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.

PoE Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to configure PoE settings for specific ports.


Name	Description
AdminEnable	Enabled or disables PoE on this port.
FastPoeEnable Note: Exception: only supported on 5520 Series and VSP 4900 Series.	Enables or disables Fast PoE on this port. The default is disabled.
PerpetualPoeEnable Note: Exception: only supported on 5520 Series and VSP 4900 Series.	Enables or disables Perpetual PoE on this port. The default is disabled.
DetectionStatus	Specifies the operational status of the power device detecting mode on this port: Disabled—detecting function disabled Searching—detecting function is enabled and the system is searching for a valid powered device on this port DeliveringPower—detection found a valid powered device and the port is delivering power Fault (OtherFault)—a power-specific fault has been detected on the port Test—detecting device is in test mode
PowerClassifications	Specifies the power classification of the device connected to this port. Power classification tags different terminals on the Power over LAN network according to their power consumption. Devices such as IP telephones, WLAN access points, and others can be classified according to their power requirements.
PowerPriority	Configures the power priority for this port: critical high low
PowerLimit(Watts)	Configures the maximum power that the switch can supply to a port.
Voltage(volts)	Specifies the power measured in volts.
Current(amps)	Specifies the power measured in amps.
Power(Watts)	Specifies the power measured in watts.
