Follow the steps below to activate the automatic PD recovery.
1 In the PORT > Auto PD Recovery screen, activate the feature.
Polling Count Specify how many times the Switch is to resend a ping request before considering the PD
unreachable.
For example, If there is no ping reply from the PD after the Polling Interval (sec) has elapsed,
Polling Count starts from 1. After Polling Count reaches 3, the PD Health status LED will turn to
red in the MONITOR > Neighbor screen. The Switch will then perform your choice in the Action
field.
Action Set the action to take when the connected PD has stopped responding.
Select Reboot-Alarm to have the Switch turn OFF the power of the connected PD (the
connecting port is detected as link-down) and turn it back ON again to restart the PD after
sending an SNMP trap and generating a log message.
When restarting, the PD entry disappears from the Switch’s LLDP table and the PD Health
status LED will turn to yellow in the MONITOR > Neighbor screen.

Interval (sec)
