Hello,
I recently deployed a number of MR42's connected to WS-C3850-48P running 3.07.05e and noticed they all came up in low power mode.
Interface Admin Oper Power Device Class Max
(Watts)
--------- ------ ---------- ------- ------------------- ----- ----
Gi1/0/44 auto on 15.4 MR42 4 30.0
Gi1/0/45 auto on 15.4 MR42 4 30.0
Gi1/0/46 auto on 15.4 MR42 4 30.0
Gi1/0/47 auto on 15.4 MR42 4 30.0
I checked through doc 2068 on configuring Cisco switches but I already had LLDP running and didn't want to statically set power on the ports.
I found the following command fixed the issue when entered on each interface connected to an AP:
power inline port 2-event
The APs immediately switched to full 802.3at (no reboot required):

Gi1/0/45 auto on 30.0 MR42 4 30.0
Gi1/0/46 auto on 30.0 MR42 4 30.0
Gi1/0/47 auto on 30.0 MR42 4 30.0
Just thought I'd share this in case anyone else comes across the same issue.
