Verifying PoE Configuration and Status (CLI Procedure)

You can verify the Power over Ethernet (PoE) configuration and status on an EX Series switch.

This topic describes how to verify:

PoE Controller Configuration and Status

Purpose

Verify the PoE controller configuration and status, such as the PoE power budget, total PoE power consumption, power management mode, and the supported PoE standard.

Action

Enter the following command:

user@switch> show poe controller

Example output for an EX2200 switch:

Controller  Maximum   Power         Guard    Management  Status   Lldp
index       power     consumption   band                          Priority
   0        405.00W   130.00W         19W    Class       AT_MODE  Disabled

Example output for an EX8200 switch:

Controller  Maximum   Power         Guard    Management  Status      Lldp
index       power     consumption   band                             Priority
   3        540.00W   435.25W         0W    Static      AT/AF COMBO  Disabled
   4        915.00W   627.01W        15W    Class       AT/AF COMBO  Disabled

Meaning

  • For the EX2200 switch—The switch has a PoE power budget of 405 W, of which 130 W were being used by the PoE ports at the time the command was executed. The Guard band field shows that 19 W is reserved out of the PoE power budget to protect against spikes in power demand. The power management mode is class. The PoE ports on the switch support PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at).
  • For the EX8200 switch—Line card 3 has a PoE power budget of 540 W, of which 435.25 W were being used by the PoE ports on the line card at the time the command was executed. The management mode for line card 3 is static and the line card has a mix of PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) ports.

    Line card 4 has a PoE power budget of 915 W, of which 627.01 W were being used by the PoE ports on the line card at the time the command was executed. The Guard band field shows that 15 W is reserved out of the PoE power budget to protect against spikes in power demand. The management mode for line card 4 is class and the line card has a mix of PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) ports.

PoE Interface Configuration and Status

To view configuration and status for a single PoE interface, enter:

user@switch> show poe interface ge-0/0/3
PoE interface status:
PoE interface                :  ge-0/0/3
Administrative status        : Enabled
Operational status           :  ON
Power limit on the interface : 7.0W
Priority                     : High
Power consumed               : 3.3W
Class of power device        :   2
PoE Mode                     :   802.3at

Meaning

The command output shows the status and configuration of interfaces. For example, the interface ge-0/0/3 is administratively enabled. Its operational status is ON; that is, the interface is currently delivering power to a connected powered device. The maximum power allocated to the interface is 7.0 W. The interface has a high power priority. At the time the command was executed, the powered device was consuming 3.3 W. The IEEE 802.3af class of the powered device is class 2. If the PoE power management mode is class, the class of the powered device determines the maximum power allocated to the interface, which is 7 W in the case of class 2 devices.

The PoE Mode field indicates that the interface supports IEEE 802.3at.

PoE SNMP Trap Generation Status

Purpose

Verify the status of the notification-control option, which determines whether or not PoE SNMP traps are enabled.

Action

Enter the following command:

FPC slot             Notification-control-status
    0                    OFF

Meaning

PoE SNMP traps are not enabled.
