Hello there,
I recently adquired a WS3 with 2.0.8 version. After sent to production i realized that the CPU was 99% all time.
After I upgraded to 2.0.9rc2 the CPU is still at 99% all the time.
this is top command output:

By any chance are you using the Netonix Manager?

[jt.jofre]

Hi,
I have netonix manager for all my devices, but this WS3 is not added yet.

Please take a look at this forum thread to see if any of the details mentioned may apply to your device setup and network.

So i have a WS3 running the 2.0.9rc2 that I just deployed. Was replacing a really old WS-12-250A that was running 1.5.14 firmware. Here is what I have notice. The same total aggregate wattage displayed issue across all ports not showing correctly which was mentioned before in the 2.0.8 still exists.

But my biggest issue is I am getting falsing on the 48VH ports when trying to power an Aviat 80ghz radio that was running perfectly fine in the WS-12-250A. (power draw is 55.6 watts on this radio when fully booted up).

I am powering a AF24 just fine on Port #3. Trying to Power the Aviat on Port 4 and it never starts drawing power. Log shows: "Port 4 cable check results: Abnormal termination, Abnormal termination, Abnormal termination, Abnormal termination". I have moved it to ports 2,3,6 and it does the same thing. I tried disabled Smart POE and it still does nothing. If I try to power it with 48v (non-H) it will power up. (these Aviats take like 5+ minutes before they fully power up so the power draw is minimal 20-25 watts initially so powering with non-H is ok as long as i don't let it go past 5 minutes that way).

One time i was able to get it to power up i flipped it with the AF24 that was on port 3 and it powered up. After it did I rebooted the WS3 and it went back to what it was doing before. I feel like its not the radio because it powers fine on the older Netonix Switch. My WS3 is revision D if that matters.

What is the MAC address?

Did you have POE Smart disabled on the old switch?
IF THIS IS YES

You said you turned POE Smart off on the port in the WS3 and that did not help, correct?
IF THIS IS YES

If you use an AF24 POE brick does it power up fine then plug it into the switch port with POE OFF on that port.
IF THIS YES

IF ALL 3 ABOVE YES THEN THERE MAY BE A BUG IN THE WS3 FIRMWARE ON THE POE Smart DISABLE OPTION.

There was another radio years ago that had to have POE Smart DISABLED for the radio to work which is why the option was created. This option may not be working correctly in the WS3 due to the AOCP.
