CHAPTER 15
Power Over Ethernet
15.1 Power Over Ethernet Overview
This chapter shows you how you can configure the Power Over Ethernet features.
Your Switch supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE).
A powered device (PD) is a device such as an access point or a switch, that
supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) so that it can receive power from another
device through a 10/100Mbps Ethernet port.
In the figure below, the IP camera and IP phone get their power directly from the
Switch. Aside from minimizing the need for cables and wires, PoE removes the
hassle of trying to find a nearby electric outlet to power up devices.
Figure 53 Powered Device Examples
You can also set priorities so that the Switch is able to reserve and allocate power
to certain PDs.
15.2 What You Can Do
Use the Power Over Ethernet screen (Section 15.3 on page 116) to view and
configure the amount of power that PDs are receiving from the Switch.
