The PoE Port Configuration screen contains the following fields:
• Interface – Displays the specific interface for which PoE parameters are defined. PoE
parameters are assigned to the powered device that is connected to the selected interface.
• Admin Mode – Select the device PoE mode. The possible field values are:
– Enabled – Enables the Device Discovery protocol and provides power to the powered
devices using the PoE module. The Device Discovery Protocol enables the device to
discover Powered Devices attached to the device interfaces and to learn their
classification. This is the default setting.
– Disabled – Disables the Device Discovery protocol and stops the power supply to the
powered devices using the PoE module.
• Priority Level – Select the port priority if the power supply is low. The field default is
low. For example, if the power supply is running at 99% usage, and port 1 is prioritized as
high, but port 3 is prioritized as low, port 1 receives power and port 3 may be denied
power. The possible field values are:
– Low – Sets the PoE priority level as low. This is the default level.
– Medium – Sets the PoE priority level as medium.
