Planning and Implementation for the E5400zl/E8200zl Switches
Configuration Examples
To achieve the 16 ports at 15.4 watts the PoE devices must be divided up and
connected to two different modules. Remember, as soon as a module is
installed into the switch, 22 watts are reserved for its use.
In order to use those watts, devices must be connected to that module or PoE
power must be disabled to all ports on that module.
If PoE power is disabled to all ports on a module the 22 watts that was reserved
for that module is returned to the pool of available watts and can be used by
another module’s ports.
In this example (Figure 13-3) there are three modules in the chassis; 22 watts
is reserved for each module. In order to use the 22 watts, PDs must be
connected to each module, or all ports on one module could have the PoE
power disabled.
Figure 13-3. Example of a 5406zl with two power supplies, J8712A
There are two power supplies supplying 273 watts each for a maximum of 546
watts.
35 ports can receive up to
15.4 watts of PoE power
The PoE power for all ports on
this module has been disabled
