Poe Configuration Task List; Configuring The Poe Interface; Protocol Specification - HP 4800G Series Configuration Manual

Table of Contents

A PD is a device accepting power from the PSE. There are standard PDs and nonstandard PDs. A

standard PD refers to the one that complies with IEEE 802.3af. The PD that is being powered by the

PSE can be connected to other power supply units for redundancy backup.

The protocol specification related to PoE is IEEE 802.3af.

PoE Configuration Task List

Complete these tasks to configure PoE:

Configuring PoE Power Management

Configuring the PoE Monitoring Function

Upgrading PSE Processing Software Online

Configuring a PD Disconnection Detection Mode

Enabling the PSE to Detect Nonstandard PDs

When the PoE power or PSE fails, you cannot configure PoE.

Turning off of the PoE power during the startup of the device might result in the failure to restore

the PoE configuration.

Configuring the PoE Interface

You can configure a PoE interface in either of the following two ways:

Adopting the command line.

Configuring a PoE configuration file and applying the file to the specified PoE interface(s).

Usually, you can adopt the command line to configure a single PoE interface, and adopt a PoE

configuration file to configure multiple PoE interfaces at the same time.

You can adopt either mode to configure, modify, or delete a PoE configuration parameter under the

same PoE interface.

The PSE supplies power for a PoE interface in the following two modes:

Signal cables modes: For a device with only signal cables, power is supplied over signal cables.
