Use the data in the following table to display and manage PoE for a switch unit.
Variable | Value | |
---|---|---|
Power(watts) | Displays the total power (in watts) available to the switch. | |
OperStatus |
Displays the power state of the switch:
|
|
Consumption Power(watts) |
Displays the power (in watts) being used by the switch. | |
UsageThreshold% |
Lets you set a percentage of the total PoE power usage at which the switch sends a warning trap message. If the PoE power usage exceeds the threshold and SNMP traps are appropriately configured, the switch sends the pethMainPowerUsageOnNotification trap. If the power consumption exceeds and then falls below the threshold, the switch sends the pethMainPowerUsageOffNotification trap.
|
|
Notification ControlEnable |
Lets you enable or disable sending traps if the switch power usage exceeds the percentage set in the UsageThreshold field. | |
PowerDevice DetectType |
Lets you set the power detection type that the switch uses to detect a request for power from a device connected to all ports on the switch: • 802.3af
|
|
PowerPresent | Specifies the currently used power source. Available power sources are AC and DC.
A value of acOnly indicates that the only power supply is AC. |
