Hi all,
We're using a lot of NetVanta 1238 PoE switches, running AOS R11.4.4 for some reason.
A fairly frequent issue is that the POE system think too much power is drawn and restarts itself:
27-09-2019 13:24:47 Local7.Warning 10.44.30.13 Sep 27 12:24:47 KCNS0502 POWER_OVER_ETHERNET: Total Power Used (6116.007W) has entered the guard band (351W).

27-09-2019 13:25:19 Local7.Warning 10.44.30.13 Sep 27 12:25:19 KCNS0502 POWER_OVER_ETHERNET: Total Power Used (33.004W) has exited the guard band (351W).
There's only a few wifi APs on it, so the ~33W is accurate, but that 6116W is just crazy.
Tried to go through the release notes since R11.4, but couldn't yet locate an entry that relates to this.
I'm kinda expecting to be told to just upgrade the switches to something recent, but with change management it'd make life a lot easier if I could just point to a document saying it was fixed in Rxx.yy, so we need to go above that.
