EdgeSwitch & EdgeSwitch X - How to Enable PoE Output

Overview

This article provides information about the different PoE (Power over Ethernet) output modes supported on the EdgeSwitch (ES) and EdgeSwitch X (ES-X) devices.

NOTES & REQUIREMENTS:
Applicable to the latest firmware on all EdgeSwitch (ES) and EdgeSwitch X (ES-X) models. Please see the Related Articles below for more information.

Passive and Active PoE Output Modes

Back to Top

The ES-8-150W will power both the ES-10X and the UAP-AC-Lite using 24V Passive PoE. The ES-10X can pass through the power to the UAP-AC-Lite using the PoE-In (port 1) and the PoE-Out (port 8) ports. The UAP-AC-Pro will be powered via 802.3af/at PoE+.

The EdgeSwitch (ES) devices support the following PoE output modes:

  • 802.3af/at Active PoE mode that negotiates the power delivery with the powered device (enabled by default on all PoE capable ports).
  • 24V Passive PoE mode that does not negotiate the power delivery.
  • Off PoE output disabled.

The EdgeSwitch X (ES-10X and ES-10XP) devices support the following PoE output modes:

  • 24V Passive PoE mode that does not negotiate the power delivery.
  • Off PoE output disabled (default).

Enabling Passive PoE Output

Back to Top

In this example, both the ES-10X and the UAP-AC-Lite will be powered via 24V Passive PoE. The UAP-AC-Pro will be powered via 802.3af/at PoE.

GUI: Access the Web UI on the ES-8-150W.

1. If not already done, unplug the Ethernet cable that connects the ES-8-150W on port 1 to the ES-10X on port 1.

2. Navigate to the Dashboard  dashboard.png  to change the PoE mode under the PoE column for port 1.

Dashboard > Port Summary > Port 1 > PoE > 24V

3. Plug in the Ethernet cable between the ES-8-150W on port 1 to the ES-10X on port 1.

WARNING: Make sure that a 24V Passive PoE-capable device is plugged into port 1.

Verify the PoE output status:

NOTE:Port 7 connected to the UAP-AC-Pro will automatically negotiate the PoE output mode (803.3af/at). 

You can also view the summary of all currently PoE enabled  power.png  EdgeSwitch ports in the top right of the Dashboard.

The above configuration can also be set using the CLI:

CLI: Access the Command Line Interface on the ES-8-150W.
enable
configure
interface 0/1
 poe opmode passive24v 
 exit

exit
copy running-config startup-config
GUI: Access the Web UI on the ES-10X.

1. If not already done, unplug the Ethernet cable that connects the ES-10X on port 8 to the UAP-AC-Lite.

2. Navigate to the Dashboard  dashboard.png  to change the PoE mode under the PoE column for port 8.

Dashboard > Port Summary > Port 8 > PoE > 24V

3. Plug in the Ethernet cable between the UAP-AC-Lite ES-10X on port 8.

WARNING: Make sure that a 24V Passive PoE-capable device is plugged into port 8.
