Configuring PoE
PoE on the G48P module supports a full set of configuration and monitoring commands that allow you
configure, manage, and display PoE settings at the system, slot, and port level. Refer to the ExtremeWare
XOS Command Reference Guide for complete information on using the CLI commands.
To enable inline power, or PoE, you must have a powered chassis and module.
NOTE
If your chassis has an inline power module and there is not enough power to supply a slot, that slot will not power
on; the slot will not function in data-only mode without enough power for inline power.
To configure inline power, or PoE, you must accomplish the following tasks:
â—Ź Enable inline power to the system, slot, and/or port.
â—Ź Reserve power to the PoE slot, using a power budget.
â—Ź Configure the disconnect precedence for the PDs in the case of excessive power demands.
â—Ź Configure the threshold for initiating system alarms on power usage.
Additionally, you can configure the switch to use legacy PDs, apply specified PoE limits to ports, apply
labels to PoE ports, and configure the switch to allow you to reset a PD without losing its power
allocation.
Enabling Inline Power
You enable inline power to the switch, slot, or port using the following commands:
enable inline-power
enable inline-power slot <slot>
enable inline-power ports [all | <port_list>]
NOTE
If your chassis has an inline power module and there is not enough power to supply a slot, that slot will not power
on; the slot will not function in data-only mode without enough power for inline power.
To disable inline power to the switch, slot, or port, use the following commands:
disable inline-power
disable inline-power slot <slot>
disable inline-power ports [all | <port_list>]
Disabling the inline power to a PD immediately removes power from the PD.
To display the configuration for inline power, use the following command:
show inline-power
