Verifying the Status of PoE Interfaces

Purpose

Verify that the PoE interfaces on the device are enabled and set to the desired priority settings. (The device used here is SRX240 Services Gateway).

Action

To display real-time status for all PoE interfaces, enter show poe interface from the configuration mode in the CLI :

For all PoE interfaces:

user@host> show poe interface

Interface Admin status Oper status Max power Priority Power consumption Class
 ge-0/0/0 Enabled      Searching   15.4W     Low      0.0W                0
 ge-0/0/1 Enabled      Powered-up  15.4W     High     6.6W                0
 ge-0/0/2 Disabled     Disabled    15.4W     Low      0.0W                0
 ge-0/0/3 Disabled     Disabled    15.4W     Low      0.0W                0

For specific PoE interfaces:

user@host> show poe interface ge-0/0/1

PoE interface status:
PoE interface                :  ge-0/0/1
Administrative status        : Enabled
Operational status           : Powered-up
Power limit on the interface : 15.4 W
Priority                     : High
Power consumed               : 6.6 W
Class of power device        :   0

Meaning

The show poe interface command lists PoE interfaces configured on the SRX Series device, with their status, priority, power consumption, and class. This output shows that the device has four PoE interfaces of which two are enabled with default values. One port has a device connected which is drawing power within expected limits.
