Planning and Implementation for the E5400zl/

E8200zl Switches

This chapter discusses the planning process a user should follow to

successfully implement PoE or PoE+ on E5400zl/E8200zl switches. The

E5412zl chassis and the E8212zl chassis share a common PoE/PoE+

implementation, and the E5406zl chassis and the E8206zl chassis share a

common PoE/PoE+ implementation. Port counts, power supply wattages,

specifications, and functionality for these two platforms are the same with

respect to PoE and PoE+.

After understanding what PoE is and its operating rules, the next step to

implementation is planning. See “General Considerations” page A-1, for an

example list of considerations during the planning phase.
