Enabling Poe For A Poe Interface - HP 5500 EI Series Configuration Manual

PoE profile enables you to apply a set of PoE settings to multiple interfaces instead of configuring the
interfaces one by one.
When configuring, removing, or deleting a PoE parameter on a PoE interface, you can use either method
but not both.
Before configuring PoE, make sure the PoE power supply and PSE are operating correctly so you
•
can configure PoE and the configured PoE settings can take effect.
If the PoE power supply is turned off while the device is starting up, the PoE configuration in the PoE
•
profile might become invalid.

Enabling PoE for a PoE interface
The system does not supply power to or reserve power for the PDs connected to a PoE interface unless the
PoE interface is enabled with the PoE function.
You can enable PoE for a PoE interface if the PoE interface does not result in PoE power overload.
Otherwise, whether you can enable PoE for the PoE interface depends on whether the PoE interface is
enabled with the PoE power management function. For more information about PoE interface power
management, see
If the PoE interface is not enabled with the PoE power management function, you cannot enable PoE
•
for the PoE interface.
If the PoE interface is enabled with the PoE power management function, you can enable PoE for the
•
PoE interface. Whether the PDs can be powered depends on other factors, such as the power
supply priority of the PoE interface.
