1. Introduction Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a feature offered on several Ethernet switches. It allows the switch to supply power to a network device within the same CAT-5 cable that carries the Ethernet signaling. This simplifies network installation and powering design, removing the need for a separate power supply for each IP telephone in the network. IEEE 802.3af defines a standard protocol to be used by powering and powered devices.

Examples of model numbers are “4612D01A-003” (Gen-1) and 4612D02A-003 (Gen-2). The powering tests included verification of the following after the product was connected to the switch: • • • Successful boot operation For IP telephones, successful registration with an Avaya Media Server/Gateway and completion of a test call For wireless LAN access points, successful registration of a wireless laptop and use of the administration web interface for the access point from the laptop.

• • set port powerinline priority – used to set the priority of the port to be powered to Low, High or Critical. The default is Low. set powerinline budget – used to force the supervisor module to recalculate and to reapply the PoE budget to the I/O modules. This command may reset the switch. Steps 1. • Description Enable PoE on port 6/1. C460-2(configure)# set port powerinline 6/1 enable Load detection process on port 6/1 is enabled. 2. • Set port 6/1 inline power priority to high.

Steps 2. • • Description Display PoE budget distribution. The PoE module M4648ML-T-2G-PWR is located in slot 6. In this example, the PoE budget is 620W for slot 6, of which 20W is currently being used.
