Planning and Implementation for the HP 3500-PoE yl Switches
Planning the PoE or PoE+ Configuration
PoE/PoE+ Allocation Using LLDP Information
A PoE port can automatically configure certain PoE+ link partner devices if
the device supports advertising of its PoE needs.
By enabling PoE LLDP detection, available information about the power
requirements of the PD may be used by the switch to configure the power
allocation. The initial configuration for PoE ports may change if more accurate
configuration information is provided by way of LLDP.
For more configuration information, refer to the Management and
Configuration Guide for your switch at www.hp.com/networking/support. Auto
search on “3500”, select your switch model from the list, and click Display
selected. Then click on the links that have “Manuals” in them to get to the web
page that lists the available manuals.
Planning the PoE or PoE+ Configuration
This section assists you in building a PoE or PoE+ configuration. Using the
following examples you can plan, build, and connect PoE or PoE+ devices
quickly and easily.
There are eight configurations for the HP 3500 yl Switches. Four
configurations are for standard PoE and four configurations are for PoE+:
■ HP 3500-24G-PoE yl Switch
■ HP 3500-24G-PoE yl Switch connecting an external power supply
■ HP 3500-48G-PoE yl Switch
■ HP 3500-48G-PoE yl Switch connecting an external power supply
■ HP 3500-24G-PoE+ yl Switch
■ HP 3500-24G-PoE+ yl Switch connecting an external power supply
■ HP 3500-48G-PoE+ yl Switch
■ HP 3500-48G-PoE+ yl Switch connecting an external power supply
Each example shows a complete configuration. A table shows the PoE or
PoE+ power available to connected PoE or PoE+ devices when using just the
switch or when connecting to an external power supply.
Once you have selected your specific configuration and the PoE or PoE+
power provided, you then add up the maximum amount of power each device
requires (use maximum power in watts, usually found on a product’s data
