The following table lists the defaults for PoE configuration:
Understanding and Modifying the Default Settings
The sections below provide information on each of the key components within the Power over Ethernet
software. They include information on PoE-related CLI commands. For detailed information on PoE-
related commands, refer to the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Setting the PoE Operational Status
Enabling PoE
By default, Power over Ethernet is administratively enabled in the switch’s system software. However, in
order to physically activate PoE, you must issue the
lanpower start command on a slot-by-slot basis
before any connected PDs will receive inline power.
To activate power to PoE-capable ports in a switch, enter the corresponding slot number only. For exam-
ple:
-> lanpower start 3
Note. You cannot activate PoE for more than one switch in a stack at a time. Also, an OmniSwitch 6600-
P24 must have the corresponding slot number.
If power to a particular port has been disconnected via the lanpower stop command, you can reactivate
power to the port by specifying both the slot and port in the command line. For example:
-> lanpower start 3/11
Note. You cannot use the slot/port syntax to initially activate PoE on a port. This syntax is intended only
to reactivate power to those ports that have been disconnected via the
lanpower stop command. To
initially activate PoE, you must use the lanpower start slot syntax only, as described above.
