Manage uninterrupted PoE
If you enable the uninterrupted PoE feature, the switch continues to provide PoE power
to any attached PDs while the switch is rebooting, even if it is rebooting after a regular
firmware update. By default, the uninterrupted PoE feature is disabled, so that the switch
stops providing PoE power while it is rebooting.
Even with the feature enabled, the switch temporarily stops providing PoE in the following
situations:
•
The switch reboots because you reset it to factory default settings.
•
The switch reboots because you installed updated firmware that changed
configuration options, the chip driver, or the default PoE settings.
