Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology provides the ability to detect attached powered devices
(PDs) and deliver 48 VDC to the PD via existing CAT 5 cabling. The NetVanta 6355 PoE units are
fully compliant with the power delivery options called out in the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet
specification. By default, the PoE interfaces discover and provide power to IEEE-compliant PDs.
To disable power detection and supply, use the
power inline never
command in the command
line interface (CLI). To disable power detection and supply from the Web-based graphical user
interface (GUI), select the
Ports
page. Then select a single port from the list (e.g.,
eth 0/1
). This
will bring up the port detail page for
eth 0/1
. On this page, there is a check box to enable power
detection.

Two configuration methods are available for your NetVanta 6355 PoE unit:
•
GUI
•
AOS CLI
The GUI lets you configure the main unit settings and provides online guidance and explanations
for each setting. However, using the AOS CLI may be necessary for more advanced
configurations.

THE
GUI
You can access the GUI from any Web browser on your network by following these steps:
1.
Connect the unit to your PC using the Ethernet (
ETH 0/0
) port on the rear of the unit.
2.
Set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP), or change your PC to a fixed IP address of
10.10.10.2
. If you cannot change the
PC’s IP address, you will need to change the unit’s IP address using the CLI. (Refer to the
next two sections for instructions.)
3.
Enter the unit’s IP address in your browser address line. The default IP address is
10.10.10.1
.
4.
You will then be prompted for the user name and password (the default settings are
admin
and
password
).
5.
The initial GUI screen appears.
