Power center overview

NOTE

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is only supported on IronWare PoE-capable products.

PoE products enable you to safely pass electrical power, along with data, on Ethernet cabling. The power comes from a power supply within a PoE-capable networking device (such as an Ethernet switch). For more information about PoE, refer to the IronWare Ethernet switch Configuration Guide.

You can use Power Center to perform the following functions on PoE-capable products:

Determine how much poweris consumed by devices (phones and so on) connected to the product.

Create power thresholds.

Monitor power thresholds.

Power up ports.

Power down ports.

Determine PoE capacity.

Determine PoE allocation.
