Global Parameter Settings

You can set global PoE parameters.

Context

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.

Procedure

  1. Choose System Management > PoE > Global Parameter Settings in the navigation tree to open the Global Parameter Settings page.

    Table 1 describes the parameters on the Global Parameter Settings page.

    Parameter

    Description

    Power Supply Management Mode

    Indicates the mode of power supply management:
    • Auto

      When providing power at almost full capacity, the switch provides power first for the PD connected to the interface of the highest priority.

    • Manual

      When providing power at almost full capacity, the switch keeps the original power supply way, even if a new PD is connected to an interface with high priority.

    By default, the power supply is in automatic mode.

    Max Output Power

    Indicates the maximum output power of an interface.
    NOTE:

    The configured maximum PoE power of the entire switch must be greater than the total power allocated to the boards.

  2. Set the parameters.
  3. Click Apply to complete the configuration.
