Power over Ethernet Specifications
The table below lists general specifications for Alcatel-Lucent’s Power over Ethernet support. For more
detailed power supply and Power Source Equipment (PSE) specifications, refer to Chapter 3,
“OmniSwitch 6450 Chassis and Hardware Components.”
* For OS6450-P10S switches, PoE support of up to ~75W per port is provided on ports 1 through 4.
These ports are labeled “HPoE” on the chassis front panel. HPoE at ~75W per port must be enabled via
the lanpower power command. PoE support of up to 30W per port is provided on PoE ports 5 through 8.
The maximum PoE power budget available for all ports is 280W.
IEEE Standards supported*
IEEE 802.3at
HPoE and IEEE 802.3at on OS6450-P10S only,
on ports 1 through 4; see important note below.
Default PoE administrative status Enabled
Default PoE operational status Disabled (PoE must be activated on a switch-
by-switch basis via the lanpower start
command.)
