Task
(Optional) Specify the method the Enterasys
device uses to detect connected PDs.
• auto (default) — The Enterasys device first
uses the IEEE 802.3af/at standards resistor-
based detection method. If that fails, the
device uses the proprietary capacitor-based
detection method.
• ieee — The Enterasys device uses only the
IEEE 802.3af/at standards resistor-based
detection method.
(Optional) Set the power redundancy mode on
the system if two power supplies are installed.
• redundant (default) — The power available
to the system equals the maximum output of
the lowest rated supply (400W or 1200W). If
two supplies are installed in redundant mode,
system power redundancy is guaranteed if
one supply fails.
• non-redundant — The combined output of
both supplies is available to the system. In
this mode, a power supply failure may result
in a system reset. Also called additive mode.
If two power supplies are installed, the power
supply LEDs on the device's front panel indicate
whether the power supplies are in redundant
mode (green LEDs) or non-redundant mode
(amber LEDs).
(Optional) Set the PoE management mode on a
specified module.
• realtime (default) — Manages power based
on the actual power consumption of the ports.
• class — Manages power based on the IEEE
802.3af/at definition of the class upper limit
for each attached PD, except classes 0 and
4, for which the actual power consumption is
used. In this mode, the maximum amount of
power required by a PD in the advertised
class is reserved for the port, regardless of
the actual amount of power being used by the
device.
