WAP551 connected to WS-C2960X-24TD-L does not turn on, no PoE? I just set up a new WS-C2960X-24TD-L, and I can access the switch via Network Assistant without any issues. However, when I plug in the WAP directly to the switch with the included cable, it seems to get no power, and nothing lights up. I am fairly new to the Cisco switches and WAPs. Is there something I need to do to get PoE working so that the WAP will turn on?

That particular switch model, WS-C2960X-24TD-L, doesn't have PoE.

You will either need a switch which has PoE, or you will need an inline PoE adapter.
