Configuring PoE power mode using EDM
The ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch is able to operate in two Power over Ethernet (PoE) budget modes:
• Fanless mode — Low Power Budget Mode
• Normal mode — High Power Budget Mode
The default is: High Power Budget Mode (Normal mode, fan operates).
In Fanless mode, the fan is shut down and will not be activated, despite the internal temperature. To
prevent the switch from overheating, the PoE budget is limited to 60 Watts. Although the internal
temperature may show as High in this mode, the ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch has been designed to
operate at internal temperatures above 60°C. When the switch is operating in Fanless mode,
diagnostic fan tests are not performed.
In Normal mode, the fan operates normally and is activated when the temperature reaches its
threshold. See
Managing switch PoE using EDM on page 148. In Normal mode, the PoE budget is
not limited; a maximum of 170 Watts is available.
Use this procedure to set the PoE power budget mode.
