Setting Port Priority Levels; Setting The Capacitor Detection Method - Nokia Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6360 Hardware User's Manual

Power over Ethernet Budget
To increase or decrease the total power available to a slot, use the
Since you are setting the power allowance for an individual slot, you must specify a chassis/slot value in
the command line. For example, the syntax
-> lanpower slot 3/1 maxpower 400
reduces the power allowance of chassis 3, slot 1 to 400 watts. This value is now the maximum amount of
power the slot can use to power all attached devices (until the value is modified by the user).
Note. Changing the maximum power available to a slot or port does not reserve or immediately allocate
that power. These settings are only used for configuring a maximum amount of power that may be used,
any unused power is still available and remains a part of the overall PoE budget.

Setting Port Priority Levels

As not all Powered Devices (PDs) connected to the switch have the same priority within a network setting,
the OmniSwitch allows the administrator to specify priority levels on a port-by-port basis. Priority levels
include low, high, and critical. The default priority level for a port is low.
Low. This default value is used for port(s) that have low-priority devices attached. In the event of a
•
power management issue, inline power to low-priority is interrupted first (i.e., before critical and high-
priority).
High. This value is used for port(s) that have important, but not mission-critical, devices attached. If
•
other ports in the chassis have been configured as critical, inline power to high-priority is given second
priority.
Critical. This value is used for port(s) that have mission-critical devices attached, and therefore require
•
top (i.e., critical) priority. In the event of a power management issue, inline power to critical is main-
tained as long as possible.
To change the priority level for a particular port, use the
allows you to set priority levels on a port-by-port basis, be sure to specify chassis/slot/port information in
the command line. For example, the syntax
-> lanpower port 1/1/6 priority critical
changes the priority value of port 6 to the highest priority level of critical. Now that the default value has
been reconfigured, this port should be reserved for those PDs that are mission critical for network opera-
tions.

Setting the Capacitor Detection Method

By default, the capacitor detection method is disabled. To enable it, use the
tion. For example:
-> lanpower slot 3/1 capacitor-detection enable
Note. The capacitive detection method should only be enabled to support legacy IP phones. This feature
is not compatible with IEEE specifications. Please contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales engineer or Customer
Support representative to find out which Alcatel-Lucent IP phones models need capacitive
detection enabled.
