Configuring PoE (J-Web Procedure)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports supply electric power over the same ports that are used to connect network devices to EX Series switches. These ports allow you to plug in devices that require both network connectivity and electric power, such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and some IP cameras. Using the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Configuration page in the J-Web interface, you can modify the settings of all interfaces that are PoE-enabled.
This topic includes:
Configuring PoE on EX2200, EX2200-C, EX3200, EX3300, EX4200 Switches
To configure PoE:
- Select Configure > Power over Ethernet.
The page displays a list of all PoE-capable interfaces except uplink ports. Specific operational details about an interface are displayed in the Details section of the page. The details include the PoE Operational Status and Port class.
Note: After you make changes to the configuration in this page, you must commit the changes for them to take effect. To commit all changes to the active configuration, select Commit Options > Commit. See Using the Commit Options to Commit Configuration Changes for details about all commit options.

Table 1: PoE Edit Settings
Field | Description | Your Action |
|---|---|---|
Enable PoE | Specifies that PoE is enabled on the interface. | Select this option to enable PoE or PoE+ on the interface. |
Priority | Lists the power priority (Low or High) configured on the interface enabled for PoE. | Set the priority as High or Low. |
Maximum Power | Specifies the maximum PoE wattage available to provision the active PoE interface on the switch. | Select a value in watts. If no value is specified, the default is 15.4 for PoE interfaces and 30.0 for PoE+ interfaces. |
Table 2: System Settings
Field | Description | Your Action |
|---|---|---|
PoE Management | Specifies the power management mode. The options are: static and class. Note: When the power management mode is set to class, the maximum power value is overridden by the maximum power value of the class of powered device that is connected to the switch on the PoE port. | By default the power management mode is class. Select static to change the power management mode. |
Guard Band (watts) | Specifies the amount of power reserved for power spikes from the switch PoE power budget. | Enter a value to set the guard band value in watts. The default value is 0. |

Table 3: Edit PoE Settings
Field | Description | Your Action |
|---|---|---|
Enable PoE | Specifies that PoE is enabled on the interface. | Select this option to enable PoE or PoE+ on the interface. |
Type | Specifies whether the interface is PoE or PoE+. | Select an option from the list. |
Priority | Lists the power priority (Low or High) configured on the interface enabled for PoE. | Set the priority as High or Low. |
Maximum Power | Specifies the maximum PoE wattage available to provision active PoE ports on the switch. | Select a value in watts. If no value is specified, the default is 15.4 for PoE interfaces and 30.0 for PoE+ interfaces. |
Table 4: FPC PoE Settings
Field | Description | Your Action |
|---|---|---|
FPC | Specifies the FPC number. | Select a value from the list. |
PoE Management | Specifies the power management mode. The options are: static and class. Note: When the power management mode is set to class, the maximum power value is overridden by the maximum power value for the interface that is connected to the switch on the PoE port. | By default the power management mode is class. Select static to change the power management mode. |
Guard Band (watts) | Specifies the band to control power availability on the switch. | Enter a value to set the guard band value in watts. The default value is 0. |
Maximum Power | Specifies the maximum PoE wattage available to provision active PoE ports on the FPC. For example, if you specify 1000W, the PoE controller is limited to a power budget of 1000W to distribute to the PoE ports. | Select a value in watts. |
