Aruba 2530 - Assigning Poe Ports to Vlans; Applying Security Features to Poe Configurations; Assigning Priority Policies to Poe Traffic; Poe Event Log Messages

Assigning PoE ports to VLANs
If your network includes VLANs, you may want to assign various PoE-configured ports to specific VLANs. For
example, if you are using PoE telephones in your network, you may want to assign ports used for telephone
access to a VLAN reserved for telephone traffic.
Applying security features to PoE configurations
You can utilize security features built into the switch to control device or user access to the network through PoE
ports in the same way as non-PoE ports.
MAC Address Security: Using Port Security, you can configure each switch port with a unique list of MAC
addresses for devices that are authorized to access the network through that port. For more information, refer to
the titled “Configuring and Monitoring Port Security” in the access security guide for your switch.
Assigning priority policies to PoE traffic
You can use the configurable QoS (Quality of Service) features in the switch to create prioritization policies for
traffic moving through PoE ports. The available classifiers and their order of precedence are show in the table
below.
Table 8: Classifiers for prioritizing outbound packets
Priority QoS classifier
1 UDP/TCP application type (port)
2 Device priority (destination or source IP address)
3 IP type of service (ToS) field (IP packets only)
4 VLAN priority
5 Incoming source-port on the switch
6 Incoming 802.1 priority (present in tagged VLAN environments)
For more on this topic, refer to the titled “Quality of Service: Managing Bandwidth More Effectively” in the
Advanced Traffic Management Guide for your switch.
PoE Event Log messages
Please see the event log message reference guide for information about Event Log messages. To see these
manuals, go to http://www.hpe.com/networking. Auto search the model number for your switch, for Example:
“HPE Switch 2530”, then select the device from the list and click on Product manuals. Click on the “User guide”
link under Manuals.
About PoE operation
Using the commands described in this chapter, you can:
• Enable or disable PoE operation on individual ports.
• Monitor PoE status and performance per module.
