Resetting PoE parameters
Resetting PoE parameters
NOTE
Resetting PoE parameters applies to the FastIron X Series PoE chassis.
You can override or reset PoE port parameters including power priority, power class, and maximum
power level. To do so, you must specify each PoE parameter in the CLI command line. This section
provides some CLI examples.
Example 1—Changing a PoE port power priority from high to low
To change a PoE port power priority from high to low (the default value) and keep the current
maximum configured power level of 3000, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade# configure terminal
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
Brocade(config-if-e1000-1/1)# inline power priority 3 power-limit 3000
You must specify both the inline power priority and the maximum power level (power-limit
command), even though you are keeping the current configured maximum power level at 3000. If
you do not specify the maximum power level, the device will apply the default value. Also, you must
specify the inline power priority before specifying the power limit.
Example 2—Changing a port power class from 2 to 3
To change a port power class from 2 (7 watts maximum) to 3 (15.4 watts maximum) and keep the
current configured power priority of 2, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade#configure terminal
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
Brocade(config-if-e1000-1/1)# inline power priority 2 power-by-class 3
You must specify both the power class and the inline power priority, even though you are not
changing the power priority. If you do not specify the power priority, the device will apply the default
value of 3 (low priority). Also, you must specify the inline power priority before specifying the power
class.
Displaying Power over Ethernet information
This section lists the CLI commands for viewing PoE information.
Displaying PoE operational status
The show inline power command displays operational information about Power over Ethernet.
You can view the PoE operational status for the entire device, for a specific PoE module only, or for
a specific interface only. In addition, you can use the show inline power detail command to display
in-depth information about PoE power supplies.
The following shows an example of the show inline power display output on a Brocade PoE device.
