Configure PoE on Ports

About this task

Enable or disable PoE on a port, and configure PoE priority and power limit settings.

Important

If Fast PoE or Perpetual PoE are enabled and you change any other global or port-specific PoE settings, you must resave the running configuration file.

Procedure

In the Device Physical View, select one or more ports that support PoE. For information about which ports support PoE, see your hardware documentation.
In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Edit > Port.
Select General.
Select the PoE tab.
Configure the fields as required.
Click Apply.
