560 CHAPTER 27: POE PROFILE CONFIGURATION
Various PoE features can be configured within one PoE Profile. The following holds
while using the apply poe-profile command to apply a PoE Profile to a group of
ports:
■The display current-configuration command can be used to indicate that the
PoE Profile is being used properly, so long as one PoE feature in the PoE Profile is in
proper use for a given port.
■If one or more features of the PoE Profile are not used properly for a given port,
the terminal will show clearly which feature on what port is not used properly.
■PoE Profile configuration is a global configuration, and applies synchronously in
the XRN system.
■Combination of Unit creates a new Fabric. In the newly created Fabric, the PoE
Profile configuration of the Unit with the smallest Unit ID number will become the
PoE Profile configuration for the Fabric currently in use.
■Split of Fabric results in many new Fabrics. In each newly created Fabric, the PoE
Profile configuration of each Unit remains the same as it was before the split.

Network requirements
Ethernent1/0/1 through thernet1/0/10 ports of the Switch 5500 are classified as type
A group users, who have the following requirements:
■All ports in use can enable PoE function;
■Use data cable to supply power;
■The PoE priority for Ethernet1/0/1 through Ethernet1/0/5 ports is Critical, whereas
The PoE priority for Ethernet1/0/6 through Ethernet1/0/10 is High.
■The maximum power for Ethernet1/0/1 through Ethernet1/0/5 ports is 3000mW,
whereas the maximum power for Ethernet1/0/6 through Ethernet1/0/10 is
15,400mW.
Based on the above requirements, two PoE Profiles are made for type A group users.
■Use PoE Profile1 for Ethernet1/0/1 through Ethernet1/0/5 ports;
■Use PoE Profile2 for Ethernet1/0/6 through Ethernet1/0/10 ports.
