Alcatel-Lucent 6600 Monitoring Power over Ethernet via the CLI, Priority Disconnect is Disabled

Installing and Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Monitoring Power over Ethernet via the CLI

Priority Disconnect is Disabled

Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are only applicable when there is inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device.

When priority disconnect is disabled, power will be denied to any incoming PD, regardless of its port priority status (i.e., low, high, and critical) or physical port number (i.e., 1–24).

Monitoring Power over Ethernet via the CLI

To monitor current PoE statistics and settings, use the show lanpower command. The command output displays a list of all current PoE-capable ports, along with the following information for each port:

•Maximum power allocated to the port, in milliwatts

•Actual power used by the port

•Current port status

•Power priority status

•Power on/off status

Aggregate slot and chassis management information also displays. This information includes:

•Maximum watts allocated to the corresponding slot

•Amount of power budget remaining that can be allocated for PoE modules

•Total amount of power remaining that can be allocated for additional switch functions
