1 Getting Started and Instal-
lation

Getting Started
Preparing for the Installation
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise products must be installed by a professional installer. It is the
responsibility of the installer to comply with product specifications and all applicable local and
national codes.

When preparing for installation, unpack the product as close as possible to the location where it
will be installed.

Caution: An operating Omniswitch may be hot to the touch.

Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than the room’s ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration
should be given to the maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra). When operating at 74°C
ambient temperature the switch must be installed in a suitable closed rack or cabinet enclosure.

Reduced Air Flow

Installation of the equipment should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised. Refer to “Providing Air Flow and Minimum
Recommended Clearances” on page 1-3 for more information.

Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved
due to uneven loading.

OmniSwitch 6865 Hardware Users Guide October 2022 page 1-1

Getting Started Getting Started and Installation

Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the
effect that overloading of circuits could have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.

Reliable Earthing
Reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch (e.g., use of power strips).

Additional Electrical Requirements

The switches have the following general electrical requirements:
• AC and DC power supply support
• Each supplied AC power cord is 2 meters (approx. 6.5 feet). Do not use extension cords.
• Each switch requires one grounded electrical outlet per power supply.

Redundant AC Power. It is recommended that each power supply resides on a separate circuit.
With redundant power, if a single circuit fails, the switch’s remaining power supply (on separate
circuits) can remain operational.

Electrical Surge Warning

In order to help protect equipment against electrical surges please take note of the following
recommendations and guidelines:
1. Earth grounding of all devices is fundamental to ensure long term reliability.
• All electrical equipment must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician.
• Every power supply that is connected to building power should be earth grounded.
• Earth grounding for the power cable, should be verified to be 0.01 ohm or less.
• Each switch should be grounded to same earth ground as the power supply.
• Each powered device, such as an AP or camera, should be connected to earth ground.
• Each surge suppression device should be connected to earth ground.

2. Shielded cables (STP) offer some minimal level of additional protection over unshielded Ethernet cables
(UTP) but the use of a surge protector is still recommended.
• It is suggested to use STP Cat5e or better for 1Gbps Ethernet switches for any outdoor
application or applications where Ethernet cables come in close proximity to alternating
current conductors.
• Always install cables according to manufacturer requirements.

3. For any connections where integrity of the cabling within a building ground is questionable (i.e outdoor
connections), copper Ethernet ports must be connected with an appropriate surge protection device, inline,
between the PSE and PD per the manufacturer’s recommendations for connection and grounding.

4. Caution should be taken for any cable connected to any outdoor device, not only on the device grounding,
but to ensure that any outdoor device cables that could carry surge currents, do not pass those surge currents
to upstream Ethernet switches.

page 1-2 OmniSwitch 6865 Hardware Users Guide October 2022

Getting Started and Installation Getting Started

Caution - Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 6a cables can store large amounts of static electricity due
to the dielectric properties of their construction materials in addition, this build up of electricity could lead
to a Cable Discharge Event (CDE). A CDE can occur due to the differential in charges on the cable and the
equipment it’s being connected to. It is recommended that installers momentarily ground all copper
Ethernet cables (especially in new cable runs) to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to
the port.

Note: Failure to follow the above recommendations could result in voiding the warranty of the
affected ALE product.

Providing Air Flow and Minimum Recommended Clearances

• Switches operating in an environment at or above 65°C require air flow.
• Switches operating in an environment below 65°C do not require airflow.
• When mounting the chassis on a flat service (e.g., table) be sure that the top of the switch,
with the larger heat sinks, is facing out and away from the mounting surface.
• Be sure to refer to minimum recommended clearances provided in the table below.

Minimum Recommended Clearances

Top (Rack mount) 0.875 inches (1/2 RU) for switches operating in an ambient
temperature below 65°C;

1.75 inches (1 RU) for switches operating in an ambient temperature

at or above 65°C. (See important air flow requirements outlined
above.)
Top (Table mount) 0.875 inches; for table mounting, be sure to install the mounting

Once the switch has completely booted, connect to the console port and log in to the switch’s
Command Line Interface (CLI) and configure basic information. For more information, refer to
“The First Login Session” on page 1-30.

The First Login Session

To complete the setup process, follow these steps during the first login session:
• Log in to the switch
• Unlock session types
• Change the login password
• Set the date and time
• Set optional system information
• Save changes

Important. Connect to the switch via the console port before initiating the first login session.

Logging In to the Switch

At the login and password prompts, use the switch’s default settings:

Login: admin
Password: switch

Note. A user account includes a login name, password, and user privileges. Privileges determine
whether the user has read or write access to the switch and which commands the user is autho-
rized to execute. For detailed information on setting up and modifying user accounts, refer to the
OmniSwitch Switch Management Guide.

The default welcome banner—which includes information such as the current software version
and system date—displays, followed by the CLI command prompt:

Unlocking Session Types

Remote session types (Telnet, FTP, WebView, SNMP) are restricted until they are manually
unlocked by
the user.

The CLI command used to unlock session types is aaa authentication.

Note. Unlocking session types grants switch access to non-local sessions (e.g., Telnet). As a
result, anyone with the correct user login and password will have remote access to the switch.

For more information on switch security, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Switch Management
Guide.

Unlocking All Session Types

To unlock all session types, enter the following command syntax at the CLI prompt:

-> aaa authentication default local

Unlocking Specific Session Types

You can also unlock specific session types (console, telnet, ftp, http, snmp, ssh). For example, to
unlock Telnet sessions, enter the following command:

-> aaa authentication telnet local

Refer to the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide for complete aaa authentication command syntax
options.

Changing the Login Password

1. Be sure that you have logged into the switch as user type admin (see “Logging In to the Switch” on
page 1-30).
2. Type password at the prompt and press Enter.
3. Enter the new password at the prompt.

OmniSwitch 6865 Hardware Users Guide October 2022 page 1-31

Connections and Cabling Getting Started and Installation

Note. Be sure to remember or securely record all new passwords; overriding configured pass-
words on an OmniSwitch is restricted.

4. You will be prompted to re-enter the password. Enter the password a second time.

New password settings are automatically saved in real time to the local user database; the user is
not required to enter an additional command in order to save the password information. Also note
that new password information is retained following a reboot. All subsequent login sessions,
including those through the console port, will require the new password to access the switch.

For detailed information on managing login information, including user names and passwords,
refer to the OmniSwitch Switch Management Guide.

Setting the System Time Zone

The switch’s default time zone is UTC. If you require a time zone that is specific to your region,

DC Power Supply Connection

Connecting a DC Cable Harness to the Chassis Power Supply
When plugging in the cable, insert the connector end of the cable harness into the power supply
connector until it clicks firmly into place. This is an indication that the connector is secure and
properly seated. Secure the screws.

Connecting a DC Cable Harness to the DC Power Source

The other end of the cable harness is bare. Users must assemble and connect this end to the DC
power source or to a cable coming from the power source. In addition to following the important
guidelines listed below, be sure to consult manufacturer specifications for the DC power source
before starting.
• Connect the power supply to a reliably grounded -24V or -48V DC SELV source.
• Use common DC return connections for the DC power supplies. The DC return terminal
conductor should be connected to the equipment frame.
• The branch circuit overcurrent protection must be rated 15A.
• Use two 12 AWG copper conductors.
• A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably approved and rated shall be
incorporated in the field wiring.

CAUTION: Installation of a DC cable that is more than 3 meters in length is subject to LOCAL
CODES and AUTHORITIES. Please contact your electrician and the Local AHJ (Authority Hav-
ing Jurisdiction) to follow the Electrical Codes before use of proper installation methods.

Connecting a DC Power Source

The DC power supply contains a power connector with three (3) square slots for connecting the
positive, negative, and ground wires from a DC power source.

Side Screws for Connector Removal

OmniSwitch DC Power Supply Connector

A clamp inside each slot keeps the power wire tightly in place during operation. The DC power
supply connector has side screws that can be used to remove the connector if required.

Installing DC Power Source Wire Leads

These instructions describe how to connect your 3-wire DC power source to the power connector
on your DC power supply. A small flat-tip screwdriver and a wire stripper are required for this
procedure.
1. Prepare the three (3) wires—12 gauge—that will plug into the power supply. First make sure they are not
plugged into the DC power source. Next, use a wire stripper to carefully strip between .24 and .30 inches
(6-7.5 mm) off the end of each wire, removing the outer insulation to expose the copper core.
2. Open the clamp for the ground wire slot by inserting a small flat-tip screwdriver into the top of the appro-
priate circular hole. Loosen the screw so that the clamp for the ground wire opens.
Loosen Screw.

+ -

Clamp inside square hole will open

when screw is loosened in top cir-
cular hole.
Opening Connector for Ground Wire

3. Insert the ground wire lead into the slot. The lead you insert must match the lead attached to the DC power
source. Push the wire in far enough such that it reaches the back wall of the connector, about a half inch
inside.

Warning. You must plug DC wire leads into the correct holes in the DC power connector. Use the labels
above the DC power connector as a guide to positive, negative, and ground connections. If the wire leads
are plugged into the wrong holes, the power supply will not work properly and damage to the unit may
result.

Attaching the Ground Wire

4. Tighten the clamp by tightening the screw above the slot into which you inserted the wire lead. The wire
lead should be securely attached inside the connector. You should be able to pull on the wire and not dis-
lodge it.

Warning. For both -24V and -48V input voltages, the positive (+) wire of the sourcing equipment, such as
a battery or rectifier, must be connected to the positive (+) terminal of the DC power supply and the nega-
tive (-) wire of the sourcing equipment must be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the DC power
supply. This rule always applies to both -24V, and -48V input voltages, regardless of the polarity signs
shown on the power supply specification labels such as: -48V, +24V, or -24V."

5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for the remaining positive and negative wire leads.

Dying Gasp
If the switch loses all power it will maintain power long enough to send a Dying Gasp message
before completely shutting down. An SNMP trap, Syslog message and Link OAM PDUs will be
generated.

page 2-12 OmniSwitch 6865 Hardware Users Guide October 2022

Chassis and Power Dying Gasp

Scenarios
A Dying Gasp event will be generated in the following scenarios:
• Primary power supply failure (if only power supply present)
• Primary power supply failure and then backup power supply failure
• Backup power supply failure and then primary power supply failure

Connect each power supply to a separate independent power source to avoid simultaneous
power failures.

SNMP Trap
As soon as the power failure is detected, an SNMP trap is sent to the first three configured SNMP
stations. The trap includes the following information:
• Slot number
• Power supply type (primary/backup)
• Time of the failure
Use the snmp station command and refer to the SNMP Configuration chapter for information on
configuring an SNMP station.

Syslog Message
As soon as the power failure is detected, the following Syslog message is sent to the first three
configured Syslog servers, along with the time of the failure:

Dying Gasp Power Failure Event Occurred

Use the swlog output socket command to add a Syslog station. Refer to the Using Switch Log-
ging
Configuration chapter in the Network Configuration Guide for information on configuring a Sys-
log server.

Link OAM PDU

As soon as the power failure is detected four 802.3ah OAM Information PDUs are sent to ports
for which link OAM is enabled and the LinkOAM port status is operational. The PDU will have
the Dying Gasp bit set.

Use the efm-oam and efm-oam port propagate-events commands to enable the generation of an
802.3ah OAM Information PDU upon a dying gasp event:

-> efm-oam admin-state enable

-> efm-oam port 1/1/23-34 admin-state enable
-> efm-oam port 1/1/23-24 propagate-events dying-gasp enable

It may not be possible to generate PDUs on all ports enabled for link OAM. Dying gasp packets
will be sent in the following order based on port priority:

1. Uplink ports
2. All other ports

Note: The maximum number ports which can send out a dying gasp PDU simultaneously is lim-
ited to ten ports minus the number of syslog/snmp servers configured. For example, if two snmp
servers and one syslog server are configured, the maximum number of ports which can send out a
dying gasp PDU is seven.

Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Important: It’s recommended that PoE-enabled switches with attached IP telephones have opera-
tional power supply redundancy at all times for 911 emergency requirements. In addition, both the
switch and the power supply should be plugged into an Uninterruptible Power Source (UPS).

Determining the Power Available for Powered Devices (PDs)

Viewing Power Supply Status
To view the type and status for installed power supplies, use the show powersupply command.

Viewing PoE Status

To view current PoE status and settings, uncluding the amount of PoE power available for
incoming powered devices, use the show lanpower slot command.

PoE Class Detection

Powered devices can be classified into different classes as shown in the table below. Class
detection allows for automatic maximum power adjustment based on the power class detected.
This will prevent the switch from delivering more than the maximum power allowed based on a
device’s class.

page 3-2 OmniSwitch 6865 Hardware Users Guide October 2022

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)

During class detection, the switch will allocate the maximum amount of power allowed based on
the class detected. Once powered, if the device uses less than the maximum, the remaining power
will be made available for other devices.

Class Usage Current (mA) Power Range Class Description

Classification (Watts)

0 Default 0-4 0.44-30.00 Unimplemented

1 Optional 9-12 0.44-3.84 Very Low Power

2 Optional 17-20 3.84-6.49 Low Power

3 Optional 26-30 6.49-12.95 Mid Power

4 Optional 36-44 12.95-30.00 High Power

Although class-detection is disabled by default, power is still provided to incoming PDs (if
available in the power budget). However, to strictly enforce class detection as specified in the
802.3at standard, class detection must be enabled using the lanpower slot class-detection
command.

Enabling class detection will reset all PoE ports.

PoE Operational Status

Enabling PoE
By default, PoE is administratively enabled in the switch’s system software. However, in order to
physically activate PoE, you must issue the lanpower slot service command on a slot-by-slot
basis before any connected devices will receive inline power.

To activate power to PoE-capable in a switch, enter the corresponding slot number only. For
example:

-> lanpower slot 2/1 service start

If power to a particular port has been administratively disconnected, you can reactivate power to
the port using the lanpower port admin-state command. For example:

-> lanpower port 1/1/1-16 admin-state enable

Note. You cannot use the lanpower port admin-state command to initially activate PoE on a
port. This syntax is intended only to reactivate power to those that have been disconnected via the
lanpower slot service command. To initially activate PoE, you must use the lanpower slot ser-
vice command as described above.

OmniSwitch 6865 Hardware Users Guide October 2022 page 3-3

Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

Disabling PoE
To disable PoE on a particular port, use the lanpower port admin-state command. For example:

-> lanpower port 1/1/12 admin-state disable

To disable PoE for all PoE-capable ports in a slot, use the lanpower slot service command. For
example:

-> lanpower slot 1/1 service stop

Fast PoE
Fast PoE can be used to provide PoE power within a few seconds after powering on the chassis.
Prior to this feature PoE power was not provided until the chassis had completed boot-up. With
Fast PoE the default state of the PoE subsystem is set to enabled in the FPGA image and the PoE
configuration is stored in the controller EEPROM. This allows the chassis to immediately provide
PoE power to any connected devices immediately after being powered on without waiting for the
chassis to complete the boot-up process.
• Fast PoE requires the proper FPGA/CPLD version, refer to the release notes for additional
information.
• Factory default switches that don't have any PoE configuration must have an initial PoE con-
figuration completed.
• The PoE configuration cannot be modified until the switch is up and the PoE software module
is completely initialized.
• LLDP-based PoE devices will not function as expected until the switch has completed the
boot-up process and the switch is in a state to respond to LLDP requests.

To enable Fast PoE, use the lanpower slot fpoe command. For example:

-> lanpower slot 1/1 fpoe enable

Perpetual PoE
Perpetual PoE allows the switch to provide uninterrupted power to connected power devices (PD)
even when the switch is rebooting or reloading, such as on a soft reset.
• Perpetual PoE requires the proper FPGA/CPLD version, refer to the release notes for addi-
tional information.
• The power to the PD devices will be interrupted if the PoE controller (MCU) firmware itself is
being upgraded.

To enable Perpetual PoE, use the lanpower slot ppoe command. For example:

-> lanpower slot 1/1 ppoe enable

Configuring the Total Power Available to a Port

By default, each port is authorized by the system software to use up to a maximum amount of
milliwatts to power any attached device.

page 3-4 OmniSwitch 6865 Hardware Users Guide October 2022

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)

This value can be increased or decreased based on the allowed ranges.

Increasing the total power available to an individual port may provide a more demanding
powered device with additional power required for operation. Decreasing the total power
available to a port helps to preserve inline power and assists in the overall management of the
switch’s power budget.

To increase or decrease the total power available to an individual port, use the lanpower power
command.

Note. Since the power allowance is being set for an individual port, chassis/slot/port values must
be specified.

Configuring the Total Power Available to a Slot

Like the maximum port power allowance, the system software also provides a maximum slot-
wide power allowance. By default, each slot is authorized by the system software to use a number
of watts to power all devices connected to its ports depending on which power supply is used.

As with the maximum port power allowance, the user can either increase or decrease this value
based on the allowed ranges.

Note. Decreasing the slot-wide power could cause lower priority ports to lose power if the new
value is less than the total PoE power currently being consumed.

To increase or decrease the total power available to a slot, use the lanpower slot maxpower
command.

Since you are setting the power allowance for an individual slot, you must specify a chassis/slot
value in
the command line. For example, the syntax

-> lanpower slot 1/1 maxpower 150

reduces the power allowance of chassis 1, slot 1 to 150 watts. This value is now the maximum
amount of
power the slot can use to power all attached devices (until the value is modified by the user).

Note. Changing the maximum power available to a slot or port does not reserve or immediately
allocate that power. These settings are only used for configuring a maximum amount of power
that may be used, any unused power is still available and remains a part of the overall PoE budget.

OmniSwitch 6865 Hardware Users Guide October 2022 page 3-5

Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

Setting Timers and Other User-Defined PoE Power Rules

The lanpower power-rule command allows user to set additional rules for PoE power (e.g.,
setting PoE to turn on or off on specific dates or at specific times). Refer to the OmniSwitch AOS
CLI Command Reference Guide for more information.

Setting Port Priority Levels

As not all Powered Devices (PDs) connected to the switch have the same priority within a
network setting, the OmniSwitch allows the administrator to specify priority levels on a port-by-
port basis. Priority levels include low, high, and critical.

The default priority level for a port is low.

• Low. This default value is used for port(s) that have low-priority devices attached. In the
event of a power management issue, inline power to low-priority is interrupted first (i.e.,
before critical and high priority).
• High. This value is used for port(s) that have important, but not mission-critical, devices
attached. If other ports in the chassis have been configured as critical, inline power to high-
priority is given second priority.
• Critical. This value is used for port(s) that have mission-critical devices attached, and
therefore require top (i.e., critical) priority. In the event of a power management issue, inline
power to critical is maintained as long as possible.

To change the priority level for a particular port, use the lanpower priority command. Since the
switch
allows you to set priority levels on a port-by-port basis, be sure to specify chassis/slot/port
information in the command line. For example, the syntax

-> lanpower port 1/1/6 priority critical

changes the priority value of port 6 to the highest priority level of critical. Now that the default
value has been reconfigured, this port should be reserved for those PDs that are mission critical
for network operations.

Setting the Capacitor Detection Method

By default, the capacitor detection method is disabled. To enable it, use the lanpower capacitor-
detection command. For example:

-> lanpower slot 1/1 capacitor-detection enable

Note. The capacitive detection method should only be enabled to support legacy IP phones. This
feature is not compatible with IEEE specifications. Please contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales engi-
neer or Customer Support representative to find out which Alcatel-Lucent IP phones models need
capacitive detection enabled.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Understanding Priority Disconnect

Priority disconnect is used by the system software in determining whether an incoming PD will
be granted or denied power when there are too few watts remaining in the PoE power budget for
an additional device. For example, if there are only 2 watts available in the current PoE power
budget and a user plugs a 3.5W powered device into a PoE port, the system software must
determine whether the device will be powered on.

Based on priority disconnect rules, in some cases one or more existing devices may be powered
down in order to accommodate the incoming device. In other cases, the incoming device will be
denied power.

Priority disconnect rules involve the port priority status of an incoming device (i.e., low, high, and
critical), as well as the port’s physical port number. Understanding priority disconnect rules is
especially helpful in avoiding power budget deficits and the unintentional shutdown of mission-
critical
devices when PDs are being added in tight power budget conditions.

Reminder. Priority disconnect applies only when there is inadequate power

remaining in the power budget for an incoming device.

For information on setting the priority disconnect status, refer to the section below. For
information on setting the port priority status (a separate function from priority disconnect), refer
to “Setting Port Priority Levels” on page 3-6.

Setting Priority Disconnect Status

By default, priority disconnect is enabled in the switch’s system software. For information on
changing the priority disconnect status, refer to the information below.

Disabling Priority Disconnect

When priority disconnect is disabled and there is inadequate power in the budget for an additional
device, power will be denied to any incoming PD, regardless of its port priority status (i.e., low,
high, and critical) or physical port number.

To disable priority disconnect, use the lanpower slot priority-disconnect command. For example:

-> lanpower slot 1/1 priority-disconnect disable

Enabling Priority Disconnect

To enable priority disconnect, use the lanpower slot priority-disconnect command. For example:

-> lanpower slot 1/1 priority-disconnect enable

OmniSwitch 6865 Hardware Users Guide October 2022 page 3-7

Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

Priority Disconnect is Enabled; Same Priority Level on All Devices

Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is
inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device.

When a PD is being connected to a port with the same priority level as all other in the slot, the
physical
port number is used to determine whether the incoming PD will be granted or denied power. Due
to the
support of different PoE standards and PoE hardware on each platform the internal port priority is
different for each platform. The following tables should be used to determine PoE priority:

PoE Physical Port Priority

1 (Highest) -> 28 (Lowest)

Priority Disconnect is Enabled; Incoming PD Port has Highest Priority Level

Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is

inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device.

When a PD is being connected to a port with a higher priority level than all other in the slot, the
incoming PD will automatically be granted power over the other devices, regardless of its
physical port number.

In order to avoid a power budget deficit, another port in the slot is disconnected. In determining
which
port to power off, the system software first selects the port with the lowest configured priority
level. For example, if a critical priority device is being added to a slot in which five existing
devices are attached to high priority and one device is attached to a low priority port, the low
priority port is automatically disconnected, regardless of its physical port number.

If all existing devices are attached to with the same lower priority level, the system software
disconnects the port with both the lowest priority level. For example, if a critical priority device is
being added to a slot in which six existing devices are attached at high priority, the high priority
port with the highest physical port number is automatically disconnected.

Priority Disconnect is Enabled; Incoming PD Port has Lowest Priority Level

Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is

inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device.

When a PD is being connected to a port with a lower priority level than all other in the slot, the
incoming PD will be denied power, regardless of its physical port number. Devices connected to
other higher-priority will continue operating without interruption.

page 3-8 OmniSwitch 6865 Hardware Users Guide October 2022

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Priority Disconnect is Disabled

Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is
inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device.

When priority disconnect is disabled, power will be denied to any incoming PD, regardless of its
port
priority status (i.e., low, high, and critical) or physical port number.

Understanding Guard Band

Guard Band functionality is implemented when the switch has to provide power to a newly
connected PD. This functionality is more relevant on switches that have a lower amount of total
PoE power available for the switch but a higher default maximum PoE power available to some
ports.

• If the amount of power remaining is less than the port's configured maximum PoE power
value or the PD's class maximum power then the switch will not power up the PD.
• This applies even if the newly connected PD actually requires less than the maximum power
available for the port.

For example, assume the following:

• There is 50W of PoE power remaining on the switch.
• A newly connected PD only requires 4W of power.
• The port's maximum PoE power value is 75W.

In this example the newly connected PD will not be powered on since the port's maximum PoE
power value is greater than the PoE power remaining on the switch.

To allow the PD to be powered, the port's maximum PoE value can be configured to be less than
the power remaining by issuing the following command to set the port's maximum PoE power to
10W:
-> lanpower power 1/1/1 power 10000

Using the previous example:

• There is 50W of PoE power remaining on the switch.
• A newly connected PD only requires 4W of power.
• The port's maximum PoE power value is now 10W.

The newly connected PD will be powered on since the port's maximum PoE power value is now
less than the PoE power remaining on the switch.

The examples assume the new PD has the same or lower priority as the existing PDs, otherwise
priority disconnect will override.

The Guard Band functionality does not apply to PDs that are already powered up. However,
priority disconnect will apply if there's not enough power to power all PDs in the case of the
power budget being reduced, such as the removal of a power supply.
