Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
|---|---|
Specifies PoE configurations |
|
PoE card (power controller hardware) configuration. currently not supported on platforms. |
|
enable PoE auto reset mode for this card Choices:
|
|
Identifier for the card. must be number in range of 0-7. |
|
the power management algorithm. dynamic means that power consumption of each port is measured and calculated in real-time. static means that power allocated for each port depends on the type of power threshold configured on the port Choices:
|
|
Inline power usage threshold. Range is 0-99 inclusive |
|
configuration for global PoE card |
|
enable PoE auto reset mode for global. currently not supported on platforms. Choices:
|
|
the power management algorithm to use. dynamic means that power consumption of each port is measured and calculated in real-time. static means that power allocated for each port depends on the type of power threshold configured on the port. currently only ‘dynamic’ and ‘class’ values are supported Choices:
|
|
Inline power usage threshold. Range is 0-99 inclusive. currently not supported on platforms. |
|
PoE configuration for ethernet interfaces |
|
Device detection mechanism performed by this PSE port. Legacy is capacitive detection scheme, which can be used alone or as a backup if other detection schemes fail. Those schemes are IEEE 802 standard schemes. None cannot be forcibly set by adminstrator. currently only ‘dot3bt’ and ‘dot3bt+legacy’ values are supported Choices:
|
|
PoE port disconnect type. currently not supported on platforms. Choices:
|
|
enable PoE per port Choices:
|
|
Enables four pair mode for port. currently not supported on platforms. Choices:
|
|
Enables high power mode on a PSE port. currently not supported on platforms. Choices:
|
|
Name of the interface |
|
PoE power-classification mode for port. currently not supported on platforms. Choices:
|
|
The configured maximum power this port can provide to an attached device measured in Milliwatts. Range is 0-99900 inclusive. currently not supported on platforms. |
|
Controls the maximum power that a port can deliver. class-based means that the port power limit is as per the dot3af class of the powered device attached. user-defined means limit is specified by config. currently not supported on platforms. Choices:
|
|
PoE port power-pairs settings. currently not supported on platforms. Choices:
|
|
The mode configured for a PSE port to deliver high power. pre-dot3at means that a port is powered in the IEEE 802.3af mode initially, switched to the high-power IEEE 802.3at mode. dot3at means that a port is powered in the IEEE 802.3at mode. dot3bt, type3 and pre-dot3bt are to support 802.3bt interfaces. currently not supported on platforms. Choices:
|
|
PoE port priority in power management algorithm. Priority could be used by a control mechanism that prevents over current situations by disconnecting ports with lower power priority first. currently only ‘low’, ‘high’ and ‘critical’ values are supported Choices:
|
|
Enables spare pair power for port. currently not supported on platforms. Choices:
|
|
The state of the configuration after module completion Choices:
