Faceplate

If the switch is a standalone switch, the faceplate of the switch is displayed. For a switch stack, faceplate of all the switches part of the stack is displayed. From the faceplate, click on the port to drill down and view port-level information. On the switch faceplate, hover over a PoE port to view the following details:

• Port
• Name
• Type
• Class
• Priority

From the Context drop-down list, select the context:

• POE-STATUS—Displays the sate of each port. The state can be: Uplink, Drawing, Enabled, Disabled, or Alert.
• POE-CLASS—Power class of the PoE port. The class can be: Class0, Class1, Class2, Class3, Class4, or Disabled.
• POE PRIORITY—PoE priority configured on the port. The priority can be: Critical, High, or Low.

The following animation shows how to set the context on the faceplate:

Ports PoE

The Ports PoE table displays the following details:

• Port—Port number.
• Name—Name of the port.

• Pre-STD Detect—Displays whether PoE for pre-802.3af-standard powered devices is enabled on the switch: On or Off.
• Alloc Actual—Power actually being used on the port.
• Alloc Configured—The maximum amount of power allocated for the port.
• PLC Class—Power class of the PoE port.
• PLC Type—Physical layer classification type.

PoE Consumption

The PoE Consumption section displays a trend chart for the PoE power drawn from the Switch in watts. Hover your mouse over the trend chart to view the PoE power drawn at a particular time. For a stack, select the switch from the drop-down list to view the PoE consumption for the specific device.

The following animation shows how to view PoE consumption for a switch stack:

Viewing PoE Port-Level Information

Use one of the following options to navigate to the PoE port and view port-level information:

• In the switch faceplate, click on the port number.
• In the Ports PoE table, click the port number.

The following animation shows how to navigate to the PoE port level:

The port-level information page consists of the following tabs:

  • Over Current Count—Number of times a powered device connected to the port attempted to draw more power than was allocated to the port.
  • MPS Absent Count—Number of times the powered device has no longer requested power from the port MPS is Maintenance Power Signature.
  • Power Denied Count—Number of power requests from the port that were denied because sufficient power was unavailable.
  • Short Count—Number of times the switch provided insufficient current to the powered device connected to the port.
• PoE Consumption—Displays the trend chart for PoE consumption and power available for the duration specified in the time range filter.
