Application Notes for Extreme Networks BlackDiamond

8810 PoE Module with Avaya 4600 Series IP Telephones and

Avaya Wireless Access Points - Issue 1.1

Abstract

These Application Notes describe how to configure the Power over Ethernet module of the

Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 8810 to provide inline power for Avaya 4600 Series IP

telephones and Avaya Wireless Access Points. The various Avaya powering arrangements are

shown and the administration commands for displaying and controlling the powering status of

the switch ports are demonstrated. All test cases completed successfully. Information in these

Application Notes has been obtained through compliance testing and additional technical

discussions. Testing was conducted via the DeveloperConnection Program at the Avaya

Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

1. Introduction Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a feature offered on Ethernet switches. It allows the switch to supply power to a network device within the same cable that carries the Ethernet signaling. This simplifies network installation and powering design, removing the need for a separate power supply for a network device. IEEE 802.3af defines a standard protocol to be used by power sourcing equipment (PSE) and powered devices (PD). The PoE module of the Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 8810 is IEEE 802.

Table 3 shows the detected class, maximum allowed power, and measured power by the Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 8810 Switch for the Avaya IP telephones and Wireless Access Points. The power was measured when the powered devices were idle.

available. The system shares power among ports on a slot and automatically ensures the slot power budget is not exceeded. The BlackDiamond 8810 supports six power supply units. Use the command show power budget to view the distribution of power and available power on the switch. As shown in the following table, there are three power supply units and the total power available is 1968.00 Watts. The PoE module is in Slot 2. BD8810.

configured to 70% by default. When the slot has consumed the power usage threshold, the switch will send an alarm. The Usage Threshold can be configured by the command configure inlinepower usage-threshold , which applies to each PoE slot on the switch.

4. Interoperability Compliance Testing This Interoperability Compliance Test included PoE testing between the Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 8810 and the Avaya 4600 Series IP telephones and Avaya Wireless Access Points. 4.1. General Test Approach PoE test cases based on Figure 1 were performed manually. PoE worked as expected for the test cases, including plugging/unplugging the Avaya PDs, enabling/disabling PoE on the switch, and resetting the switch. 4.2. Test Results All test cases passed.
