I'm having some issues in a lab setup with a Cisco 9300 switch, and some Aruba AP-325 APs.
We recently changed from a Ruckus to a Cisco switch. However, now the Aruba APs have a steady amber system light. According to this link, this means they are in power restricted mode (802.3af).
If I check the Aruba MC (AOS 8.8.0.1), this does seem to be the case - the AP's are showing the r (power restricted) flag:

(And the max watts is showing 30W - although I do note they're pulling at 15W).
I took a POE tester to one of the ports on the Cisco switch - and requested Class 4 - however, it seemed to return to me Class 3 - so to my untrained eye it seems like an issue with the Cisco switch - but the Cisco power inline output shows Class 4 for those ports?

Does anybody have any ideas what's going on?
