i have a ms-24p switch,with the p at the end of the part number i presume it is a poe switch. But the switch does not power up any poe device.,what could be the issue with this?

Kind of a big deal

Is PoE enabled in the switch settings:

What kind of service are you trying to power? What standard of PoE does it say in its specs?

 

yes it is. unifi access point.,,,normally the same ap is powered by WS-C2960+24PC-S  which is poe not poe+,so why would the meraki ms120-24p not power it up?

Ubiquiti AP's require a 24v passive PoE. Meraki switches provide 802.3af/at based PoE. These two types of PoE are not compatible with each other. You need a PoE converter to power the Ubiquiti AP off a Meraki switch.

guys kindly help me out here

 

What model of AP exactly? I see some Unifi models only support passive PoE which is not a standard. That could explain why it's not working.

@Felix_Mugambi  have you tried plugging the AP directly into the switch rather than structured cabling?

 

What model of AP are you using?

Older AC Lite modes were passive PoE, current ones are normal af.
