HPE6-A86 · Question #16
A technician installed a new 550 series access point, which is cabled back to a CX 6000 series switch. However, there are no lights on the AP. What could cause this?
The correct answer is B. PoE is disabled on the interface. The 550 series access point requires Power over Ethernet from the switch to power on. If PoE is disabled on the CX 6000 switch interface, the access point will not receive power, resulting in no indicator lights.
