Enabling 802.3Bt; Poe Operational Status - Nokia Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6360 Hardware User's Manual

Power over Ethernet Budget

Although class-detection is disabled by default, the switch still provides power to incoming PDs (if avail-

able in the power budget). However, to strictly enforce class detection it must be enabled using the

lanpower slot class-detection

Enabling class detection will reset all PoE ports on the chassis.

The OmniSwitch supports IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at on 2-pairs, IEEE 802.3at on 4 pairs with support

for classes 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. Support for 60W, 75W and 95W per port is provided supporting IEEE 802.3at

on 4-pairs and enabling PoH using the

The OmniSwitch also supports IEEE 802.3bt with an additional two types and 4 classes listed in the table

above. IEEE 802.3bt can be enabled with the

Enabling PoE

By default, Power over Ethernet is administratively enabled in the switch's system software. However, in

order to physically activate PoE, you must issue the

basis before any connected PDs will receive inline power.

To activate power to PoE-capable in a switch, enter the corresponding slot number only. For example:

-> lanpower slot 2/1 service start

If power to a particular port has been administratively disconnected, you can reactivate power to the port

using the

lanpower port admin-state

-> lanpower port 2/1/1-24 admin-state enable

Note. You cannot use the

syntax is intended only to reactivate power to those that have been disconnected via the

service

command. To initially activate PoE, you must use the

described above.

Disabling PoE

To disable PoE on a particular port, use the

-> lanpower port 1/1/12 admin-state disable

To disable PoE for all PoE-capable ports in a slot, use the

-> lanpower slot 1/1 service stop

Fast PoE

Fast PoE can be used to provide PoE power within a few seconds after powering on the chassis. Prior to

this feature PoE power was not provided until the chassis had completed boot-up. With Fast PoE the

default state of the PoE subsystem is set to enabled in the FPGA image and the PoE configuration is stored

in the controller EEPROM. This allows the chassis to immediately provide PoE power to any connected

devices immediately after being powered on without waiting for the chassis to complete the boot-up

process.
