SFTOS software, starting with version 2.5.1, supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality on the
S50V switch. The commands that support PoE are:
• inlinepower on page 114
• inlinepower threshold on page 115
• inlinepower admin on page 115
• inlinepower priority on page 116
• inlinepower limit on page 116
• inlinepower type on page 116
• show inlinepower (stack) on page 117
• show inlinepower on page 118
In addition to PoE commands in the CLI, SFTOS support for PoE through SNMP is by the
Power-Ethernet MIB.
PoE provides the ability to transmit both electrical power and data to remote devices over standard
twisted-pair cable. SFTOS support for PoE conforms to IEEE 802.3af, which defines a standard to
deliver power over Ethernet cables.
All 48 physical copper interfaces on the S50V have the capability to provide power. Some of the
salient features are as follows:
• The maximum power available for PoE on the switch is 360 watts, subject to factors such as other
switch requirements. The minimum available is 320 watts. Each port can provide a maximum of
20 watts, subject to the power budget, voltage, and user settings for power priority and power
limits per port and per switch in a stack. See
limit on page 116.
• Legacy devices, as well as powered devices specifically compliant with 802.3af, are supported.
• When the power budget is exceeded, the next port attempting to power up causes the currently
enabled port with the lowest priority to shut down if the port attempting to power up has a higher
PoE priority.
Enable or disable the PoE feature for a specified switch in an S-Series stack.
