Planning and Implementation for the

2610-PWR Switches

This chapter discusses the planning process a user should follow to

successfully implement a PoE 2610-PWR Switches. The 2610-PWR switches

and the 2600-PWR switches utilize a common PoE implementation. Port

counts, power supply wattages, specifications, and functionality for these two

platforms are the same with respect to 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.

Planning Your PoE Configuration

This section assists you in building a reliable and, if required, redundant PoE

configuration. Using the following examples you can plan, build, and connect

your PoE devices quickly and easily.

Your configuration may vary however this section discusses some of the more

common configurations.

There are three configurations:

■ ProCurve 2610-24/12PWR Switch

■ ProCurve 2610-24-PWR Switch

■ ProCurve 2610-48-PWR Switch

Each example shows a complete configuration including an optional 600 RPS/

EPS or 610 EPS unit. A table shows the PoE power available to connected PoE

devices when using just the switch or when using the switch and either the

600 RPS/EPS or 610 EPS unit. The tables show the available power when the

600 RPS/EPS or 610 EPS unit is providing PoE power to connected switch

devices.
