Description | This article explains the meaning of the message 'Non-802.3af powered device' that sometimes appears on a FortiSwitch when executing the command 'get switch poe inline'. |
Scope | POE and FPOE FortiSwitches 6.4.x, 7.x. |
Solution |
An example of the error:
# get switch poe inline
Power Fault: Error Type 28 (Port is off: Non-802.3af powered device)
Explanation:
In this error, the PSE controller assumes the connected device isn't an 802.3af PD. This can happen even if the device is getting POE.
To work around this error, try enabling POE pre-standard detection:
set poe-pre-standard-detect enable end
NOTE: PoE pre-standard detection is a global setting for the following FortiSwitch models: 'FSR-112D-POE, FS-548D-FPOE, FS-524D-FPOE, FS-108D-POE, FS-224D-POE, FS-108E-POE, FS-108E-FPOE, FS-124E-POE, FS-124E-FPOE, 148F-POE, and 148F-FPOE'. For the other FortiSwitch PoE models, PoE pre-standard detection is set on each port.
# config switch physical-port edit port# set poe-pre-standard-detect enable end
