Provisioning Power for PoE
PoE/PoE+ Allocation Using LLDP Information
A PoE port can automatically configure certain PoE+ link partner devices if
the device supports advertising of its PoE needs.
By enabling PoE LLDP detection, available information about the power
requirements of the PD may be used by the switch to configure the power
allocation. The initial configuration for PoE ports may change if more accurate
configuration information is provided by way of LLDP.
For more information, see the Management and Configuration Guide for
your switch at www.hp.com/networking/support.
HP ProCurve 2910al PoE+ Switches
Maximum PoE Power
The Switch 2910al-24G-PoE+ provisions (allocates power to) ports 1-24 with
382 watts of power for PoE and PoE+ applications compatible with the IEEE
802.3af and the 802.3at standard and some pre-standard devices. The Switch
2910al-48G-PoE+ provisions ports 1-48 with 382 watts. This reduces the
average per port wattage by half as compared to the Switch 2910al-24G-PoE+.
An external power supply, the HP ProCurve 630 Redundant and/or External
(HP ProCurve 630 RPS/EPS) power supply (J9443A) can be connected to
either of the 2910al PoE+ switches to provide redundant or extra PoE+ power.
