Configuring PoE power mode

The switch can operate in two Power over Ethernet (PoE) budget modes:
• Fanless mode — Low Power Budget Mode
• Normal mode — High Power Budget Mode
The default is: High Power Budget Mode (Normal mode, fan operates).
In Fanless mode, the fan is shut down and will not be activated, despite the internal temperature. To
prevent the switch from overheating, the PoE budget is limited to 60 Watts. Although the internal
temperature may show as High in this mode, the ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch has been designed to
operate at temperatures about 60°C. When the switch is operating in Fanless mode, diagnostic fan
tests are not performed and the show environmental command does not display details about
the fan.
In Normal mode, the fan operates normally and is activated when the temperature reaches its
threshold. See Setting a power usage threshold
not limited; a maximum of 170 Watts is available.
Use the following procedure to set the PoE operating mode to low (Fanless) or high (Normal) power
budget mode.
Procedure
1. Enter Global Configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
2. At the command prompt, enter the following command:
[default] poe power-mode {low-power-budget| high-power-budget}
Note:
The switch does not need to reboot for the change in power mode to take effect.
