Conditions
Physically there is nothing connected in those interfaces.
The interfaces are shown as down/down.
When POE or non-POE devices are physically connected they work properly.
The log messages are cosmetic.
Workaround
Any one of the the following workarounds can be used to stop the syslog messages:
1) The "power inline never" command stops the syslog messages.
2) The "shutdown" command stops the syslog messages.
3)
Disable Logging for Level5 and above
Switch(config)#logging console 4
Switch(config)#logging buffered 4
switch(config)#logging monitor 4
switch(config)#logging host 4
4) Disable inline-power log events
Switch(config)# interface range Gigabit/0/1 - , Gigabit/0/1 - ,
Switch(config)#no logging event power-inline-status
Further Problem Description
IOS-XE version 3.6.4E, 3.7.3E and higher resolve this issue permanently. Use workaround if upgrade not possible.
