Setting the POE Parameter for Huawei Switches

Global Parameter Settings

Currently, the network devices are deployed flexibly; therefore, the cabling of power supply is complicated. To simplify cabling, you can configure the PoE function on the  Huawei switches.

Procedure

1. Choose System Management > PoE > Global Parameter Settings in the navigation tree to open the Global Parameter Settings page, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Global Parameter Settings

Table 1 describes the parameters on the Global Parameter Settings page.

Table 1 Global Parameter Settings
Parameter	Description
Power Supply Management Mode	Indicates the mode of power supply management: Auto When providing power at almost full capacity, the switch provides power first for the PD connected to the interface of the highest priority and powers off the PD connected to the interface of the low priority. Manual When providing power at almost full capacity, the switch keeps the original power supply way, even if a new PD is connected to an interface with high priority. By default, the power supply is in automatic mode.
Max Output Power	Indicates the maximum output power of an interface.

2. Set the parameters.
3. Click Apply to complete the configuration.

Interface Parameter Settings

Currently, the network devices are deployed flexibly; therefore, the cabling of Huawei power supply is complicated. To simplify cabling, you can configure the PoE function on the switch. By default, the PoE function is enabled on all interfaces.

Procedure

Query power supply information on interfaces.

1. Choose System Management > PoE > Interface Parameter Settings in the navigation tree to open the Interface Parameter Settings page.
2. Select an interface type from the drop-down list box.
3. Enter the interface number, for example, 0/0/1 (stack ID/sub-card ID/port number).
4. Click Query to display all matching records.

Set power parameters on an interface.

5. Choose System Management > PoE > Interface Parameter Settings in the navigation tree to open the Interface Parameter Settings page.
6. Select a record and click Configure. The Configure Power Parameters on Interface page is displayed, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 Configure Power Parameters on Interface

Table 2 describes the parameters on the Configure Power Parameters on Interface page.

Table 1 Configure Power Parameters on Interface
Parameter	Description
Interface Name	Indicates the name of an interface. The interface name cannot be modified. You can select multiple interfaces each time.NOTE: If only one interface is selected, the configuration of the interface is displayed on the Configure Power Parameters on Interface page. If multiple interfaces are selected, the default settings of the interfaces are displayed.
Enable POE on Interface	Indicates whether to enable the PoE function on the interface. The options are Enable and Disable.By default, the PoE function is enabled. The PoE parameters take effect only after the PoE function is enabled.
Max Output Power	Indicates the maximum output power of an interface.
Power Priority	Indicates the power priority of an interface. The options are Low, High, and Critical.By default, the power priority of a PoE interface is low.
Manual Power Supply	Indicates the manual power supply mode. The options are power on and power off.You can manually power on and power off the PD connected to an interface. NOTE: Before powering on or off a PD, ensure that: The PD is connected to an interface. The PoE function is enabled on the interface. If the PD on an interface has been powered on, an error message is displayed after you power on the PD again. If the PD on an interface has been powered off, an error message is displayed after you power off the PD again.

7. Set the parameters.
8. Click OK.
