Hello Cisco guys, i am a voice guy with a question for you. i have some Cisco 1130AG that i have inhereted and they were getting Power from the power supply but we have now implemented Extreme PoE switches on the network and i want them to use that power source. some of them come up okay and some of them dont. are there any settings on the WAP that need to be turned on or off. on the switch side i have them sset up to detect power automatically. some of these are version 12.3 and some are 12.4, but there seems but that doesnt make a difference. keep in mind that my CLI experince on Cisco is very limited. thanks!

That is strange...
the ones that don't work---do they work when plugged into a port that works with other phones? Do you have a power injector (inline) also? Try these and get back to us...I have an Adtran PoE L3 switch and Polycom VoIP phones, but they need a power injector inline in order to get power from the switchports. That is any port, not just some ports like in your situation.
I would take a known working phone and plug it into a non-working port to see if is the phone or the switch.

There is nothing in the 1130's that needs to be configured for POE . We have hundreds hooked to cisco switches working fine on POE. I am assuming they were running on cisco power injectors before? If so that probably rules out the cable itself if using the same cables . That leaves something with the switch itself . Port should supply at least 15.4 watts to power the AP .

To use Cisco AP's on Extreme switches you need to enable legacy power. By default they are set up for strict 802.3af standards which really defines what resistance the switch is looking for to enable power on that port. I know that 1200 series APs do not conform to this, it sounds like 1130's may not be either.
On your Extreme switches run the command "enable inline-power legacy". This is per switch. If you're running a stack do "enable inline-power legacy slot x" for any switch you have the APs connected to.
This allows the Extreme's to look for a broader allowance of resistance to turn power on at that port.

Legacy mode will work fine with Avaya phones. Power can be assigned per-port, but legacy mode is per-switch.
There is an Extreme Networks forum here too if you need more help with the switches.
