Dell C1048P Port Extender Networking Configuration Guide for the C9000 Series - Page 810

Configuring PoE or PoE+ Configuring PoE or PoE+ is a two-step process: 1. Connect the IEEE 802.3af/802.3at-compliant powered device directly to a port. 2. Enable PoE or PoE+ on the port extender. Enabling PoE or PoE+ on a Port By default, PoE or PoE+ are disabled. Configuration tasks for PoE include: • Enabling PoE and managing the inline power supplied to the port extender ports using the power inline mode command. To manage inline power in a port extender, use Configure Class or Static mode. See Configure Power Management Mode (Class and Static Mode). • Limiting the maximum amount of power (in milliwatts) available to a powered device using the power inline {[max_milliwatts] | priority {critical | high | low}} command. See Allocating PoE Power on a PE and Determining the Power Priority for a Port. Configuration Tasks for PoE or PoE+ This chapter describes how to configure and manage the PoE or PoE+ feature on C1048P PE ports. Configuration tasks for PoE include: • Configuring Power Management Mode - Class and Static Mode • Managing Ports using Power Priority and the Power Budget • Allocating PoE Power to Power Devices to a Connected PE Interface • Setting the Global Threshold limit PoE Power Budget • Detecting and Allocating Power for Legacy Powered Devices • Advertising Extended Power Though dot3-TLVs • Advertising the Extended Power through MDI • Deploying VOIP • Managing PoE on a PE - Upgrading the PoE Controller - Stopping and Restarting Power Delivery - Monitoring the Power Budget - Display Power Consumption on the Port Extender - Displaying PoE Power Allocation to Power Devices For a complete listing of all PoE commands, see the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide. 810 Power over Ethernet (PoE)
