ENABLE POE INTERFACE
Syntax
ENABLE POE INTERFACE={ type:id-range | id-range | ifname-list | ALL
} [ PRIORITY={ CRITICAL | HIGH | LOW } ] [ POWERLIMIT={ CLASS |
1..30000 } ]
Description Enables the POE interface so it may pass traffic. The priority controls which interfaces
are granted power when the power demand exceeds the available PoE power capacity.
Low priority ports are the first to be powered down, followed by high priority ports. By
default all ports are low priority. The power limit allows the user to set the maximum
power that the port can draw before shutting down. The default PoE state for each port
is enabled. .
Options The following table gives the range of values for each option that can be specified with
this command and a default value (if applicable).
Example
ENABLE POE INTERFACE=1.23
Option Description Default Value
INTERFACE A logical representation of one or more physical ports
type:id-range - the type of available ports, such as
ETH:7.0 or a range (ETH:8.0-8.9)
id-range - used with type (type:id) to query the physical
ports; the numerical identifier of the interface
ifname-list - list of interface names, if not numerical
ALL - all applicable interfaces in the system
PRIORITY Specifies which interfaces are given power when the
power demand exceeds the available PoE power capac-
ity.
CRITICAL - Critical priority ports are given power first
in a capacity shortage.
HIGH - Next priority to receive power in a capacity
shortage, if power is available.
LOW - First ports to be powered down in a capacity
shortage.
LOW
POWER-
LIMIT
Specifies the maximum power that the port can draw
before shutting down, in milliwatts.
CLASS -
the power class of the device. The PSU
identifies the class of the PD and uses the power
limit that applies to that class: Class 1 (4W), Class
2 (7W), Class 3 (15.4W), and Class 4 (30W).
1...30000 - range of power in milliwatts
