Displaying Power over Ethernet information
Displaying detailed information about PoE power supplies
The show inline power detail command displays detailed operational information about the PoE
power supplies in Brocade PoE switches. The command output differs on FCX POE+ switches
compared to FastIron X Series switches.
Fault/Error If applicable, this is the fault or error that occurred on the port. This value can be
one of the following:
• critical temperature – The PoE chip temperature limit rose above the safe
operating level, thereby powering down the port.
• detection failed - discharged capacitor – The port failed capacitor detection
(legacy PD detection) because of a discharged capacitor. This can occur
when connecting a non-PD on the port.
• detection failed - out of range capacitor – The port failed capacitor detection
(legacy PD detection) because of an out-of-range capacitor value. This can
occur when connecting a non-PD on the port.
• internal h/w fault – A hardware problem has hindered port operation.
• lack of power – The port has shut down due to lack of power.
• main supply voltage high – The voltage was higher than the maximum
voltage limit, thereby tripping the port.
• main supply voltage low – The voltage was lower than the minimum voltage
limit, thereby tripping the port.
• overload state – The PD consumes more power than the maximum limit
configured on the port, based on the default configuration, user
configuration, or CDP configuration.
• over temperature – The port temperature rose above the temperature limit,
thereby powering down the port.
• PD DC fault – A succession of underload and overload states, or a PD
DC/DC fault, caused the port to shutdown.
• short circuit – A short circuit was detected on the port delivering power.
• underload state – The PD consumes less power than the minimum limit
specified in the 802.3af standard.
• voltage applied from ext src – The port failed capacitor detection (legacy PD
detection) because the voltage applied to the port was from an external
source.
Total The total power in milliwatts being consumed by all PDs connected to the
Interface module, and the total power in milliwatts allocated to all PDs connected
to the Interface module.
Grand Total The total number of current, actual milliwatts being consumed by all PDs
connected to the FastIron PoE device, and the total number of milliwatts
allocated to all PDs connected to the FastIron PoE device.
