HOW TO TEST YOUR ETHERNET CABLES FOR POE COMPATIBILITY

How to view the Ethernet and optical ports on a PoE switch

How to view the Ethernet and optical ports on a PoE switch

Run the following command to view interface status information: show port status <slot/port> The output includes interface rate, duplex mode, module type, and link status (the link up state is a prerequisite for normal module operation). To configure the inline power administrative mode on an interface, use the power inline Interface Configuration mode command. Shows Yes for ports enabled to support PoE (the default) and No for ports on which PoE is disabled. This can be done by navigating to the Switch > Monitor > Switch ports page on the dashboard like the example below: Select the switchports that you wish to configure by selecting the checkbox to the left of the port. If EnergyWise is detected, you need to enable PoE monitoring manually if you want to use it.
