    Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Power Over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) The following section applies to x600-24Ts-POE and x600-24Ts-POE+ Gigabit Ethernet switches only. The 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the x600-24Ts-POE switch feature Power over Ethernet (PoE), defined in the IEEE 802.3af standard.
  • Page 42: Poe

    Chapter 1: Overview Power is injected on the Ethernet cabling along with data by Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), like an Ethernet LAN switch or router. The IEEE 802.3af, Power over Ethernet specification can provide up to 15.4 watts of power at the PSE. A PD under the IEEE 802.3af specification can use no more than 12.95 watts.
  • Page 43: Differences Between Poe, Poe+ And Enhanced Poe

    Enhanced PoE delivers between 15.4W and 20W at 48VDC. Enhanced PoE is supported on x600-24Ts-POE, x600-24Ts-POE+ switches. Up to 18 x ports can be configured for Enhanced PoE on x600-24Ts-POE and x600-24Ts-POE+ switches, compared to up to 24 x ports that can be configured for PoE.
  • Page 44: Power Classes

    SFP combo port. Power Capacity The PSU in the x600-24Ts-POE supplies enough power for the switch itself and for PoE provision for all PoE capable switch ports. However, the PSU in the x600-24Ts-POE+ supplies enough power for the switch itself and enough power is available for PoE+ provision for 12 of the 24 PoE+ capable switch ports.
  • Page 45: Implementation

    However, the maximum possible PoE+ power requirement (24 ports x 30W ~ 720 watts) is above the maximum amount of power available (370W) for the PSU installed in the x600-24Ts-POE+. This means that you can connect powered devices to 12 ports on the x600-24Ts-POE+ switch...

  • Page 57: Resilient Stacked Topology

    x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Resilient Stacked Where network connectivity uptime is a major criteria, you can use virtual chassis stacking to create highly reliable network configurations. Topology Employing link aggregation rather than spanning tree to manage the parallel paths, enables the bandwidth of both data links to be utilized under normal conditions, whilst enabling a single data link to operate should its partner link fail.
  • Page 58: Stack Formation

    Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Stack Formation A virtual chassis stack (VCS) always contains a master plus a number of stack members. To be part of a stack, a switch must connect to other potential stack members via dedicated stacking ports on the VCS Stacking module located in the rear of the switch.
  • Page 59 x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Note The ability to independently set both a stack member’s priority and its ID means that the stack master does not need to have an ID of 1; although configuration is simplified by arranging for ID 1 to be the device with the lowest priority value - and thereby forcing it to be the stack master.

    Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking VCS Failure If the stack master fails or is removed, the other stack members decide which of two actions to take: Recovery 1. Fallback action. 2. Re-elect a new stack master. Note The master fail-over process will be slower than a stack member failure, and will require the restart (reconvergence) of routing protocols such as RIP.

    x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Stack An operational stack configuration may require occasional maintenance when you need to add, replace or repairing a broken stack stub. Maintenance Adding a Stack Member An unstacked switch can be added to an existing stack (hot swapped in) with minimal impact on traffic.
