Application Notes for the ProCurve 5406zl Switch by HP

Supporting Power over Ethernet with Avaya

Communication Manager, Avaya one-X™ G11 PSTN

Gateway and Avaya IP Telephones – Issue 1.0

Abstract

These Application Notes describe the procedures for configuring the ProCurve 5406zl

Switch by HP to provide inline Power over Ethernet (PoE) to Avaya 1600/4600/9600 Series

IP Telephones registered to Avaya Communication Manager and the Avaya one-X™ G11

PSTN Gateway. During compliance testing, Avaya IP telephones successfully obtained

power and transferred data over standard Ethernet cables from the ProCurve 5406zl Switch.

Information in these Application Notes has been obtained through DevConnect compliance

testing and additional technical discussions. Testing was conducted via the DevConnect

Program at the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

1. Introduction Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows both power and data to be simultaneously carried over standard Ethernet cables. PoE-enabled Ethernet switches can supply power directly to Ethernet devices, thereby simplifying installation and removing the need for separate power supplies for those devices. The IEEE 802.

3. Configure Avaya Communication Manager • • No ProCurve 5406zl Switch specific configuration is required on Avaya Communication Manager or Avaya one-X G11 PSTN Gateway to support this solution. Consult the Avaya Communication Manager configuration manual [1] for additional configuration details. 4. Configure the ProCurve 5406zl Switch The configuration covered here is specific to PoE and does not include configuration of other features available in the ProCurve 5406zl Switch.

5.2. Test Results All Power over Ethernet test cases completed successfully. The ProCurve 5406zl Switch successfully provided inline power to all of the Avaya IP telephones and Avaya one-X G11 PSTN Gateway. Table 1 lists the IEEE 802.3af class and measured power of the Avaya IP telephones and Avaya one-X G11 PSTN Gateway when connected to the ProCurve 5406zl Switch. The power listed as measured by the ProCurve 5406zl Switch is for PDs under idle conditions.

• Verify that Power Enable is Yes at the port level by entering the command show powermanagement brief. A detailed explanation of each field is in Appendix A. ProCurve Switch 5406zl# show power-management brief • Connect the Avaya PD to a PoE enabled port on the ProCurve 5406zl Switch and verify that the PD powers on successfully. If the PD does not power on, enter the command show power-management where is the name of the port on the ProCurve 5406zl Switch.

• Verify that Avaya 1600/4600/9600 Series IP Telephones have successfully registered with Avaya Communication Manager. Use the list registered-ip-stations command on Avaya Communication Manager. 7. Troubleshooting • If the PD does not power up, check the inline power settings on the ProCurve 5406zl Switch. Enter show power-management brief and verify: o Power Enable is Yes o Detection Status is Delivering • If the PD does not power up, check the inline power configuration on the ProCurve 5406zl Switch.
