5. Troubleshooting Quick Reference
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Relevance to this Part | Quick Check Method | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PoE devices not powering | Budget exceeded or port disabled | ✅ High | Run “show power inline” command | Check total draw and enable ports |
| SFP+ ports no link | Wrong optics or speed config | ✅ High | Verify “show interfaces” status | Use compatible 1Gb/10Gb SFP+ |
| Stacking issues | Incompatible stack cable or member config | ✅ Medium | Check stack topology with CLI | Use qualified stacking cables |
| High temperature | Fan or airflow restriction | ✅ Medium | Monitor system sensors | Ensure proper ventilation |
| No cloud connectivity | Management VLAN or licensing | ❌ Low | Verify ExtremeCloud IQ config | Confirm licensing and network reachability |
| Intermittent PoE | Cable length or device classification | ✅ High | Test with short certified cable | Confirm cable category and device PoE class |
