Configuring PoE

 

 

 

 

 

Power Management Mode—Select how the switch prioritizes the power that it provides to multiple ports:

-Static with Port Priority—Static with priority power management. This algorithm pre-allocates power based on the configured power limit and the priority of the port.

-Dynamic with Port Priority—Dynamic with priority power management. This algorithm supplies power to devices as long as the consumption is within the configured limit and priority. There is no pre- allocation of power.

In both modes, a port with a higher port priority is given preference when the switch supplies power to multiple ports. If two or more port priorities are equal, the port with the lower port number is given preference.

Reset Mode—Select Enable to enable the switch initialize all PoE ports state machines.

STEP 3 Click Apply. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.

NOTE This page displays the following data for PoE power on the switch:

Power: The current power status. If On, the switch is currently providing power through PoE to a connected device. If Off, the switch is not providing power through PoE to any connected devices.

Maximum Available Power—The total power in watts that the switch is capable of making available to all PoE-capable ports.

Threshold Power—The cutoff power value above which no additional PDs are powered. This threshold is calculated based on the Power Trap Threshold setting.

Allocated Power—The total power in watts that the switch is actually providing to PoE ports.

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
