Configuring PoE
7-10 Configuring System Power and PoE
Refer to the switch’s CLI Reference Guide for more information about each command.
Example PoE Configuration
A PoE-compliant G-Series device is configured as follows:
• One 400W power supply is installed. The power available for PoE is 150W.
• Two PoE modules are installed.
•The set inlinepower mode command is set to auto, which means that the power available for
PoE (150W) is distributed evenly—75W to each PoE module.
• The power required to run the PDs, which are all connected to this G-Series device through
the module in slot 2, is 100W.
To make power available for all the PDs connected to the module in slot 2, the network
administrator must first change the setting of the set inlinepower mode command:
G3(su)->set inlinepower mode manual
When this setting for the set inlinepower mode command changes to manual, none of the 150W
available for PoE are assigned to the PoE modules. The network administrator must assign the
150W, or some portion of the 150W to the PoE modules to power the attached PDs.
G3(su)->set inlinepower assign 100 2
