The following table lists the defaults for PoE configuration:

Understanding and Modifying the Default Settings

The sections below provide information on each of the key components within the Power over Ethernet
software. They include information on PoE-related CLI commands. For detailed information on PoE-
related commands, refer to the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.

Setting the PoE Operational Status

Enabling PoE

By default, Power over Ethernet is administratively enabled in the switch’s system software. However, in
order to physically activate PoE, you must issue the

lanpower start

command on a slot-by-slot basis

before any connected PDs will receive inline power.

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

-> lanpower start 3

Note. You cannot activate PoE for more than one switch in a stack at a time. Also, an OmniSwitch 6600-
P24 must have the corresponding slot number.

If power to a particular port has been disconnected via the

lanpower stop

command, you can reactivate

power to the port by specifying both the slot and port in the command line. For example:

-> lanpower start 3/11

Note. You cannot use the slot/port syntax to initially activate PoE on a port. This syntax is intended only
to reactivate power to those ports that have been disconnected via the

lanpower stop

command. To

initially activate PoE, you must use the lanpower start slot syntax only, as described above.
