Configuring PoE
7-4 Configuring System Power and PoE
• Class mode, in which the PoE controller manages power based on the IEEE 802.3af/.3at
definition of the class limits advertised by the attached devices, with the exception that for
class 0 and class 4 devices, actual power consumption will always be used. In this mode, the
maximum amount of power required by a device in the advertised class is reserved for the
port, regardless of the actual amount of power being used by the device.
Power management to PDs is configured with the command set inlinepower management. PoE
classes are defined in Table 7-1 on page 7-2.
Configuring PoE
Table 7-2 lists the PoE settings that you can configure through the CLI on each PoE-compliant
Enterasys device.
