PoE Overview

Introduction to PoE

Power over Ethernet (PoE)-enabled devices use twisted pairs through electrical ports to supply power to the remote powered devices (PD) in the network and implement power supply and data transmission simultaneously.

Advantages of PoE

l          Reliability: The centralized power supply provides backup convenience, unified management, and safety.

l          Easy connection: Network terminals only require an Ethernet cable, but no external power supply.

l          Standard: PoE conforms to the 802.3af standard and uses a globally uniform power interfaces;

l          Bright application prospect: PoE can be applied to IP phones, wireless access points (APs), chargers for portable devices, card readers, network cameras, and data collection system.

PoE components

PoE consists of three components: power sourcing equipment (PSE), PD, and power interface (PI).

l          PSE: PSE is comprised of the power and the PSE functional module. It can implement PD detection, PD power information collection, PoE, power supply monitoring, and power-off for devices.

l          PD: PDs receive power from the PSE. PDs include standard PDs and nonstandard PDs. Standard PDs conform to the 802.3af standard, including IP phones, Wireless APs, network cameras and so on.

l          PI: PIs are RJ45 interfaces which connect PSE/PDs to network cables.

PoE Features Supported by S3600

PoE-enabled S3600 series Ethernet switches include:

l          S3600-28P-PWR-SI

l          S3600-28P-PWR-EI

l          S3600-52P-PWR-SI

l          S3600-52P-PWR-EI

A PoE-enabled S3600 switch has the following features:

l          As the PSE, it supports the IEEE802.3af standard. It can also supply power to the PDs that do not support the 802.3af standard.

l          It can deliver data and current simultaneously through data wires (1,2,3,and 6) of category-3/5 twisted pairs.

l          Through the fixed 24/48 Ethernet electrical ports, it can supply power to up to 24/48 remote Ethernet switches with a maximum distance of 100 m (328 feet).

l          Each Ethernet electrical port can supply at most a power of 15,400 mW to a PD.

l          When AC power input is adopted for the switch, the maximum total power that can be provided is 300 W. The switch can determine whether to supply power to the next remote PD it detects depending on its available power.

l           When DC power input is adopted for the switch, it is capable of supplying full power to all of the 24/48 ports, that is, 15,400 mW for each port, and the total power is 369.6 W/739.2 W.

l          The PSE processing software on the switch can be upgraded online.

l          The switch provides statistics about power supplying on each port and the whole equipment, which you can query through the display command.

l          The switch provides two modes (auto and manual) to manage the power feeding to ports in the case of PSE power overload.

l          The switch provides over-temperature protection mechanism. Using this mechanism, the switch disables the PoE feature on all ports when its internal temperature exceeds 65°C (149°F) for self-protection, and restores the PoE feature on all its ports when the temperature drops below 60°C (140°F).

l          The switch supports the PoE profile feature, that is, different PoE policies can be set for different user groups. These PoE policies are each saved in the corresponding PoE profile and applied to ports of the user groups.

 

l          When you use the PoE-enabled S3600 switch to supply power, the PDs need no external power supply.

l          If a remote PD has an external power supply, the PoE-enabled S3600 switch and the external power supply will backup each other for the PD.

l          Only the 100 Mbps Ethernet electrical ports of the PoE-enabled S3600 switch support the PoE feature.

Setting PoE Management Mode and PoE Priority of a Port

When a switch is close to its full load in supplying power, you can adjust the power supply of the switch through the cooperation of the PoE management mode and the port PoE priority settings. S3600 series switches support two PoE management modes, auto and manual. The auto mode is adopted by default.

l          auto: When the switch is close to its full load in supplying power, it will first supply power to the PDs that are connected to the ports with critical priority, and then supply power to the PDs that are connected to the ports with high priority. For example: Port A has the priority of critical. When the switch PoE is close to its full load and a new PD is now added to port A, the switch will power down the PD connected to the port with the lowest priority and turn to supply power to this new PD. If more than one port has the same lowest priority, the switch will power down the PD connected to the port with larger port number.

l          manual: When the switch is close to its full load in supplying power, it will not make change to its original power supply status based on its priority when a new PD is added. For example: Port A has the priority critical. When the switch PoE is close to its full load and a new PD is now added to port A, the switch just gives a prompt that a new PD is added and will not supply power to this new PD.

After the PoE feature is enabled on the port, perform the following configuration to set the PoE management mode and PoE priority of a port.

Follow these steps to set the PoE management mode and PoE priority of a port:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

poe power-management { auto | manual }

Required

auto by default.

Enter Ethernet port view

interface interface-type interface-number

Se the PoE priority of a port

poe priority { critical | high | low }

Required

low by default.

 

Setting the PoE Mode on a Port

PoE mode of a port falls into two types, signal mode and spare mode.

l          Signal mode: DC power is carried over the data pairs (1,2,3,and 6) of category-3/5 twisted pairs.

l          Spare mode: DC power is carried over the spare pairs (4,5,7,and 8) of category-3/5 twisted pairs.

Currently, S3600 series Ethernet switches do not support the spare mode.

After the PoE feature is enabled on the port, perform the following configuration to set the PoE mode on a port.

Follow these steps to set the PoE mode on a port:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Configuring the PD Compatibility Detection Function

After the PD compatibility detection function is enabled, the switch can detect the PDs that do not conform to the 802.3af standard and supply power to them.

After the PoE feature is enabled, perform the following configuration to enable the PD compatibility detection function.

Follow these steps to configure the PD compatibility detection function:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enable the PD compatibility detection function

poe legacy enable

Required

Disabled by default.

 

Configuring PoE Over-Temperature Protection on the Switch

If this function is enabled, the switch disables the PoE feature on all ports when its internal temperature exceeds 65°C (149°F) for self-protection, and restores the PoE feature settings on all its ports when the temperature drops below 60°C (140°F).

Follow these steps to configure PoE over-temperature protection on the switch:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enable PoE over-temperature protection on the switch

poe temperature-protection enable

Optional

Enabled by default.

 

l          When the internal temperature of the switch decreases from X (X>65°C, or X>149°F) to Y (60°C≤Y<65°C, or 140°F≤Y<149°F), the switch still keeps the PoE function disabled on all the ports.

l          When the internal temperature of the switch increases from X (X<60°C, or X<140°F) to Y (60°C<Y≤65°C, or 140°F<Y≤149°F), the switch still keeps the PoE function enabled on all the ports.

 

Upgrading the PSE Processing Software Online

The online upgrading of PSE processing software can update the processing software or repair the software if it is damaged. Before performing the following configuration, download the PSE processing software to the Flash of the switch.

Follow these steps to upgrade PSE processing software online:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Upgrade the PSE processing software online

poe update { refresh | full } filename

Required

The specified PSE processing software is a file with the extension .s19.

 

l          In the case that the PSE processing software is damaged (that is, no PoE command can be executed successfully), use the full update mode to upgrade and thus restore the software.

l          The refresh update mode is to upgrade the original processing software in the PSE through refreshing the software, while the full update mode is to delete the original processing software in PSE completely and then reload the software.

l          Generally, the refresh update mode is used to upgrade the PSE processing software.

l          When the online upgrading procedure is interrupted for some unexpected reason (for example, the device restarts due to some errors), if the upgrade in full mode fails after restart, you must upgrade in full mode after power-off and restart of the device, and then restart the device manually. In this way, the former PoE configuration is restored.

Introduction to PoE Profile

On a large-sized network or a network with mobile users, to help network administrators to monitor the PoE features of the switch, S3600 series Ethernet switches provide the PoE profile features. A PoE profile is a set of PoE configurations, including multiple PoE features.

Features of PoE profile:

l          Various PoE profiles can be created. PoE policy configurations applicable to different user groups are stored in the corresponding PoE profiles. These PoE profiles can be applied to the ports used by the corresponding user groups.

l          When users connect a PD to a PoE-profile-enabled port, the PoE configurations in the PoE profile will be enabled on the port.

 PoE Profile Configuration

Configuring PoE Profile

Follow these steps to configure PoE profile:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Create a PoE profile and enter PoE profile view

poe-profile profilename

Required

If the PoE file is created, you will enter PoE profile view directly through the command.

Configure the relevant features in PoE profile

Required

Disabled by default.

Configure PoE mode for Ethernet ports

poe mode { signal | spare }

Optional

signal by default.

Configure the PoE priority for Ethernet ports

poe priority { critical | high | low }

Optional

low by default.

Configure the maximum power for Ethernet ports

poe max-power max-power

Optional

15,400 mW by default.

Quit system view

quit

Apply the existing PoE profile to the specified Ethernet port

In system view

apply poe-profile profile-name interface interface-type interface-number [ to interface-type interface-number ]

Use either approach.

In Ethernet port view

Enter Ethernet port view

interface interface-type interface-number

Apply the existing PoE profile to the port

apply poe-profile profile-name

 

Note the following during the configuration:

1)        When the apply poe-profile command is used to apply a PoE profile to a port, some PoE features in the PoE profile can be applied successfully while some cannot. PoE profiles are applied to S3600 series Ethernet switches according to the following rules:

l          When the apply poe-profile command is used to apply a PoE profile to a port, the PoE profile is applied successfully only if one PoE feature in the PoE profile is applied properly. When the display current-configuration command is used for query, it is displayed that the PoE profile is applied properly to the port.

l          If one or more features in the PoE profile are not applied properly on a port, the switch will prompt explicitly which PoE features in the PoE profile are not applied properly on which ports.

l          The display current-configuration command can be used to query which PoE profile is applied to a port. However, the command cannot be used to query which PoE features in a PoE profiles are applied successfully.

2)        PoE profile configuration is a global configuration, and applies synchronously in the Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) system.

3)        Combination of Unit creates a new Fabric. In the newly created Fabric, the PoE profile configuration of the Unit with the smallest Unit ID number will become the PoE profile configuration for the Fabric currently in use.

4)        Split of Fabric results in many new Fabrics. In each newly created Fabric, the PoE profile configuration of each Unit remains the same as it was before the split.
