Configuring A Poe Interface Through The Command Line - H3C S5500-EI series Operation Manual

Operation Manual – PoE
H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches
Caution:
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:
For a device with only signal cables, power is supplied over signal cables.
For a device with spare cables and signal cables, power can be supplied over
spare cables or signal cables.
Note:
S5500-EI series Ethernet switches do not support power over spare cables. In this
case, if the PD only supports power over spare cables, you have to change the order of
the lines in the twisted pair cable to supply power to the PD.
