Description

Current Status	Displays the status of the PoE feature. It displays:
	• Disabled—detecting function is disabled
	• Searching—detecting function is enabled and the system is searching for
	a valid powered device on this port
	• Delivering power— detection found a valid powered device and the port
	is delivering power
	• Fault—power-specific fault detected on the port
	• Test—detecting function is in test mode, which is set using SNMP
	• Other fault—detecting function is idle due to fault
	ATTENTION
	Nortel recommends against using the test operational status.
Classifica-	Classification is a way to tag different terminals on the power over LAN network
tion	according to their power consumption. Devices such as IP telephones, WLAN
	access points, and others are classified according to their power requirements.
	The meaning of the classification labels is defined in the IEEE 802.3af
	specification.
	This parameter is valid only while a device is being powered.
Limit (Watt)	Sets the maximum amount of power supplied to that port.
	The range for Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series is 3W to 16W. The default
	value is 16W.
Priority	Priority is used to determine which port(s) are shut down when the total power
	of the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series exceeds the power budget for
	that switch (or available DTE power). The lower priority ports are shut down
	in favor of higher priority ports.
	The range is low, high, and critical. The default value is low.
	ATTENTION
	When two ports have the same priority and one must be shut down, the port
	with the higher port number is shut down first.
Volt (V)	Displays the measured voltage supplied by the port.
Current (mA)	Displays the measured current supplied by the port.
Power (Watt)	Displays the measured power supplied by the port.
