PoE configuration using the CLI
Setting PoE port power limit
Set the power limit to the PoE port for power consumption.
Important:
The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 software automatically adds one additional watt to the
power limit to cover possible additional power loss between the PD and the PSE. Therefore,
the run-time port power consumption is higher than the configured power limit (the run-time
port power consumption should always be less than the configured power limit + 1 W).
Procedure steps
Set the PoE port power limit by using the following command:
config poe port <portlist> power-limit
Variable definitions
Use the data in the following table to help you use the config poe port <portlist>
power-limit command.
Variable
power-limit <value>
Setting PoE port power detection control
Set the power detection control for the PoE port to detect power loss.
Procedure steps
Set the PoE port power detection control by using the following command:
config poe port <portlist> power-detection-control
Variable definitions
Use the data in the following table to help you use the config poe port <portlist>
power-detection-control command.
Variable
power-detection-control
<auto|test>
