HAL.PoE.PurgOldHwFastCfg

Description

The well-known info object, FAST_POE_ENABLE_INFO_OBJ, indicates fast PoE is disabled. The switch also has perpetual PoE disabled. But the configurations queried from PoE hardware at boot time are not defaults, which indicates fast PoE configurations are still saved in hardware and used at boot time.

Remedy

This is a rare error. It may be caused by the failure of clearing fast PoE configuration from hardware in the last boot or the switch's NVRAM is cleared. When this inconsistent state is detected, the software resolves it by clearing the fast PoE configurations from hardware.

Severity

Warning

Message Text

Fast PoE is disabled in hardware but configurations are still found in hardware - clearing them now.
