Description
PoE Power Status
The current status of the switch PoE functionality. Possible values are:
Delivering—At least one port on the switch is delivering power to a connected device.
Idle—The PoE functionality is operational but no ports are delivering power.
Faulty—The PoE functionality is not operational.
Total Power (Watts)
The total power in watts that can be provided by the switch.
Power Consumption
(Watts)
The amount of power in watts currently being consumed by connected PoE devices.
Power Management Mode
Select the method by which the PoE controller determines supplied power. Possible values
are:
Static—The power allocated to each port is reserved and is not available to any other
port, even when less than the maximum allocation is being used.
Dynamic—The power allocated to each port is not reserved. Unused power may be allo-
cated from one port to another as needed, up to the power limit defined for each port.
This is the default selection.
Note
: In either mode, High Power Mode must be enabled on the port when PoE+ functionality
is required. See
