Configuring Poe Profile; Applying Poe Profile - HP A3100-8 v2 EI Configuration Manual

A PoE profile is a collection of configurations that contain multiple PoE features. On large-scale networks,
you can apply a PoE profile to multiple PoE interfaces, so that these interfaces have the same PoE features.
If the PoE interface connecting to a PD changes to another one, apply the PoE profile applied on the
originally connected interface to the connected interface instead of reconfiguring the features defined in
the PoE profile one by one. This simplifies the PoE configurations.
The device supports multiple PoE profiles. You can define PoE configurations based on each PD, save the
configurations for different PDs into different PoE profiles, and apply the PoE profiles to the access
interfaces of PDs.

Configuring PoE profile

Follow these steps to configure a PoE profile:
To do...
Enter system view
Create a PoE profile, and enter PoE
profile view
Enable PoE for the PoE interface
Configure the maximum power for
the PoE interface
Configure power supply priority
for the PoE interface
CAUTION:
If a PoE profile is applied, it cannot be deleted or modified before you cancel its application.
•
The poe max-power
•
configured in only one way, either at the CLI or by configuring PoE profile.
A PoE parameter on a PoE interface must be configured, modified, and deleted in only one way. If a
•
parameter configured in one way (for example, at the CLI) is then configured in the other way (for
example, through PoE profile), the latter configuration fails, and the original one is still effective. To make
the latter configuration effective, you must cancel the original one first.

Applying PoE profile

You can apply a PoE profile in either system view or interface view. If you perform application to a PoE
interface in both views, the latter application takes effect. To apply a PoE profile to multiple PoE interfaces,
the system view is more efficient.
Follow these steps to apply the PoE profile in system view:
To do...
Enter system view
Apply the PoE profile to one or
multiple PoE interfaces
Follow these steps to apply the PoE profile in interface view:
Use the command...
system-view
poe-profile profile-name [ index ]
poe enable
poe max-power max-power
poe priority { critical | high | low }
max-power
and poe priority { critical | high | low } commands must be
Use the command...

apply poe-profile { index index |
