PoE Configuration Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Firmware Version | The firmware version of the PoE software component. |
| Operational Status | The current status of the switch PoE functionality, which can be one of the following:
|
| Total Power Available | The total power in mWatts that can be provided by the switch. |
| Threshold Power | When the PoE power being used exceeds this threshold, a trap is generated to the system log to alert the system administrator of high power usage. This value is determined by the configurable System Usage Threshold percentage. |
| Consumed Power | The amount of power in mWatts currently being consumed by connected PoE devices. |
| System Usage Threshold | A percentage of the total power available. This percentage determines the threshold power. |
| Power Management Mode | The method by which the PoE controller determines supplied power, which can be one of the following:
|
| Port Auto Reset Mode | When enabled, the switch automatically resets a PoE port if an error condition occurs. When disabled, the administrator must reset the port manually. |
| Traps | When enabled, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) traps will be generated when certain events occur. Trap events include a change in whether power is being delivered on a port and when the power usage threshold is exceeded. |
