Meraki PoE from HP 5400zl

Had a strange one a while back.  Just now getting around to posting it.  I'm currently supporting two larger 5400zl switches and Meraki WAPs.  After I upgraded the WAPs, I noticed they said something about low power mode.  As a red blooded american male who grew up watching "Home Improvement" with my grandpa, I immediately announced my disgust with a primal grunt.  So just like Tim (the toolman) Taylor, I started looking for more power.  (insert three gunts)  Here are the procedures I used to fix the problem.

interface J6
   name "WAP-NAME-HERE”
   power-over-ethernet critical
   poe-allocate-by value
   poe-value 33
   poe-lldp-detect enabled
   exit

Now you will need to cycle the power on that port.  You can either walk over to the port and unplug it from the switch and plug it back in like a caveman or you can enter the following command to power cycle PoE.

no interface J6 power-over-ethernet
