OmniSwitch 6560 OmniSwitch 6560 Availability Features
OmniSwitch 6560 Availability Features

The switch provides a broad variety of availability features. Availability features are hardware and
software-based safeguards that help prevent the loss of data flow in the unlikely event of a subsystem
failure. In addition, some availability features allow users to maintain or replace hardware components
without powering off the switch or interrupting switch operations. Combined, these features provide added
resiliency and help ensure that the switch is consistently available for day-to-day network operations.
Hardware-related availability features include:
• Power Supply Redundancy
• Hot-Swapping
• Hardware Monitoring
Power Supply Redundancy

For information on power supply redundancy, refer to Chapter 3, “Chassis and Power Supplies.”
Hot-Swapping
Hot-swapping refers to the action of adding, removing, or replacing certain hardware components without
powering off your switch and disrupting other components in the chassis. This feature greatly facilitates
hardware upgrades and maintenance and also allows you to easily replace components in the unlikely
event of hardware failure.
Hardware Monitoring
Automatic Monitoring
Automatic monitoring refers to the switch’s built-in sensors that automatically monitor operations. If an
error is detected (e.g., over-threshold temperature), the switch immediately sends a trap to the user. The
trap is displayed on the console in the form of a text error message.
LEDs
LEDs, which provide visual status information, are provided on the front and rear panels. LEDs are used
to indicate conditions, such as hardware and software status, link integrity, data flow, etc. For detailed
LED descriptions, refer to the corresponding hardware component section in the next chapter.
User-Driven Monitoring
User-driven hardware monitoring refers to CLI commands that are entered by the user in order to access
the current status of hardware components. The user enters “show” commands that output information to
the console. The show commands for all the features are described in detail in the OmniSwitch CLI
Reference Guide.

OmniSwitch 6560 Availability Features OmniSwitch 6560

2 Getting Started
Installing the Hardware
Note. For information on configuring a Virtual Chassis (VC), refer to the OmniSwitch 6560 Switch
Management Guide.
Items Required
• Grounding wrist strap
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat-blade screwdriver
Site Preparation
Environmental Requirements
The switches have the following environmental and airflow requirements:
• The installation site must maintain a supported temperature and humidity range as given in the
specifications table for the chassis. See “OmniSwitch 6560 Chassis Details” on page 3-2.
• Be sure to allow adequate room for proper air ventilation at the front, back, and sides of the switch.
Refer to “Airflow Considerations” on page 2-4 for minimum clearance requirements. No clearance is
necessary at the top or bottom of the chassis.
Electrical Requirements
Note. Switches must be installed by a professional installer. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
that proper grounding is available and that the installation meets applicable local and national electrical
codes.
The switches have the following general electrical requirements:

• Each switch requires one grounded electrical outlet for each power supply installed in the chassis.
• For switches using AC power connections, each supplied AC power cord is 2 meters (approx. 6.5 feet).
Do not use extension cords.

Installing the Hardware Getting Started
Redundant AC Power. It is recommended that each AC outlet resides on a separate circuit. With
redundant AC, if a single circuit fails, the switch’s remaining power supplies (on separate circuits) can
remain operational.
Electrical Surge Warning

In order to help protect equipment against electrical surges please take note of the following
recommendations and guidelines:
1 Earth grounding of all devices is fundamental to ensure long term reliability.
• All electrical equipment must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician.
• Every power supply that is connected to building power should be earth grounded.
• Earth grounding for the power cable, should be verified to be 0.01 ohm or less.
• Each switch should be grounded to same earth ground as the power supply.
• Each powered device, such as an AP or camera, should be connected to earth ground.
• Each surge suppression device should be connected to earth ground.
2 Shielded cables (STP) offer some minimal level of additional protection over unshielded Ethernet
cables (UTP) but the use of a surge protector is still recommended.
• It is suggested to use STP Cat5e or better for 1Gbps Ethernet switches for any outdoor application or
applications where Ethernet cables come in close proximity to alternating current conductors.
• Always install cables according to manufacturer requirements.
3 For any connections where integrity of the cabling within a building ground is questionable (i.e outdoor
connections), copper Ethernet ports must be connected with an appropriate surge protection device, inline,
between the PSE and PD per the manufacturer’s recommendations for connection and grounding.
4 Caution should be taken for any cable connected to any outdoor device, not only on the device ground-
ing, but to ensure that any outdoor device cables that could carry surge currents, do not pass those surge
currents to upstream Ethernet switches.
5 Caution - Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 6a cables can store large amounts of static electricity
due to the dielectric properties of their construction materials in addition, this build up of electricity could
lead to a Cable Discharge Event (CDE). A CDE can occur due to the differential in charges on the cable
and the equipment it’s being connected to. It is recommended that installers momentarily ground all
copper Ethernet cables (especially in new cable runs) to a suitable and safe earth ground before connect-
ing them to the port.
Note. Failure to follow the above recommendations could result in voiding the warranty of the affected
ALE product.

Getting Started Installing the Hardware
Unpacking and Installing the Switch

To protect your switch components from damage, read all unpacking recommendations and instructions
carefully before beginning.
Unpack your chassis as close as possible to the location where it will be installed.

Booting the Switch Getting Started
Booting the Switch

Now that you have installed the switch components and connected network and management cables, you can
boot the switch. To boot the switch, plug all power supply cords into easily-accessible, properly grounded
power outlets. (Do not use extension cords.) The switch will power on and boot automatically.
Note. If you have more than one power supply installed, be sure to plug in each power supply in rapid
succession, (i.e., within a few seconds of each other). This ensures that there will be adequate power for all
components throughout the boot process.
Component LEDs
During the boot process, component LEDs will flash and change color, indicating different stages of the boot
For complete information on LED states, refer to “Chassis Status LEDs” on page 3-22.
Once the switch has completely booted and you have accessed your computer’s terminal emulation software
via the console port, you are ready to log in to the switch’s Command Line Interface (CLI) and configure basic
information. Continue to “Your First Login Session” on page 2-7.

Getting Started Your First Login Session
Your First Login Session

In order to complete the setup process for the switch, you must complete the following steps during your first
login session:
• Log in to the switch
• Unlock session types
• Change the login password
• Set the date and time
• Set optional system information
• Save your changes
Important. You must be connected to the switch via the console port before initiating your first login
session.
Logging In to the Switch

When you first log in to the switch, you will be prompted for a login name and password. Use the switch’s
default settings:
• Login: admin
• Password: switch
The default welcome banner, which includes information such as the current software version and system date,
is displayed followed by the CLI command prompt:

Note. A user account includes a login name, password, and user privileges. Privileges determine whether
the user has read or write access to the switch and which commands the user is authorized to execute. For
detailed information on setting up and modifying user accounts, refer to the OmniSwitch 6560 Switch
Management Guide.

Your First Login Session Getting Started
Unlocking Session Types

Security is a key feature on an OmniSwitch switch. As described on page 2-7, when you access the switch for
the first time, you must use a direct console port connection. All other session types (Telnet, FTP, WebView,
and SNMP) are locked out until they are manually unlocked by the user.
The CLI command used to unlock session types is aaa authentication.
Note. When you unlock session types, you are granting switch access to non-local sessions (e.g., Telnet).
As a result, users who know the correct user login and password will have remote access to the switch. For
more information on switch security, refer to the OmniSwitch 6560 Switch Management Guide.
Unlocking All Session Types

To unlock all session types, enter the following command syntax at the CLI prompt:
-> aaa authentication default local
Unlocking Specified Session Types

You can also unlock session types on a one-by-one basis. For example, to unlock Telnet sessions only, enter
the following command:
-> aaa authentication telnet local
To unlock WebView (HTTP) sessions only, enter the following command:

-> aaa authentication http local
You cannot specify more than one session type in a single command line. However, you can still unlock
multiple session types by using the aaa authentication command in succession. For example:
-> aaa authentication http local
-> aaa authentication telnet local
-> aaa authentication ftp local
Refer to the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide for complete aaa authentication command syntax options.
Changing the Login Password

Change the login password for admin user sessions by following the steps below:
1 Be sure that you have logged into the switch as user type admin (see “Logging In to the Switch” on
page 2-7).
2 Enter the keyword password and press Enter.
3 Enter your new password at the prompt.
Note. Be sure to remember or securely record all new passwords; overriding configured passwords on an
OmniSwitch is restricted.
4 You will be prompted to re-enter the password. Enter the password a second time.

Getting Started Your First Login Session
New password settings are automatically saved in real time to the local user database; the user is not required
to enter an additional command in order to save the password information. Also note that new password
information is retained following a reboot. All subsequent login sessions, including those through the console
port, will require the new password to access the switch.
For detailed information on managing login information, including user names and passwords, refer to the
OmniSwitch 6560 Switch Management Guide.
Setting the System Time Zone

The switch’s default time zone is UTC. If you require a time zone that is specific to your region, or if you need
to enable Daylight Savings Time (DST) on the switch, you can configure these settings via the system
timezone and system daylight-savings-time commands.
For detailed information on configuring a time zone for the switch, refer to the OmniSwitch 6560 Switch
Management Guide.
Setting the Date and Time

Set the current time for the switch by entering system time, followed by the current time in hh:mm:ss.
To set the current date for the switch, enter system date, followed by the current date in mm/dd/yyyy.
Setting Optional Parameters
Specifying an Administrative Contact

An administrative contact is the person or department in charge of the switch. If a contact is specified, users
can easily find the appropriate network administrator if they have questions or comments about the switch.
To specify an administrative contact, use the system contact command.
Specifying a System Name

The system name is a simple, user-defined text description for the switch. To specify a system name, use the
system name command.
Specifying the Switch’s Location

It is recommended that you use a physical labeling system for locating and identifying your switch(es).
Examples include placing a sticker or placard with a unique identifier (e.g., the switch’s default IP address) on
each chassis.
However, if no labeling system has been implemented or if you need to determine a switch’s location from a
remote site, entering a system location can be very useful.
To specify a system location, use the system location command.

Your First Login Session Getting Started
Viewing Your Changes

To view your current changes, enter show system at the CLI prompt.
Saving Your Changes

Once you have configured this basic switch information, save your changes by entering write memory at the
CLI command prompt.

Mounting the Switch Chassis and Power Supplies
Mounting the Switch

General Mounting Recommendations
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature. If installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room’s ambient temperature.
Therefore, consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra) listed in the
“OmniSwitch 6560 Chassis Details” section.
Reduced Air Flow. Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Refer to “Airflow Recommendations” on
page 3-25 for more information.
Mechanical Loading. Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven loading.
Circuit Overloading. Consideration should be give to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits could have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Reliable Earthing. Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch (e.g., use of
power strips).

Chassis and Power Supplies Mounting the Switch
Airflow Recommendations
To ensure proper airflow, be sure that your switch is placed in a clean, well-ventilated area free of dust
and debris and provide minimum recommended clearance at the front, back and sides of the switch, as
shown below. Restricted airflow can cause your switch to overheat, which can lead to switch failure. Refer
to the following important guidelines regarding airflow:
Follow the guidelines below regarding the minimum clearance requirements when mounting
the chassis.
} Rear. 6 inches minimum

at rear of chassis.
Sides. 2 inches minimum

at left and right sides.
} Front. 6 inches minimum

at front of chassis.
Chassis Top View
Note. Clearance is not required at the top and bottom of the chassis.

Mounting the Switch Chassis and Power Supplies
Blank Cover Panels

Blank cover panels are provided with your switch and are used to cover empty slots. These cover panels
play an important role in chassis airflow and temperature management. If your switch is not fully
populated and blank cover panels are not installed over empty slot locations, airflow is adversely affected.
When blank cover panels are missing, air does not take the direct route from the air intake vents. As a
result, normal airflow is disrupted and an extra task is placed on the power supply fans to cool the chassis.
Cover panels also provide protection for module processor boards and other sensitive internal switch
components by closing off a chassis that is not fully populated.
Note. Because they regulate airflow and help protect internal chassis components, blank cover panels
should be installed over empty module slots and power supply bays at all times.
Installing Blank Cover Panels

1 When installing blank cover panels over power supply slots, orient the cover panels with the arrows
pointing up.
Face arrow up
when installing.
2 Insert the blank cover panel in the empty chassis slot and secure using attachment screws (provided).

Chassis and Power Supplies Rack-Mounting
Rack-Mounting
Refer to the following important guidelines before installing the chassis in a rack:
• Two people are required to rack mount the switch: One person to lift the chassis into position and one
person to secure the chassis to the rack using the rack mount screws.
• The chassis has rack-mount flanges that support standard 19-inch rack mount installations.
• Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise does not provide rack-mount screws. Use the screws supplied by the
rack vendor.
• To prevent a rack from becoming top heavy, it is recommended that you install the switch at the
bottom of the rack whenever possible.
Note. If you are installing the switch in a relay rack, be sure to install and secure the rack per rack manu-
facturer’s specifications.
Installing Rack Mount Flanges

1 To install rack mount flanges, start by making sure the spring clip is in the out (disengaged) position.
2 Insert the tab into the chassis slot as shown.

5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the flange on the opposite side of the chassis.

Chassis and Power Supplies Rack-Mounting
Installing the Chassis In the Rack

1 Mark the holes on the rack where the chassis is to be installed.
2 One person should lift and position the chassis until the rack-mount flanges are flush with the
rack post.
3 Align the holes in the flanges with the rack holes marked in step 1.
4 Once the holes are aligned, the second person should insert a screw through the bottom hole on each
flange. Tighten both screws until they are secure.
5 Install the remaining screws in the top hole of each flange. Be sure that all screws are
securely tightened.

Rack-Mounting Chassis and Power Supplies
Standalone (Non-Rack Mounted) Installations

The chassis can also be placed unmounted on a stable, flat surface as a standalone unit. Be sure that the
surface can accommodate the full, populated weight of all switches being installed. (Approximate chassis
weights are provided in the technical specifications tables in the “OmniSwitch 6560 Chassis Details”
section.)
Be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for chassis airflow and that you have placed the chassis
within reach of all required AC outlets. For recommended airflow allowances, refer to page 3-25.
To prepare the chassis for tabletop installations, follow the steps below:
1 Insert the four (4) rubber feet (provided separately in the switch packaging) into the holes in the bottom
panel of the chassis.
2 Place the switch on the tabletop “right side up.”
Note. Never attempt to operate a switch while it is placed on its top or side.
3 Connect network and management cables as needed.

The product has been designed to be installed in a Common Bonding Network (CBN). The pin of the
Green/Yellow ground lead in the three pin cable connector is connected to the ground connector on the DC
power supply, which is identified by a Grounding symbol. The Green/Yellow lead wire at the other end of
the cable must be connected to a proper earth ground point.
The rear chassis has two ground holes. To properly ground the equipment, connect a Panduit Corporation
UL listed Lug, (Part number LCD8-10A-L) to the two threaded holes located at the rear, insert two 10-32,
3/8” threaded pan head screws into these ground holes, and connect them to a proper earth ground point,
using protective earthing conductor wire and 8AWG copper conductors.
Connection Details
For DC power supply units, make the following power connections:
Connect the power supply using the supplied DC cable. The cable consists of three 12AWG wires (Green/
Yellow, Black, Red).
One end of the cable has a three pin connector in a plastic housing that is inserted into a three pin input
connector on the power supply. The other end of the cable is connected to a fuse panel or other source of
-48VDC power.
Observe proper polarity when connecting to a fuse panel. The cable wire leads must be connected as
follows:
• Green/yellow - ground
• Black - return
• Red - -48VDC
Note. The battery return conductor is an Isolated DC Return (DC-1).

Installing Power Supplies
Note. The power supply shown in the following diagrams is a OS6560-BP-PH unit. However, compara-
ble installation and removal steps also apply to other power supply units.
1 Insert the power supply into a power supply bay at the rear of the chassis and slide it back until it is
securely seated in the chassis backplane.
When the connector is fully seated, the lock tab will click and hold the power supply in place.
Lock Tab
2 Plug the power cord (provided) into the power supply’s socket.

Note. The chassis does not provide an on/off switch. Connecting a the power supplies to a power source
will boot the switch.

Removing Power Supplies

1 When removing a power supply, first disconnect the power cord from the power source. Once the
power cord is disconnected, pull the power cord out of the power supply housing.
2 Pressing the lock tab toward the center of the power supply, as shown, will free the power supply from
the chassis.
Lock Tab

3 While pressing the lock tab, pull the power supply straight back and out of the chassis slot.
Note. If you are not replacing the power supply, be sure to install a blank cover panel over the empty
power supply bay.

Chassis and Power Supplies Grounding the Chassis
Grounding the Chassis

The switch has a grounding lug located on the rear of the chassis. This lug uses 10-32 screws and is
surrounded by a small paint-free area, which provides metal-to-metal contact for a ground connection.
Use this connector to supplement the ground provided by the AC power cord. To do so, install a Panduit
Grounding Lug (type LCD8-10A-L) using 8AWG copper conductors to the paint-free area.
Refer to the rear chassis views on page 3-2 for location details.

Monitoring Chassis Temperature

The operating temperature of your switch is a critical factor in its overall operability. In order to avoid a
temperature-related system failure, your switch must always run at a temperature within the specified
operating temperature range.
To avoid chassis over-temperature conditions, follow the important chassis airflow recommendations on
page 3-25.
To check the switch’s current temperature status, use the show temperature command. For example:
-> show temperature

Chassis/Device | Current | Range | Danger | Thresh | Status

For more information about this command, see the “Chassis Management and Monitoring Commands”
chapter in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.

Chassis and Power Supplies Dying Gasp
Temperature Errors
The switch monitors the ambient air temperature at all times via an onboard sensor. If an over-temperature
condition occurs, there are two different levels of error severity:
• Warning threshold has been exceeded
• Danger threshold has been exceeded
Warning Threshold
If the temperature exceeds the switch’s user-configurable warning threshold, the switch sends out a trap.
Traps are printed to the console in the form of text error messages.
When the warning threshold has been exceeded, switch operations remain active. However, it is
recommended that immediate steps be taken to address the over-temperature condition.
Addressing warning threshold temperature conditions may include:
• Checking for a chassis airflow obstruction
• Checking the ambient room temperature
• Verifying that the warning threshold has not been manually set too low.
Temperature Danger Threshold

If the chassis ambient air temperature rises above the danger threshold, the switch will power off until the
temperature conditions have been addressed and the switch is manually booted. The danger threshold is
factory-set and cannot be configured by the user.
Addressing danger threshold temperature conditions may include:
• Checking for a chassis airflow obstruction
• Checking the ambient room temperature
Dying Gasp
If the switch loses all power it will maintain power long enough to send a Dying Gasp message before
completely shutting down. An SNMP trap, Syslog message and Link OAM PDUs will be generated.
Scenarios
A Dying Gasp event will be generated in the following scenarios:
• Primary power supply failure (if only power supply present)
• Primary power supply failure and then backup power supply failure
• Backup power supply failure and then primary power supply failure
Note. Connect each power supply to a separate independent power source to avoid simultaneous
power failures.

Dying Gasp Chassis and Power Supplies
SNMP Trap
As soon as the power failure is detected, an SNMP trap is sent to the first three configured SNMP stations.
The trap includes the following information:
• Slot number
• Power supply type (primary/backup)
• Time of the failure
Use the snmp station command and refer to the SNMP Configuration chapter for information on
configuring an SNMP station.
Syslog Message
As soon as the power failure is detected, the following Syslog message is sent to the first three configured
Syslog servers, along with the time of the failure:
Dying Gasp Power Failure Event Occurred
Use the swlog output socket command to add a Syslog station. Refer to the Using Switch Logging
Configuration chapter in the Network Configuration Guide for information on configuring a Syslog server.
Link OAM PDU

As soon as the power failure is detected four 802.3ah OAM Information PDUs are sent to ports for which
link OAM is enabled and the LinkOAM port status is operational. The PDU will have the Dying Gasp bit
set.
Use the efm-oam and efm-oam port propagate-events commands to enable the generation of an 802.3ah
OAM Information PDU upon a dying gasp event:
-> efm-oam admin-state enable
-> efm-oam port 1/1/23-34 admin-state enable
-> efm-oam port 1/1/23-24 propagate-events dying-gasp enable
Link OAM PDU Priority

It may not be possible to generate PDUs on all ports enabled for link OAM. Dying gasp packets will be
sent in the following order based on port priority:
1. Uplink ports
2. All other ports

4 Managing Power over Ethernet
(PoE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides inline power directly from the switch’s Ethernet ports. Powered
Devices (PDs) such as IP phones, wireless LAN stations, Ethernet hubs, and other access points can be
plugged directly into the Ethernet. From these RJ-45 the devices receive both electrical power and
data flow.
As the feature reduces devices’ dependence on conventional power sources, PoE eliminates many restric-
tions that traditional electrical considerations have imposed on networks.
In a PoE configuration, Power Source Equipment (PSE) detects the presence of a PD and provides an elec-
trical current that is conducted along the data cable. The PD operates using the power received via the
Ethernet data cable; no connection to an additional power source (e.g., an AC wall socket) is required.
Note on Terminology. There are several general terms used to describe the feature, PoE. The terms Power
over Ethernet (PoE), Power over LAN (PoL), Power on LAN (PoL), and Inline Power are synonymous
terms used to describe the powering of attached devices via Ethernet. For consistency, this chapter and the
CLI Command Reference Guide refer to the feature as Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Additional terms, such as Powered Device (PD) and Power Source Equipment (PSE) are not synonymous
with PoE, but are directly related to the feature:
• PD refers to any attached device that uses a PoE data cable as its only source of power. Examples
include access points, IP telephones, Ethernet hubs, wireless LAN stations, etc.
• PSE refers to power sourcing equipment, which provides power to a single link section. PSE main
functions include searching the PD, optionally classifying the PD, supplying power to the link section
only if the PD is detected, monitoring the power on the link section, and scaling power back to detect
level when power is no longer requested or required.
As the switches fully support 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity, you may also attach non-PD equipment,
such as computer workstations, printers, servers, etc. to the PoE ports.
Important. It’s recommended that PoE-enabled switches with attached IP telephones should have opera-
tional power supply redundancy at all times for 911 emergency requirements. In addition, both the switch
and the power supply should be plugged into an Uninterruptible Power Source (UPS).

In This Chapter Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Understanding and Modifying the Default Settings

The sections below provide information on each of the key components within the Power over Ethernet
software. They include information on PoE-related CLI commands. For detailed information on PoE-
related commands, refer to the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Note. PoE units support different wattage power supplies. If unlike power supplies are mixed or if an
unsupported power supply is used, a console message and a trap are generated.
PoE Class Detection

Powered devices can be classified into different classes as shown in the table below. Class detection
allows for automatic maximum power adjustment based on the power class detected. This will prevent the
switch from delivering more than the maximum power allowed based on a device’s class.
During class detection, the switch will allocate the maximum amount of power allowed based on the class
detected. Once powered, if the device uses less than the maximum, the remaining power will be made
available for other devices.
Usage Power Range

Class Current (mA) Class Description
Classification (Watts)
0 Default 0-4 0.44-30.00 Unimplemented
1 Optional 9-12 0.44-3.84 Very Low Power

Power over Ethernet Budget Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Usage Power Range

2 Optional 17-20 3.84-6.49 Low Power
3 Optional 26-30 6.49-12.95 Mid Power
4 Optional 36-44 12.95- 30.00 High Power
Although class-detection is disabled by default, the switch still provides power to incoming PDs (if avail-
able in the power budget). However, to strictly enforce class detection as specified in the 802.3at standard,
class detection must be enabled using the lanpower slot class-detection command.
Enabling class detection will reset all PoE ports on the chassis.
PoE Operational Status

Enabling PoE
By default, Power over Ethernet is administratively enabled in the switch’s system software. However, in
order to physically activate PoE, you must issue the lanpower slot service command on a slot-by-slot
basis before any connected PDs will receive inline power.
To activate power to PoE-capable in a switch, enter the corresponding slot number only. For example:
-> lanpower slot 2/1 service start
If power to a particular port has been administratively disconnected, you can reactivate power to the port
using the lanpower port admin-state command. For example:
-> lanpower port 2/1/1-24 admin-state enable
Note. You cannot use the lanpower port admin-state command to initially activate PoE on a port. This
syntax is intended only to reactivate power to those that have been disconnected via the lanpower slot
service command. To initially activate PoE, you must use the lanpower slot service command as
described above.
Disabling PoE
To disable PoE on a particular port, use the lanpower port admin-state command. For example:
-> lanpower port 1/1/12 admin-state disable
To disable PoE for all PoE-capable ports in a slot, use the lanpower slot service command. For example:
-> lanpower slot 1/1 service stop
Configuring the Total Power Available to a Port

By default, each port is authorized by the system software to use up to a maximum amount of milliwatts to
power any attached device.
You can either increase or decrease this value based on the allowed ranges.

Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power over Ethernet Budget
Increasing the total power available to an individual port may provide a more demanding Powered Device
(PD) with additional power required for operation. Decreasing the total power available to a port helps to
preserve inline power and assists in the overall management of the switch’s power budget.
To increase or decrease the total power available to an individual port, use the lanpower power
command. Since you are setting the power allowance for an individual port, you must specify chassis/slot/
port values in the command line. For example, the syntax
-> lanpower port 1/1/24 power 3000
reduces the power allowance on port 24 to 3000 milliwatts. This new value is now the maximum amount
of power the port can use to power any attached device (until the value is modified by the user).
Configuring the Total Power Available to a slot

Like the maximum port power allowance, the system software also provides a maximum slot-wide power
allowance. By default, each slot is authorized by the system software to use a number of watts to power all
devices connected to its ports depending on which power supply is used.
As with the maximum port power allowance, the user can either increase or decrease this value based on
the allowed ranges.
Important. Decreasing the slot-wide power could cause lower priority ports to lose power if the new
value is less than the total PoE power currently being consumed.
To increase or decrease the total power available to a slot, use the lanpower slot maxpower command.
Since you are setting the power allowance for an individual slot, you must specify a chassis/slot value in
the command line. For example, the syntax
-> lanpower slot 3/1 maxpower 400
reduces the power allowance of chassis 3, slot 1 to 400 watts. This value is now the maximum amount of
power the slot can use to power all attached devices (until the value is modified by the user).
Note. Changing the maximum power available to a slot or port does not reserve or immediately allocate
that power. These settings are only used for configuring a maximum amount of power that may be used,
any unused power is still available and remains a part of the overall PoE budget.
Setting Port Priority Levels

As not all Powered Devices (PDs) connected to the switch have the same priority within a network setting,
the OmniSwitch allows the administrator to specify priority levels on a port-by-port basis. Priority levels
include low, high, and critical. The default priority level for a port is low.
• Low. This default value is used for port(s) that have low-priority devices attached. In the event of a
power management issue, inline power to low-priority is interrupted first (i.e., before critical and high-
priority).
• High. This value is used for port(s) that have important, but not mission-critical, devices attached. If
other ports in the chassis have been configured as critical, inline power to high-priority is given second
priority.

Understanding Guard Band Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Critical. This value is used for port(s) that have mission-critical devices attached, and therefore require
top (i.e., critical) priority. In the event of a power management issue, inline power to critical is main-
tained as long as possible.
To change the priority level for a particular port, use the lanpower priority command. Since the switch
allows you to set priority levels on a port-by-port basis, be sure to specify chassis/slot/port information in
the command line. For example, the syntax
-> lanpower port 1/1/6 priority critical
changes the priority value of port 6 to the highest priority level of critical. Now that the default value has
been reconfigured, this port should be reserved for those PDs that are mission critical for network opera-
tions.
Setting the Capacitor Detection Method

By default, the capacitor detection method is disabled. To enable it, use the lanpower capacitor-detec-
tion. For example:
-> lanpower slot 3/1 capacitor-detection enable
Note. The capacitive detection method should only be enabled to support legacy IP phones. This feature
is not compatible with IEEE specifications. Please contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales engineer or Customer
Support representative to find out which Alcatel-Lucent IP phones models need capacitive
detection enabled.
Understanding Guard Band

Guard Band functionality is implemented when the switch has to provide power to a newly connected PD. This
functionality is more relevant on switches that have a lower amount of total PoE power available for the switch
but a higher default maximum PoE power available to some ports.
• If the amount of power remaining is less than the port's configured maximum PoE power value or the PD's
class maximum power then the switch will not power up the PD.
• This applies even if the newly connected PD actually requires less than the maximum power available for
the port.
For example, assume the following:

• There is 50W of PoE power remaining on the switch.
• A newly connected PD only requires 4W of power.
• The port's maximum PoE power value is 75W.
In this example the newly connected PD will not be powered on since the port's maximum PoE power value is
greater than the PoE power remaining on the switch.
To allow the PD to be powered, the port's maximum PoE value can be configured to be less than the power
remaining by issuing the following command to set the port's maximum PoE power to 10W:
-> lanpower power 1/1/1 power 10000

Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Understanding Guard Band
Using the previous example:

• There is 50W of PoE power remaining on the switch.
• A newly connected PD only requires 4W of power.
• The port's maximum PoE power value is now 10W.
The newly connected PD will be powered on since the port's maximum PoE power value is now less than the
PoE power remaining on the switch. The examples assume the new PD has the same or lower priority as the
existing PDs, otherwise priority disconnect will override.
The Guard Band functionality does not apply to PDs that are already powered up. However, priority disconnect
will apply if there's not enough power to power all PDs in the case of the power budget being reduced, such as
the removal of a power supply.
Please refer to the “Understanding Priority Disconnect” on page 4-10 for additional details.

Understanding Priority Disconnect Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Understanding Priority Disconnect

The priority disconnect function differs from the port priority function described on page 4-7 in that it
applies only to the addition of powered devices (PDs) in tight power budget conditions. Priority discon-
nect is used by the system software in determining whether an incoming PD will be granted or denied
power when there are too few watts remaining in the PoE power budget for an additional device. For
example, if there are only 2 watts available in the current PoE power budget and a user plugs a 3.5W
powered device into a PoE port, the system software must determine whether the device will be powered
on. Based on priority disconnect rules, in some cases one or more existing devices may be powered down
in order to accommodate the incoming device. In other cases, the incoming device will be denied power.
Priority disconnect rules involve the port priority status of an incoming device (i.e., low, high, and criti-
cal), as well as the port’s physical port number (i.e., 1–24). Understanding priority disconnect rules is
especially helpful in avoiding power budget deficits and the unintentional shutdown of mission-critical
devices when PDs are being added in tight power budget conditions. For detailed information on how
priority disconnect uses port priority and port number criteria for determining the power status of incom-
ing PDs, refer to the illustrated examples on pages 4-11 through 4-12.
Reminder. Priority disconnect applies only when there is inadequate power remaining in the power
budget for an incoming device.
For information on setting the priority disconnect status, refer to the section below. For information on
setting the port priority status (a separate function from priority disconnect), refer to “Setting Port Priority
Levels” on page 4-7.
Setting Priority Disconnect Status

By default, priority disconnect is enabled in the switch’s system software. For information on changing the
priority disconnect status, refer to the information below.
Disabling Priority Disconnect

When priority disconnect is disabled and there is inadequate power in the budget for an additional device,
power will be denied to any incoming PD, regardless of its port priority status (i.e., low, high, and critical)
or physical port number (i.e., 1–24).
To disable priority disconnect, use the lanpower slot priority-disconnect command. For example:
-> lanpower slot 2/1 priority-disconnect disable
Enabling Priority Disconnect

To enable priority disconnect, use the lanpower slot priority-disconnect command. For example:
-> lanpower slot 2/1 priority-disconnect enable

Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Understanding Priority Disconnect
Priority Disconnect is Enabled; Same Priority Level on All PD
Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to
power an incoming device.
When a PD is being connected to a port with the same priority level as all other in the slot, the physical
port number is used to determine whether the incoming PD will be granted or denied power. Due to the
support of different PoE standards and PoE hardware on each platform the internal port priority is differ-
ent for each platform. The following should be used to determine PoE priority:
Port Number 1 (Highest) -> 48(Lowest)
PoE Physical Port Priority
Priority Disconnect is Enabled; Incoming PD Port has Highest Priority Level
When a PD is being connected to a port with a higher priority level than all other in the slot, the incoming
PD will automatically be granted power over the other devices, regardless of its physical port number.
In order to avoid a power budget deficit, another port in the slot is disconnected. In determining which
port to power off, the system software first selects the port with the lowest configured priority level. For
example, if a critical priority device is being added to a slot in which five existing devices are attached to
high priority and one device is attached to a low priority port, the low priority port is automatically
disconnected, regardless of its physical port number.
If all existing devices are attached to with the same lower priority level, the system software disconnects
the port with both the lowest priority level and the highest priority physical port number. For example, if a
critical priority device is being added to a slot in which six existing devices are attached to high priority,
the high priority port with the lowest physical port priority number is automatically disconnected.
Priority Disconnect is Enabled; Incoming PD Port has Lowest Priority Level
When a PD is being connected to a port with a lower priority level than all other in the slot, the incoming
PD will be denied power, regardless of its physical port number. Devices connected to other higher-prior-
ity will continue operating without interruption.

Understanding Priority Disconnect Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Priority Disconnect is Disabled
When priority disconnect is disabled, power will be denied to any incoming PD, regardless of its port
priority status (i.e., low, high, and critical) or physical port number (i.e., 1–24).
