Verifying the AT-IE300-12GP Switch
Verifying the PoE
Budget

This section contains the following procedures for the AT-IE300-12GP
Switch:
"Verifying the PoE Budget" on page 102
"Configuring Alternatives A and B" on page 103
"Configuring the Provisioned PoE Budget" on page 104
The following procedure explains how to verify the PoE budget on the AT-
IE300-12GP Switch. The budget is the maximum wattage the switch has
available for the powered devices on its twisted pair ports. The budget for
should be 240W for power supplies that meet the specifications in "Power
Supplies" on page 48.
The procedure assumes you have already started a local management
session on the device. For instructions, refer to "Starting a Local
Management Session" on page 100. To confirm the PoE budget, perform
the following procedure:
1. Enter the ENABLE command at the User Exec mode to move to the
Privileged Exec mode, as shown here:
awplus> enable
awplus#
2. Enter the SHOW POWER-INLINE command at the Privileged Exec
mode prompt, as shown here:
awplus# show power-inline
3. Examine the Power Allocated field in the command output. It should be
240W. This is the maximum PoE budget for the powered devices on
the ports of the AT-IE300-12GP Switch.
If the power budget is 240W, go to the next step.
If the power budget is less than 240W, either the power supply does
not meet the specifications in "Power Supplies" on page 48 or it has a
problem. If the latter, refer to Chapter 6, "Troubleshooting" on page
109 for troubleshooting suggestions.
4. Please review the following information.
Ports connected to non-PoE devices do not require any further
configuration steps. The ports function as regular networking ports, but
without power for PoE devices.
