Chapter 10: Managing Power Over Ethernet

Configuring PoE switch parameters

You configure power parameters for each Ethernet Routing Switch 3500–PWR+ with ACLI. You can
configure the DC power source and the power usage with this management system.

Setting the method to detect power devices

Set the method the PWR+switch uses to detect the power devices connected to the front ports.
You must ensure that this setting is the correct one for the IP appliance you use with the switch.
Please note this setting applies to the entire switch, not port-by-port. So, you must ensure that this
setting is configured correctly for all the IP appliances on a specified switch.
