PoE

Context

Whether switches support PoE depends on the hardware. Non-PoE switches cannot be changed to PoE switches through software upgrades. A switch that meets any of the following conditions is a PoE switch:
  • The device name contains PWR or PWH.
  • The switch is released in V200R013C02 or later versions and provides new downlink interface types UM, P or U.

Procedure

  1. Choose Configuration > Advanced Services > PoE.
  2. Perform global settings and click Apply, the S5720I-28X-PWH-SI-AC interface is shown in Figure 1, the S5720I-6X-PWH-SI-AC, S5720I-10X-PWH-SI-AC, S5720I-12X-PWH-SI-DC, 5720-16X-PWH-LI-AC, S5720-28X-PWH-LI-AC, and the PoE devices of S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-S, S5730-SI, S5730S-EI, and S6720-SI interfaces are shown in Figure 2, and the other models are shown in Figure 3.
