1014 CHAPTER 78: POE CONFIGURATION
Configuring PoE
Interfaces Through a PoE
Configuration File
A PoE configuration file is used to configure at the same time multiple PoE
interfaces with the same attributes to simplify operations. This configuration
method is a supplement to the common command line configuration.
Commands in a PoE configuration file are called configurations.
Follow these steps to configure PoE interfaces through a PoE configuration file:
Configure the PoE mode for
the PoE interface
poe mode signal Optional
By default, the PoE mode is
signal (power over signal
cables).
Configure the PoE priority for
the PoE interface
poe priority { critical | high |
low }
Optional
By default, the priority is low.
Configure a description for
the PD connected to the PoE
interface
poe pd-description string Required
By default, no description is
configured.

Enable PoE for the PoE interface poe enable Required
By default, PoE is
disabled on a PoE
interface.
Configure the maximum power for the
PoE interface
poe max-power

Optional
By default, the maximum
power on the PoE
interface is 15,400
milliwatts.
Configure the PoE mode for the PoE
interface
poe mode signal Optional
By default, the PoE mode
is signal (power over
signal cables).
Configure the PoE priority for the PoE
interface
poe priority { critical |
high | low }
Optional
By default, the priority is
low.
