27 PO E P ROFILE C ONFIGURATIONIntroduction toPoE Profile On a large-sized network or a network with mobile users, to help networkadministrators to monitor the PoE features of the switch, 3Com Switch 5500 Familyhave provided PoE Profile features.Features of PoE Profile:■ Various PoE Profiles can be created. PoE policy configurations applicable todifferent user groups are stored in the corresponding PoE Profiles. These PoEProfiles can be applied to the ports used by the corresponding user groups.■ When users connect a PD device to the port that currently has PoE Profile stored,the switch will automatically apply the PoE configuration defined in thecorresponding port’s PoE Profile to the PD device.PoE ProfileConfigurationThis section contains information on PoE configurationPoE ProfileConfiguration TasksTable 615 describes PoE Profile configuration tasks.Table 615 PoE Profile ConfigurationOperation Command DescriptionEnter system view system-view —Create PoE Profile poe-profile profilename Required.Enter PoE Profile viewwhile creating PoEProfile.Configurethe relevantfeatures inPoE ProfileEnable powerover Ethernetpoe enable Required.Configure PoEmode forEthernet portspoe mode { signal | spare } Optional.By default, PoE mode isset to be signal.Configure the PoEpriority forEthernet portspoe priority { critical | high | low}Optional.By default, PoE priority isset to low.Configuremaximum powerfor Ethernet portspoe max-power max-power Optional.By default, maximumpower is set to be 15,400mW.Quit system view quit —Under system view, apply theexisting PoE Profile configurationto the specified Ethernet portapply poe-profile profilenameinterface interface-typeinterface-number [ to interface-typeinterface-number ]Required.Users can decidewhether to configure thesettings under systemview or port view.interface interface-typeinterface-numberEnter Ethernet port view andapply the existing PoE Profile toportsapply poe-profile profilename
