View the PoE Budget

By default, ExtremeCloud enables PoE on all switch ports for switches that support PoE. Not all switch models have enough power to support 802.3at on every port.

An estimator is provided at the switch level that shows the maximum number of each AP type that the switch can power with the remaining PoE budget. The calculation is conservative and assumes the maximum power that can be drawn on all devices.

To view the PoE budget estimation:

Select Configure > Devices > Switches from the menu.
Select a switch from the list.
Details about the switch are displayed.
In the Hardware pane, next to PoE Budget, select the i button to display the PoE Budget AP Estimator. (This button only displays if the switch supports PoE.)

Note
This estimator is only available if the switch supports PoE.

Next, you can enable or disable PoE on a port. This step is optional.
