Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Operation for the Series 2600-PWR Switches
Terminology
■ Enable or disable PoE operation on individual ports. (In the default
configuration, the switch enables PoE on all 10/100-TX ports, subject
to PoE priority in the case of oversubscription of PoE resources.)
■ Monitor PoE status and performance on the switch

This chapter introduces general PoE operation, PoE configuration and mon­
itoring commands, and Event Log messages related to PoE operation on the
HP ProCurve Switch 2626-PWR and 2650-PWR devices. The following two
manuals provide further information:
■ For information on installing the HP ProCurve Switch 2626-PWR and
2650-PWR, refer to the Installation and Reference Guide provided
with the switch.
■ To help you plan and implement a PoE system in your network, refer
to the PoE Planning and Implementation Guide, which is available
from either of the following sources:
• The Documentation CD-ROM (version 3.5 or greater) shipped with
your Switch Series 2600-PWR device
• The HP ProCurve website at http://www.hp.com/go/hpprocurve. (Click

Term Use in this Manual
active PoE port A PoE-enabled port connected to a PD requesting power.
priority class Refers to the type of power prioritization where the switch uses Low (the
default), High, and Critical priority assignments to determine which
groups of ports will receive power. Note that power priority rules apply
only if PoE provisioning on the switch becomes oversubscribed.
EPS External Power Supply; for example, an HP 600 RPS/EPS or an HP
ProCurve 610 EPS. An EPS device provides power to provision PoE ports
on a switch. See also “RPS”, below.
