Port Power Reset; Poe Usage Threshold; Legacy Devices - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Guide Manual

Power Delivery
To display the status of PoE ports, including disconnected or faulted ports, use the following command:
show inline-power info ports
When a port is disconnected or otherwise moves into a fault state, SNMP generates an event (once you
configure SNMP and a log message is created).

Port Power Reset

You can set ports to experience a power-down, discover, power-up cycle without returning the power to
the slot's reserved power budget. This function allows you to reset PDs without losing their claim to the
reserved power budget.
The following command power cycles the specified ports:
reset inline-power ports <port_list>
Ports are immediately depowered and repowered, maintaining current power allocations.

PoE Usage Threshold

The system generates an SNMP event when any slot has consumed a specified percentage of that slot's
reserved power budget. The default value is 70%; you can configure this threshold to generate events
from 1% to 99% consumption of the reserved power budget. This threshold percentage is set to be the
same for each PoE slot; you cannot configure it differently for each PoE module. You can also configure
the system to log an Event Management System (EMS) message when the usage threshold is crossed
(refer to Chapter 8 for more information on EMS).
Although the threshold percentage of measured to budgeted power applies to all PoE modules, the
threshold measurement applies only to the percentage per slot of measured power to budgeted power
use; it does not apply to the amount of power used switchwide.
To configure the threshold percentage of budgeted power used on a slot that causes the system to
generate an SNMP event and EMS message, use the following command:
configure inline-power usage-threshold <threshold>
To reset the threshold that causes the system to generate an SNMP event and EMS message per slot to
70% for measured power compared to budgeted power, use the following command:
unconfigure inline-power usage-threshold

Legacy Devices

ExtremeWare XOS software allows the use of non-standard PDs with the switch. These are PDs that do
not comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard.
The system detects non-standard PDs using a capacitance measurement. You must enable the switch to
detect legacy devices; the default value is disabled. You configure the detection of legacy PoE devices
per slot.
