I'll second the CDP if you are having power budget problems (which it appears you are not), for instance a 1231G AP that budgets for 4.4 watts with CDP will budget for 15.4 watts if CDP is disabled.

Exactly which model switches do you have? have you enabled CDP on the ports? If you're using gig ports, what happens if you set them to 100/full? -James ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
