Power Reserve Budget

Summit X460-24p and X460-48p Switches Only

Summit X460-24p and X460-48p switches have two removable internal PSUs, each capable of delivering 380 W of power.

When two PSUs are present, the total power budget is 760 W and PSU load-sharing is in effect. If one PSU fails or is removed then the power budget will drop to 380 W and port priority will be used to determine which ports remain powered up if usage was more than 380 W before the event.

Summit X430-8p Switches Only

The Summit X430-8p switches have one internal PSU capable of delivering 90 W of power (in standalone desktop configuration).
Note

Note

The power budget is set to 60W during startup.

Summit X430-24p Switches Only

The Summit X430-24p have one internal PSU capable of delivering 370W of power.

Summit X440-24p and X440-48p Switches Only

The Summit X440-24p switches have one internal PSU capable of delivering 380 W of power.

Summit X440-8p Switches Only

The Summit X440-8p switches have one internal PSU capable of delivering 170 W of power.

Summit X4560-G2 Switches Only

The Summit X450-G2 non-PoE+ models support a fixed internal 156W AC/DC PSU, whereas X450-G2 PoE+ models support dual, hot-swappable 1100W/715W/350W AC/DC PSUs.

Summit X460-G2 Switches Only

The Summit X460-G2 supports two PSUs : 1100W and 715W. When 1100W is used, the switch is capable of delivering 850W of power. When 715W is used, the switch is capable of delivering 465W of power.

Modular Switches Only

On modular PoE switches, the power budget is provided on a per slot basis, not switchwide.

You can reserve power for each slot, or PoE module. Power reserved for a specific PoE module cannot be used by any other slot regardless of how much power is actually consumed on the specified slot. The default power budget reserved for each PoE module is 50 W. The minimum power you can assign to a slot is 37 W, or 0 W if the slot is disabled. The maximum possible for each slot is 768 W.
Note

Note

We recommend that when using a modular switch you fully populate a single PoE module with PDs until the power usage is just below the usage threshold, instead of spacing PDs evenly across PoE modules.

If you disable a slot with a PoE module, the reserved power budget remains with that slot until you unconfigure or reconfigure the power budget. Also, you can reconfigure the reserved power budget for a PoE module without disabling the device first; you can also reconfigure dynamically. These settings are preserved across reboots and other power-cycling conditions.

The total of all reserved slot power budgets cannot be larger than the total available power to the switch. If the base module power requirements plus the reserved PoE power for all modules exceeds the unallocated power in the system, the lowest numbered slots have priority in getting power and one or more modules in higher-numbered slots will be powered down.
Note

Note

On modular switches, PoE modules are not powered-up at all, even in data-only mode, if the reserved PoE power cannot be allocated to that slot.

Guard Band

To reduce the chances of ports fluctuating between powered and non-powered states, newly inserted PDs are not powered when the actual delivered power for the module or switch is within a preset value below the configured inline power budget for that slot or switch.

This band is called the guard band and the value used is 20 W for Summit X430, X440-24p, X460-24p, X460-48p, X460-G2, X440-8p, and X440-48p switches. However, actual aggregate power can be delivered up to the configured inline power budget for the slot or switch (for example, when delivered power from ports increases or when the configured inline power budget for the slot is reduced).
