Currently, the network devices are deployed flexibly; therefore, the cabling of power supply is complicated. To simplify cabling, you can configure the PoE function on the switch.
By default, the PoE function is enabled on all interfaces.
Procedure
Query power supply information on interfaces.
Choose System Management > PoE > Interface Parameter Settings in the navigation tree to open the Interface Parameter Settings page.
Select an interface type from the drop-down list box.
Enter the interface number, for example, 0/0/1 (stack ID/sub-card ID/port number).
Click Query to display all matching records.
Set power parameters on an interface.
Choose System Management > PoE > Interface Parameter Settings in the navigation tree to open the Interface Parameter Settings page.
Select a record and click Configure. The Configure Power Parameters on Interface page is displayed.
Table 1 describes the parameters on the Configure Power Parameters on Interface page.

Parameter
Description
Interface Name
Indicates the name of an interface. The interface name cannot be modified. You can select multiple interfaces each time.
NOTE:
If only one interface is selected, the configuration of the interface is displayed on the Configure Power Parameters on Interface page. If multiple interfaces are selected, the default settings of the interfaces are displayed.
Enable PoE on Interface
Indicates whether to enable the PoE function on the interface. The options are Enable and Disable.
By default, the PoE function is enabled. The PoE parameters take effect only after the PoE function
is enabled.
Max Output Power
Indicates the maximum output power of an interface.
Power Priority
Indicates the power priority of an interface. The options are Low, High, and Critical.
By default, the power priority of a PoE interface is low.
Manual Power Supply
Indicates the manual power supply mode. The options are power on and power off. The default setting is power on.
You can manually power on and power off the PD connected to an interface.
NOTE:
Before powering on or off
a PD, ensure that:
The PD is connected to an interface.
The PoE function is enabled on the interface.
If the PD on an interface has been powered on, an error message is displayed after you power on the PD again.
If the PD on an interface has been powered off, an error message is displayed after you power off the PD again.
