Configuring The Total Power Available To A Port; Configuring The Total Power Available To A Slot - Nokia Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6360 Hardware User's Manual

Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Fast PoE requires the proper FPGA/CPLD version, refer to the release notes for additional information.
•
Factory default switches that don't have any PoE configuration must have an initial PoE configuration
•
completed.
The PoE configuration cannot be modified until the switch is up and the PoE software module is
•
completely initialized.
LLDP-based PoE devices will not function as expected until the switch has completed the boot-up
•
process and the switch is in a state to respond to LLDP requests.
Perpetual PoE
Perpetual PoE allows the switch to provide uninterrupted power to connected power devices (PD) even
when the switch is rebooting or reloading, such as on a soft reset.
Perpetual PoE requires the proper FPGA/CPLD version, refer to the release notes for additional infor-
•
mation.
The power to the PD devices will be interrupted if the PoE controller (MCU) firmware itself is being
•
upgraded.

Configuring the Total Power Available to a Port

By default, each port is authorized by the system software to use up to a maximum amount of milliwatts to
power any attached device.
You can either increase or decrease this value based on the allowed ranges.
Increasing the total power available to an individual port may provide a more demanding Powered Device
(PD) with additional power required for operation. Decreasing the total power available to a port helps to
preserve inline power and assists in the overall management of the switch's power budget.
To increase or decrease the total power available to an individual port, use the
command. Since you are setting the power allowance for an individual port, you must specify chassis/slot/
port values in the command line. For example, the syntax
-> lanpower port 1/1/24 power 3000
reduces the power allowance on port 24 to 3000 milliwatts. This new value is now the maximum amount
of power the port can use to power any attached device (until the value is modified by the user).

Configuring the Total Power Available to a slot

Like the maximum port power allowance, the system software also provides a maximum slot-wide power
allowance. By default, each slot is authorized by the system software to use a number of watts to power all
devices connected to its ports depending on which power supply is used.
As with the maximum port power allowance, the user can either increase or decrease this value based on
the allowed ranges.
Important. Decreasing the slot-wide power could cause lower priority ports to lose power if the new
value is less than the total PoE power currently being consumed.
