Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Operation

PoE Event Log Messages

PoE Event Log Messages

PoE operation generates these Event Log messages. You can also configure the switch to send these messages to a configured debug destination (terminal device or Syslog server).

I1MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS chassis:

Message header, with severity, date, system time, and system module type. For more information on Event Log operation, refer to the “Troubleshooting” appendix in the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.

Ext Power Supply connected, supplying < actual-power> W of

<avail-power > W max.

The switch detected an EPS (External Power Supply) and began receiving the wattage indicated by < actual-power>. The < avail- power > field indicates the maximum power (wattage) the detected EPS is capable of delivering

Ext Power Supply disconnected

The switch has lost contact with an external power supply.

POE usage is below configured threshold of <1 - 99> %

<slot-#> POE usage is below configured threshold of <1-99>%

Indicates that POE usage in the switch or indicated slot (if the switch includes module slots) has decreased below the threshold specified by the last execution of the global power threshold <1 - 99> command. This message occurs if, after the last reboot, the PoE demand on the switch exceeded the power threshold and then later dropped below the threshold value.

Port < port-#> applying power to PD.

A PoE device is connected to the port and receiving power.

Port < port-#> PD detected.

The switch has detected a PoE device connected to the port.
