An S5700-52C-PWR-EI running V200R003C00SPC300 is connected to multiple cameras, including dome cameras and bullet cameras. The bullet cameras conform to 802.af and dome cameras (AXIS) conform to 802.at. Bullet cameras can work normally. Dome cameras can be powered, and users can log in to the camera management page through IE from a PC; however, users cannot see the video and the cameras prompt insufficient power.
Connect the dome cameras to the switch without using a distribution frame. The fault persists on all the dome cameras. The maximum power and reference power on the interfaces connected to cameras are both 30 W.
Connect the dome cameras to an external PoE power module. The cameras work normally.

1. The dome cameras display the following alarm message:
Not enough power for both camera and pantilt motors.
2. The log recorded on cameras is as follows:
15:39:19 up 5 min, load average: 0.94, 0.65, 0.28

1. Check PoE information on the S5700. The maximum power and reference power on the interfaces are both 30 W, which is sufficient for PDs.

2. statisic analysic on the interfaces connected to cameras. The cameras have continuously sent LLDP packets to request 17.4 W power. The power offered by PSE is 0.


3. Enable LLDP debugging on the switch. The LLDP function is disabled on the switch.

LLDP is not enabled on the switch, so the PDs and PSE cannot negotiate power.

Enable LLDP on switch.

PoE powering procedure includes the following steps: detect –> class –> power on –> LLDP/2-event.
The 802.3af-complaint PDs require only the first three steps, whereas the 802.3at-complaint PDs require all the four steps. The powering procedure for cameras includes the following steps: software –> rotation –> camera.
After the first three steps are complete, the 802.3af-compliant PDs can work normally, and the software on the 802.3at-compliant PDs can start but the cameras cannot work because LLDP negotiation fails. In this situation, the 802.3at-compliant PDs prompt insufficient power.
