Power Over Ethernet (PoE) functionality is supported on certain 1430 models, known as power source
equipment (PSE) ports which provide power to connected devices. The devices receiving power through PoE
are referred to as powered devices (PDs). The switch automatically detects the presence of a PD on a PSE
port, and the switch uses physical layer classification to assign initial power to the PD. The PoE software
supports Usage mode to allocate power. The default Usage mode reclaims unused power for use by new PD
connections or increased power demand by existing powered PDs.
When more power is requested than is available on the switch, the switch provides power to the lowest port
number first. The 1430 Class 4 PoE switches support the IEEE 802.3at
tm
standards, providing 30W of power
for Class 4 PD connections while maintaining backwards compatibility with IEEE 802.3af
tm
standards
providing 15.4W of power to Class 3 PD connections. All PoE Class 4 switch ports are capable of delivering
30W per PSE port up to the maximum power supply budget.

Ethernet Alliance PoE Certified
Certified Aruba PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE) has been verified for IEEE 802.3™ PoE interoperability
by passing the Ethernet Alliance (Gen 1 or Gen 2) PoE Certified program test plan, minimizing
interoperability issues between PoE products.
The Ethernet Alliance PoE Certification Program provides thorough testing of PoE devices for
interoperability with IEEE 802.3™ PoE standard devices. Certified products will be easily recognizable by the
logos below, which also identify the amount of power available or required. User experience will be
enhanced by minimizing confusion between standards-based PoE from proprietary powering solutions.
