Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenarios

Before providing power for the PD connected to an interface, ensure that the PoE function has been enabled on the interface. If the PoE function is not enabled on the interface, run the poe enable command to enable the PoE function on the interface.

In automatic mode, PD power-on and power-off on interfaces are determined by the PoE power and interface power priority. When the PoE power is sufficient, the device does not power off the PD connected to any interface. To stop providing power for a PD, run the undo poe enable command on the interface to which the PD is connected.

Precautions

The device only supports PoE power supply on downlink interfaces and does not support PoE power supply on uplink interfaces.
