HP Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide

Planning and Implementation for the HP 2610-PoE Switches
Planning the PoE Configuration
for the PoE functionality. If either voltage fails, the entire power supply shuts
down disconnecting all switch and PoE connections. Therefore it is important
to provide redundancy for each isolated voltage.
HP 2610-24-PPoE Switch Configurations
The tables in the example configurations contain entries that show the PoE
power available when the HP 2610-24-PPoE Switch is used alone. When used
with the HP 600 RPS/EPS or HP 610 EPS unit, PoE power is available to the
PoE ports should the internal PoE power supply fail. Table entries show the
PoE power available when the HP 600 RPS/EPS or HP 610 EPS alone provides
PoE power.
Figure 5-1. Example of an HP 600 RPS/EPS Powering One HP 2610-24-PPoE
Switch
■ A single HP 2610-24-PPoE Switch with a dedicated HP 600 RPS/EPS unit has
fully redundant PoE power for the 12 PoE ports at 7.5 W per port or 12 ports
at 15.4 W per port. Only 12 ports can be PoE powered.
