About This Guide

Use this guide to configure the Power over Ethernet (also known as PoE) feature in Junos OS. PoE
permits electric power, along with data, to be passed over a copper Ethernet LAN cable. Powered
devices that support PoE—such as voice over IP (VoIP) telephones, wireless access points, video
cameras, and point-of-sale devices—can receive power safely from the same access ports that are used
to connect personal computers to the network.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables electric power, along with data, to be passed over a copper Ethernet
LAN cable. Powered devices—such as VoIP telephones, wireless access points, video cameras, and point-
of-sale devices—that support PoE can receive power safely from the same access ports that are used to
connect personal computers to the network. This reduces the amount of wiring in a network, and also
eliminates the need to position a powered device near an AC power outlet, making network design more
flexible and efficient.

This topic describes PoE on Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches.

PoE Versions

PoE was first defined in the IEEE 802.3af standard, which supplied up to 15.4 W of power to a
connected powered device. Subsequent versions increased the amount of power that can be supplied to
a powered device, as follows:

Enhanced PoE Supplies up to 18.6 W of power.

This is a Juniper Networks extension to the IEEE 802.3af standard introduced in Junos
OS Release 11.1.

IEEE 802.3at Supplies up to 30 W of power.

(PoE+)
The PoE+ standard provides support for legacy PoE devices—an IEEE 802.3af powered
device can operate normally when connected to IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) power sourcing
equipment.

Four-pair PoE Supplies to up 90 W of power.

(PoE-4P)
 3

This is a Juniper Networks extension to the IEEE 802.3at standard introduced in Junos
OS Release 18.2. PoE-4P delivers more power by utilizing all four pairs of wire in a
standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable. In addition to providing more power, PoE-4P improves
energy efficiency by reducing the amount of power lost during cable transmission.
PoE-4P can deliver up to 60 W (high power PoE) or 90 W (ultra-high power PoE).

IEEE 802.3bt Supplies to up 90 W of power.

(PoE-bt)
The IEEE 802.3bt standard for four-pair PoE, introduced in Junos OS Release 19.3.
PoE-bt introduces two new power types: Type 3 and Type 4, which deliver up to 60_W
and 90_W of power, respectively.

NOTE: Some switches include fast Power over Ethernet (see Feature Explorer for support
information). Fast PoE delivers PoE power to devices connected to the ports even before the
switch is fully operational. This is beneficial when the connected devices need only power, and
not network connectivity. Use the set poe fast-poe command to set fast PoE.

See Table 1 on page 3 to find the version of PoE supported on EX Series switches and line cards.

switch models. The PoE commands do not provide any
meaningful configuration on standalone non-PoE-capable

Power Management Modes

A switch or line card that supports PoE has a PoE controller. The controller determines how much power
to allocate to the PoE interfaces. If the power consumption of a connected PD exceeds the maximum
power allocated to that interface, the controller turns off power to the interface.

The method used to allocate power depends on the power management mode:

Class mode Power is allocated dynamically using the classification process. This is the default mode.

Static mode Power is allocated based on the maximum power configuration.

These methods are described below.

Classification

Classification is a process by which the power sourcing equipment (PSE) and powered device (PD)
exchange information to dynamically determine the power allocation. The process begins when a PD is
connected to a PoE interface and presents a class signature. The PoE IEEE standards define classes for
devices based on the levels of power they require.
 6

The PSE responds with a power allocation based on the class of the PD. If LLDP is enabled on the
interface, the allocation can be adjusted using LLDP power negotiation. See "LLDP Power Negotiation"
on page 7 for more information.

NOTE: Powered devices that are not IEEE-compliant might not present a class signature. These
will be assigned a default class of 0.

Table 2 on page 6 lists the classes of powered devices and associated power levels. Because of line
loss, the power range of the powered device is less than the maximum power delivered at the PoE port
for each class. Line loss is influenced by cable length, cable quality, and other factors and is typically less
than 16 percent of the maximum power.

6 60.0 W 51 W

7 75.0 W 62 W

8 90.0 W 71.3 W

LLDP Power Negotiation

In class management mode, LLDP power negotiation can be used to refine the power allocation to the
PD though an exchange of LLDP messages. For example, if the actual power requirement of the PD is a
lower amount of power than it was allocated based on its class designation, the PSE can reduce the
power allocation.

The negotiated power allocation will include some additional power guard to accommodate cable
length. This additional allocated power is approximately 15 percent of the requested value and it can
allocate the power in small increments. For devices that use LLDP power negotiation, the power
reserved for the interface is always greater than the LLDP-requested power value by the external POE
device.

LLDP power negotiation is enabled by default in class management mode for LLDP interfaces. On
interfaces that are in class management mode but are not enabled for LLDP, the power allocation is
determined solely by the class of the PD.

NOTE: Starting in Junos OS Release 18.1R1, on EX2300 and EX3400 switches, once power is
allocated based on LLDP power negotiation, LLDP power negotiation remains in effect, even if
the interface link status goes off and on, or if the LLDP configuration is changed.
 8

NOTE: LLDP power negotiation is not supported on EX3200 and EX4200 (except EX4200 PX
models) switches.

Maximum Power Configuration

In static management mode, you configure the maximum power allocation for each PoE interface. The
PSE allocates this amount of power to the interface from the maximum PoE power consumption for the
switch or line card. For example, if you specify a maximum value of 8.0 W for ge-0/0/3, the PoE
controller allocates 8.0 W for this interface out of the maximum power consumption. This amount is
allocated to the interface irrespective of whether a powered device is connected to the interface or the
connected powered device uses less power than 8.0 W.

NOTE: Static management mode is not supported in PoE-bt.

Because of line loss, the power received by the powered device can be less than the power available at
the PoE port. Table 3 on page 8 shows the maximum power available at a PoE port and the resulting
power guaranteed to the powered device.

Maximum PoE Power Consumption

The maximum PoE power consumption is the total amount of power available for the PoE controller to
allocate to all of the PoE interfaces. In allocating power, the PoE controller cannot exceed the maximum
PoE power consumption.

The maximum PoE power consumption depends on the switch model:

Maximum PoE Power Consumption on EX2200, EX2300, EX3200, EX3300, EX3400, EX4200,
and EX4300 Switches

The maximum PoE power consumption on EX2200, EX2300, EX3200, EX3300, EX3400, EX4200,
EX4300, and EX4400 switches depends on the switch model and the capacities of the power supplies
installed. To find the maximum PoE power consumption for each switch model, see Table 4 on page 10
for EX2200 switch models, Table 5 on page 11 for EX2300 switch models, Table 6 on page 11 for
EX3200 switch models, Table 7 on page 12 for EX3300 switch models, see Table 8 on page 13 for
EX3400 switch models, Table 9 on page 13 for EX4200 switch models, and Table 10 on page 15 for
EX4300 switch models, and Table 11 on page 16
 10

The maximum PoE power consumption for a switch is displayed in the Maximum power field in the output of
the show poe controller CLI command. The exception to this would be when LLDP power negotiation is in
use.

If your switch supports power supplies of different capacities, keep the following points in mind:

• If you change your existing power supply to a lower-capacity power supply, the maximum PoE power
consumption might no longer be sufficient to power all the PoE ports on the switch.

• If your switch supports redundant power supplies and you have installed power supplies of different
capacities, the maximum PoE power consumption is based on the wattage of the lowest-capacity
power supply.

• You cannot increase the number of PoE-capable ports on a switch by installing a power supply that
has a higher capacity.

ratings, and maximum PoE power consumption.

Maximum PoE Power Consumption on EX6200 and EX8200 Switches

For EX6200 and EX8200 switches, each line card that supports PoE has its own PoE controller and
maximum PoE power consumption. The maximum PoE power consumption is allocated to the line card
by the switch’s power management, while PoE power is allocated to the ports on the line card by the
PoE controller. Because EX6200 and EX8200 switches can differ in the number and capacity of power
supplies installed and in the number and types of line cards installed, the amount of power available for
PoE power can vary for switches of the same model.

Power management allocates PoE power to line cards that support PoE only after it has allocated base
power to and powered on all line cards. It then allocates the remaining power to the line cards for PoE in
order of line card power priority. (In a default configuration, power priority is determined by the line card
slot number, with slot 0 having the highest priority.) If the remaining power is insufficient to provide PoE
power to all PoE line cards, a low-priority line card might receive no PoE power or partial PoE power.

By default, power management allocates enough PoE power to a line card to power all PoE ports at their
maximum supported power. If the powered devices connected to that line card require less power than
that, you can configure a smaller maximum PoE power consumption for the line card. For example,
power management normally allocates 915 W of PoE power to a 48-port PoE+ 20 Gbps (EX8200-48PL)
line card. If the powered devices connected to that line card consume no more than a total of 250 W,
you can set the maximum PoE power consumption for the line card to 250 W. Doing so frees 665 W,
which then can be used to fulfill the PoE power needs of lower-priority line cards.

You can also configure the power priority of the PoE ports on a line card. If power management is unable
to allocate enough power to a line card to meet its maximum PoE power consumption, the line card’s
PoE controller turns off power to PoE ports in reverse priority order as required to meet the reduced
power allocation.

Power management adjusts PoE power allocations as power availability and demand in a switch change.
As a general rule, power management allocates power to power on line cards before it allocates PoE
power. For example, if you add a line card and there is insufficient power available to power it on, power
management reduces the PoE power it provides to line cards, starting with the lowest priority line card,
until it frees enough power to power on the new line card. When power management reduces the
maximum PoE power consumption for a line card because of insufficient power, it logs a message in the
system log.

Note that the actual power consumed by the powered devices does not affect power management’s
power allocation for a line card. If you have set the maximum PoE power consumption for a line card to
 18

500 W, power management allocates 500 W even if the powered devices are consuming less power
than that. Similarly, the maximum PoE power consumption is not increased if you add additional
powered devices—if the powered devices require more than the 500 W maximum that you have
configured, lower-priority devices do not receive power.

You can display the switch’s power budget maintained by power management, including its PoE power
allocations, by using the show chassis power-budget-statistics command. You can also display the maximum
PoE power consumption for each line card in a switch by using the show poe controller command.

For more information about how power management allocates power, including PoE power, see
Understanding Power Management on EX Series Switches.

PoE Configurable Options | 22

Enabling PoE

For EX Series switches that support PoE ports, the factory default configuration enables PoE on the
PoE-capable ports, with default settings in effect. You might not have to do any additional configuration
if the default settings work for you. See Table 12 on page 22 for the configurable options and their
default settings.

NOTE: We recommend that you do not connect an enabled PoE port on one switch to an
enabled PoE port on a second switch. If there is a large voltage difference between the power
supplies of the two switches, the resulting negative current will trigger a fail-safe mechanism that
prevents the power sourcing equipment (PSE) from delivering power to the other PoE ports on
that switch.

NOTE: On EX8200 switches, the factory default configuration enables PoE on all interfaces
starting at Junos OS Release 11.2. Switches that have been upgraded to Release 11.2 from an
earlier release might not have PoE enabled by default. To enable PoE on all PoE-capable ports on
a switch, use the set poe interface all configuration command.

NOTE: EX4600 switches support PoE only in a mixed Virtual Chassis with EX4300 switches.
EX4600 switches do not have PoE ports; therefore, the factory default configuration does not
enable PoE.
 21

NOTE: When connecting EX2300-24MP or EX2300-48MP switches to EX3400, EX4300,

EX2300, EX2200, or EX4200 switches using network ports, make sure that PoE is disabled on
the interface connected to peer switch. POE must be enabled only on interfaces on which access
points, IP phones or other POE-powered devices are connected.

Enabling High Power and Ultra-high Power PoE

Starting in Junos OS Release 18.2R1, on EX4300-48MP switches, you can configure four-pair PoE
(PoE-4P) to increase the power delivered to a powered device to 60_W (high power) or 90_W (ultra-high
power).

NOTE: High power and ultra-high power PoE can be configured for a specific interface, or can be
configured globally for all interfaces. For a global configuration, use the all option in place of the
interface name.

To configure high power PoE, use the following command:

• [edit]
user@switch# set poe interface interface-name high-power

To configure ultra-high power PoE, use the following command:

• [edit]
user@switch# set poe interface interface-name ultrahigh-power

Enabling IEEE 802.3-BT PoE

Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, EX4300-48MP switches support IEEE 802.3-BT (PoE-bt).
Upgrading to a Junos OS release that supports PoE-bt does not enable PoE-bt by default. To enable
PoE-bt, you must upgrade the PoE controller software.

For information on upgrading to PoE-bt, see "Upgrading to IEEE 802.3bt PoE" on page 57.

management class Sets the PoE power management mode for the switch or line
card. The power management mode determines how power to
a PoE interface is allocated:

• class—In this mode, the power allocated to a PoE interface is

based on the class of the powered device, and can be
further adjusted using LLDP power negotiation. LLDP
power negotiation is enabled by default on supported
switches when the management option is set to class.

If LLDP power negotiation is disabled or not supported on

the powered device or the switch, the maximum power
delivered by an interface is determined by the class of the
connected powered device.

If there is no powered device connected, standard 15.4W

power is allocated on the interface.

• static—The maximum power delivered by an interface is

statically configured and is independent of the class of the
connected powered device. The maximum power is
allocated to the interface even if a powered device is not
connected.

15.4 W for interfaces
that support PoE (IEEE • Up to 30 W for EX2200, EX2300, EX3300, EX3400,
802.3af) EX4200, EX4300, EX6200, and EX8200 switches

• Up to 18.6 W for EX3200 switches

This setting is ignored if the power management mode is class.

NOTE: The maximum-power setting permitted by the CLI might

be greater than the maximum power a given PoE port can
deliver. For example, the CLI permits you to set any port on an
EX8200 line card to 30 W; however, only ports 0 through 11
support 30 W. Similarly, the CLI permits you to set any port on
an EX4200 switch to 30 W, but some EX4200 models support
only 18.6 W per port. If you configure a maximum-power value
that is greater than the maximum power supported by a port,
the power allocated to the port will be the maximum supported.
 25

Table 12: Configurable PoE Options and Default Settings (Continued)

Option Default Description

priority low Sets an interface’s power priority to either low or high. If power
is insufficient for all PoE interfaces, the PoE power to low-
priority interfaces is shut down before power to high-priority
interfaces is shut down. Among interfaces that have the same
assigned priority, the power priority is determined by port
number, with lower-numbered ports having higher priority.

If LLDP power priority is enabled, the switch assigns each

interface the power priority provided by the connected LLDP-
enabled powered device rather than the interface’s configured
priority.

On EX6200 and EX8200 switches, priority determines the

interface’s power priority relative to the other interfaces on the
line card, not the interfaces on the switch as a whole. If power
management cannot provide the line card with its full PoE
power budget, PoE power to interfaces with low priority is shut
down first.

telemetries Not included in default When included in the configuration, enables the logging of
configuration power consumption records on an interface. Logging occurs
every 5 minutes for 1 hour unless you specify a different value
for interval (Power over Ethernet) or duration.

Switches

Configuring the PoE Controller on EX2200, EX2300, EX3200, EX3300,

EX3400, EX4200, EX4300 and EX4600 Switches

You can change the management mode or configure a guard band setting for a standalone switch or for
all members of an EX3300 Virtual Chassis, an EX4200 Virtual Chassis, an EX4300 Virtual Chassis, or a
mixed EX4200 and EX4500 Virtual Chassis that supports PoE, or a mixed EX4300 and EX4600 Virtual
Chassis that supports PoE.

To change the management mode, or to configure a guard band setting, use the following command:

• [edit]
user@switch# set poe management mode guard-band watts

For example, to set the management mode to static and to configure a guard band of 15 W:

[edit]
user@switch# set poe management static guard-band 15

NOTE: If the PoE power budget for the switch is insufficient to provide maximum power to all
the PoE ports, we recommend that you do not change the management mode from class to
static. If you change the power management mode to static and do not change the other
default settings, the PoE controller allocates maximum power to the PoE ports in the order of
 27

port number, which means PoE will be disabled on higher-numbered ports when the PoE
power budget runs out.
In class mode, on the other hand, the PoE controller does not allocate power to a port until a
powered device is connected. The class of the connected device determines the amount of
power allocated. Thus in class mode, any PoE port can be used to power a device and all the
PoE ports on the switch can be used as long as the combined power demand does not exceed
the PoE power budget.

NOTE: On EX3200 and EX4200 switches that support enhanced PoE, you must change the
management mode from class to static to take advantage of the higher per-port power limits
of enhanced PoE.

To enable PoE SNMP traps on a standalone switch or on an specific member of a Virtual Chassis, use the
following command:

• [edit]
user@switch# set poe notification-control fpc number

For example, to enable PoE SNMP traps on a standalone switch or on member 0 of a Virtual Chassis:

[edit]
user@switch# set poe notification-control fpc 0

Configuring the PoE Controllers on EX6200 and EX8200 Switches

On EX6200 and EX8200 switches, each line card that supports PoE has its own PoE controller, so PoE
controller options are configured separately for each line card.

In addition, each line card has its own separate, configurable PoE power budget. The default power
budget for a line card is the amount of power needed to supply all PoE ports on the line card with their
maximum supported power. Because there might not be enough power available in a switch to supply
each PoE line card with the default PoE power budget, you can configure smaller power budgets for one
or more line cards, freeing power for other line cards.

To configure a guard band setting, to change the management mode, or to configure the PoE power
budget for a specific line card, use the following command:
 28

• [edit]
user@switch# set poe fpc number guard-band watts management mode maximum-power watts

For example, to configure a PoE budget of 350 W and a guard band of 15 W on line card 1:

[edit]
user@switch# set poe fpc 1 guard-band 15 maximum-power 350

NOTE: If you configure a PoE power budget for a line card that is smaller than the default
power budget, we recommend that you do not change the management mode from class to
static. If you change the power management mode to static and do not change the interface
default settings, the PoE controller allocates maximum power to the PoE ports in the order of
port number. As a result, PoE will be disabled on higher-numbered ports when the PoE power
budget runs out.
In class mode, on the other hand, the PoE controller does not allocate power to a port until a
powered device is connected. The class of the connected device determines the amount of
power allocated. Thus in class mode, any PoE port can be used to power a device and all the
PoE ports on the switch can be used as long as the combined power demand does not exceed
the PoE power budget.

To configure the same guard band value, management mode, or PoE power budget for all line cards in a
switch, use the following command:

• [edit]
user@switch# set poe fpc all guard-band watts management mode maximum-power watts

For example, to configure a PoE budget of 1000 W and static management mode for all line cards in
a switch:

[edit]
user@switch# set poe fpc all management static maximum-power 1000

If you configure different settings for a specific line card, those settings override the settings
configured with the fpc all statement.

To enable PoE SNMP traps on a line card, use the following command:
 29

• [edit]
user@switch# set poe notification-control fpc number

For example, to enable PoE SNMP traps on line card 7:

[edit]
user@switch# set poe notification-control fpc 7

Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports on EX Series switches supply electric power over the same ports that
are used to connect network devices. These ports enable you to plug in devices that require both
network connectivity and electric power, such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and some IP
cameras. This reduces the amount of wiring in a network, and also eliminates the need to position a
powered device near an AC power outlet, making network design more flexible and efficient.

Configuring PoE Interfaces

To configure the PoE interfaces on a switch that supports PoE:

 30

• To configure all PoE interfaces with the same setting or settings:

[edit]
user@switch# set poe interface all options

For example, to enable telemetry collection on all interfaces, using the default collection duration
and interval:

[edit]
user@switch# set poe interface all telemetries

NOTE: For PoE to be enabled on all PoE-capable interfaces, the configuration must include
the interface all statement in the [edit poe] hierarchy level. With the exception of EX8200
switches that were shipped from the factory with a Junos OS release earlier than Release
11.2, the factory default configurations of switches that support PoE include this statement.

• To configure individual PoE interfaces with different settings:

[edit]
user@switch# set poe interface interface-name options

For example:

[edit]
user@switch# set poe interface ge-0/0/0 priority high telemetries duration 24

[edit]
user@switch# set poe interface ge-0/0/1

[edit]
user@switch# set poe interface ge-0/0/5 maximum-power 18.6

[edit]
user@switch# set poe interface ge-5/0/7 disable
 31

When you configure an individual interface, its configuration overrides any settings you configure
with the set poe interface all command. For example, ge-0/0/1 in the preceding example retains the
default settings, regardless of any settings configured with the set poe interface all command.

Topology | 33

The topology used in this example consists of a switch that has 24 ports. Eight of the ports support PoE
(IEEE 802.3af), which means they provide both network connectivity and electric power for powered
devices such as VoIP telephones, wireless access points, and IP security cameras that require 12.95 W or
less. The remaining 16 ports provide only network connectivity. You use the standard ports to connect
devices that have their own power sources, such as desktop and laptop computers, printers, and servers.

Configuring PoE Interface Power Priority

Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports supply electric power over the same ports that are used to connect
network devices. These ports enable you to plug in devices that need both network connectivity and
electric power, such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and some IP cameras.

You can configure a PoE interface to have a power priority. The power priority determines which
interfaces receive power if PoE power demands are greater than the maximum PoE power consumption.
If the total power allocated for all interfaces exceeds the maximum PoE power consumption, PoE power
to lower-priority interfaces is turned off and the power allocated to those interfaces drops to 0.

By default, PoE ports on EX Series switches are set to low power priority. You can configure a PoE port
to have a high power priority setting. If a situation arises where there is not sufficient power for all the
PoE ports, the available power is directed to the higher priority ports. Ports that connect to powered
devices such as security cameras and emergency phones should be configured with a higher power
priority.

Among PoE interfaces that have the same assigned priority, power priority is determined by the port
number, with lower-numbered ports having higher priority.

For EX6200 and EX8200 switches, interface power priority determines the relative priority of the
interfaces on a line card, not on the switch as a whole. The relative priority of interfaces residing on
different line cards is determined by line card priority. For example, if line card 1 has a higher power
priority than line card 2 and a power shortage occurs, power is removed from the PoE interfaces in this
order:

• Low-priority interfaces on line card 2

• High-priority interfaces on line card 2

• Low-priority interfaces on line card 1

• High-priority interfaces on line card 1

You can manually configure PoE interface power priority, or you can enable LLDP power priority, which
assigns each interface the power priority provided by the connected LLDP-enabled powered device.
Table 14 on page 36 describes how the switch converts LLDP power priorities to switch power
priorities.
 36

Table 14: LLDP Power Priority Conversion to Switch Power Priority

NOTE: LLDP power priority requires LLDP power negotiation to be enabled, which is enabled by
default when the PoE management option is set to class.

You can configure the power priority for a PoE port. If a situation arises where there is not sufficient
power for all the PoE ports, the available power is directed to the higher priority ports, while power to
the lower priority ports is shut down as needed.

This example describes how to configure a few high-priority PoE interfaces.

Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:

• One EX Series switch that supports PoE

By default, PoE interfaces are created for all PoE ports and PoE is enabled. The default priority for PoE
interfaces is low.
 39

To quickly set some interfaces to high priority and to include descriptions of the interfaces, copy the
following commands and paste them into the switch terminal window:

[edit]
set poe interface ge-0/0/1 priority high
telemetries
set poe interface ge-0/0/2 priority high
telemetries
set poe interface ge-0/0/3 priority high
telemetries
set poe interface ge-0/0/4 priority high
telemetries
set interfaces ge-0/0/0 description "wireless access
point"
set interfaces ge-0/0/1 description "security camera front
door"
set interfaces ge-0/0/2 description "security camera back
door"
set interfaces ge-0/0/3 description "emergency
phone"
set interfaces ge-0/0/4 description "Executive Office VoIP
phone"
set interfaces ge-0/0/5 description "staff VoIP
phone"
set interfaces ge-0/0/6 description "staff VoIP
phone"
set interfaces ge-0/0/7 description "staff VoIP
phone"

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure PoE interfaces with different priorities:

1. Set the interfaces connected to high-priority powered devices to high priority. Include the telemetries
statement for the high-priority interfaces, thus enabling the logging of power consumption on those
interfaces:

[edit poe]
user@switch# set interface ge-0/0/1 priority high telemetries
user@switch# set interface ge-0/0/2 priority high telemetries
user@switch# set interface ge-0/0/3 priority high telemetries
 40

user@switch# set interface ge-0/0/4 priority high telemetries

2. Provide descriptions for the PoE interfaces:

[edit interfaces]
user@switch# set ge-0/0/0 description "wireless access point"
user@switch# set ge-0/0/1 description "security camera front door"
user@switch# set ge-0/0/2 description "security camera back door"
user@switch# set ge-0/0/3 description "emergency phone"
user@switch# set ge-0/0/4 description "Executive Office VoIP phone"
user@switch# set ge-0/0/5 description "staff VoIP phone"
user@switch# set ge-0/0/6 description "staff VoIP phone"
user@switch# set ge-0/0/7 description "staff VoIP phone"

3. Connect the wireless access point to interface ge-0/0/0. This interface uses the default PoE settings.

4. Connect the two security cameras to interfaces ge-0/0/1 and ge-0/0/2. These interfaces are set to
high priority with telemetries enabled.

5. Connect the emergency VoIP phone to interface ge-0/0/3. This interface is set to high priority with
telemetries enabled.

6. Connect the Executive Office VoIP phone to interface ge-0/0/4. This interface is set to high priority
with telemetries enabled.

7. Connect the staff VoIP phones to ge-0/0/5, ge-0/0/6, and ge-0/0/7. These interfaces use the
default PoE settings.

Meaning

The command output shows the status and configuration of interfaces. For example, the interface
ge-0/0/3 is administratively enabled. Its operational status is ON; that is, the interface is currently
delivering power to a connected powered device. The maximum power allocated to the interface is
7.0 W. The interface has a high power priority. At the time the command was executed, the powered
device was consuming 3.3 W. The IEEE 802.3af class of the powered device is class 2. If the PoE power
management mode is class, the class of the powered device determines the maximum power allocated
to the interface, which is 7 W in the case of class 2 devices.

Perpetual PoE and Fast PoE

Overview

Power over Ethernet (PoE) facilitates the flow of electric power over data cables. With PoE, powered
devices can receive power from the same ports that are used to connect personal computers to the
network. Perpetual PoE and fast PoE deliver PoE more efficiently and predictably from the power
sourcing equipment (PSE) device to the connected powered device (PD).

• Perpetual PoE provides uninterrupted power to connected PDs even when the PSE switch is
rebooting.
 52

• Fast PoE the switch saves PoE power settings across a reboot and powers on the PD once the PSE
starts booting up (within a few seconds of switching on power) without waiting for the boot process
to complete.

Perpetual PoE and fast PoE are complementary features that work independenly of each other. In cases
where perpetual PoE cannot maintain uninterrupted power, such as a power cycle or failure, fast PoE
helps to restore power to the PDs quickly.

Perpetual PoE does not maintain uninterrupted power in the following cases:

• Power failure or power cycle.

• PoE controller firmware update.

• If LLDP power negotiation is enabled on a PoE interface, power to the PD on that interface will be
interrupted even if perpetual POE is configured on the PSE. This is because the the OS must come
online before LLDP packet exchanges between the PSE and PD can take place.

Perpetual PoE and fast PoE are disabled in the following cases:

• System zeroization.

• USB installation.

• Loading the factory default configuration.

Configuring Perpetual PoE and Fast PoE

To configure perpetual PoE and fast PoE, use the following commands:

• To configure perpetual PoE:

[edit]
user@switch# set poe perpetual-poe

• To configure fast PoE:

[edit]
user@switch# set poe fast-poe

Upgrading the PoE Controller Software

IN THIS SECTION

Determining Whether the PoE Controller Software Needs Upgrading | 55

Upgrading the PoE Controller Software | 56

Monitoring the Upgrade Progress | 56

Each Junos OS image for an EX Series switch that supports PoE contains the most recent version of the
PoE controller software at the time the Junos OS image was built. When you upgrade Junos OS on your
switch, the new image might contain a more recent version of the PoE controller software than is
currently running on the PoE controller. You can upgrade your PoE controller software by requesting
that the more recent version of the software contained in the Junos OS image be downloaded to the
controller.

NOTE: Powered devices are not guaranteed to receive power while the new software is being
downloaded to the PoE controller, a process that can take up to 10 minutes. In addition, during
the software download, some PoE operational commands, such as show poe interface, might not
show correct output. We recommend that you upgrade your PoE controller software during a
regularly scheduled maintenance window.

NOTE: On an EX8200 Virtual Chassis, you cannot execute PoE commands on the XRE200
External Routing Engine. You can execute PoE commands only on the member EX8200 switches.
Use the request session member member-id command to open a CLI session on a member switch.

This topic covers:

 55

Determining Whether the PoE Controller Software Needs Upgrading

To determine whether the version of the PoE controller software supplied with Junos OS is more recent
than the version of the software currently running on the PoE controller, enter the following command:

user@switch> show poe controller

Controller Maximum Power Guard Management Status Lldp
index power consumption band Priority
0** 405.00W 0.00W 19W Class AT_MODE Disabled
**New PoE software upgrade available.
Use 'request system firmware upgrade poe fpc-slot <slot>'
This procedure will take around 10 minutes (recommended to be performed during maintenance)

The New PoE software upgrade available text in the output indicates that the PoE controller software is
out-of-date and needs to be upgraded.

For Virtual Chassis or switches with PoE line cards, the output of the show poe controller command
indicates which members of a Virtual Chassis or which PoE line cards have out-of-date PoE controller
software:

user@switch> show poe controller

Controller Maximum Power Guard Management Status Lldp
index power consumption band Priority
2 130.00W 120.34W 0W Class AF_ENHANCE Disabled
4** 410.00W 182.80W 0W Class AF_MODE Disabled
**New PoE software upgrade available.
Use 'request system firmware upgrade poe fpc-slot slot'
This procedure will take around 10 minutes (recommended to be performed during maintenance)

In the preceding example, member 4 of the Virtual Chassis has an out-of-date PoE controller software.

NOTE: We recommend that all member switches of a Virtual Chassis or all line cards in a switch
run the same version of the PoE controller software.
 56

Upgrading the PoE Controller Software

To upgrade the PoE controller software for a standalone switch with built-in PoE interfaces, enter:

user@switch> request system firmware upgrade poe fpc-slot 0

Firmware upgrade initiated. Poe Upgrade takes about 10 minutes
Use 'show poe controller' to get the download status

To upgrade the PoE controller software on a specific Virtual Chassis member or line card on a switch,
enter:

user@switch> request system firmware upgrade poe fpc-slot 8

Firmware upgrade initiated. Poe Upgrade takes about 10 minutes
Use 'show poe controller' to get the download status

To upgrade the PoE controller software on all members of a Virtual Chassis or all line cards on a switch,
enter:

user@switch> request system firmware upgrade poe fpc-slot all-members

Firmware upgrade initiated. Poe Upgrade takes about 10 minutes
Use 'show poe controller' to get the download status

Monitoring the Upgrade Progress

Use the show poe controller command to monitor the progress of the controller software upgrade:

user@switch> show poe controller

Controller Maximum Power Guard Management Status Lldp
index power consumption band Priority
0** 130.00W 0.00W 0W SW_DOWNLOAD(14%) Disabled
**New PoE software upgrade available.
Use 'request system firmware upgrade poe fpc-slot <slot>'
This procedure will take around 10 minutes (recommended to be performed during maintenance)

The Status field is updated during the download process to show the following stages of the download:

• DOWNLOAD_INIT
 57

• SW_DOWNLOAD (n%)

When the software upgrade is complete, the New PoE software upgrade available text is no longer
displayed for the particular FPC.

NOTE: If you are upgrading the PoE controller software to enable enhanced PoE, the Status field
for the controller shows AF_ENHANCE after the upgrade completes, indicating that the
controller now supports enhanced PoE. The default maximum power per port is not
automatically increased as a result of the upgrade—it is still 15.4 W per port. You must explicitly
set the maximum power for a port to 18.6 W. Enhanced PoE is supported in Junos OS Release
11.1 or later on EX3200 switches and on EX4200-P or EX4200-T model switches.

IEEE 802.3bt Overview

IN THIS SECTION

What’s New in IEEE 802.3bt | 58

PoE-bt Feature Support | 59

 58

The IEEE 802.3bt standard (PoE-bt) increases the amount of power that can be delivered to powered
devices over PoE ports. PoE-bt can supply a maximum of 90 W of power by utilizing all four pairs of wire
in a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable.

What’s New in IEEE 802.3bt

The IEEE 802.3bt standard includes enhancements to existing PoE functionality such as power
management, negotiation and classification. For more information on these features, see "Understanding
PoE on EX Series Switches" on page 2.

Four Pair Standard

Previous IEEE PoE standards have used two pairs out of four pairs of twisted wire in an Ethernet cable
to deliver power. The pairs used depend on the mode of PoE operation: mode A or mode B. In mode A,
PoE delivers power on the same pairs used to deliver data (pair 1-2 and pair 3-6). Mode B separates the
power delivery from data delivery by using the spare pairs for power (pair 4-5 and pair 7-8).

PoE-bt is the first IEEE standard to deliver power over all four pairs of wire. Pre-standard
implementations that provided power over four pairs, such as PoE-4P, are replaced by this standard.

Power Class Levels

PoE standards define classes of powered devices based on the levels of power that they require. The
IEEE 802.3bt standard introduces two new types of PoE powered devices, type 3 and type 4, which add
an additional four power class levels (5 through 8). Type 3, which includes classes 5-6, can support up to
60 W of power, and type 4, which includes classes 7-8, can support up to 90 W.

Powered Device Signatures

Before the power sourcing equipment (PSE) can deliver power to a connected powered device (PD), it
performs a series of checks on the PD. The first check is known as signature detection. The PSE uses a
low voltage to measure the resistance of the PD. If the correct level of resistance is detected, the switch
knows that the PD is capable of receiving power. In PoE-bt, signature detection is performed on each
set of pairs: the data pair and the spare pair. The connected PD must present a valid signature for each
pairset to show that it can accept 4-pair power.

The PSE then performs a connection check to determine if the PD is a single-signature or a dual-
signature PD. Single-signature PDs have one signature that applies to both sets of pairs: the data pair
and the spare pair. Dual-signature PDs support two signatures, one for each pairset. Dual-signature PDs
can support two power channels on a single interface, and each channel can support a different power
class.
 59

LLDP Power Negotiation

IEEE 802.3bt supports enhanced power negotiation using Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). LLDP
power negotiation enables the PSE to refine the power allocation to the PD. For example, a PD using
LLDP can request a lower amount of power than it was allocated based on its class designation.

PoE-bt extends the set of fields in the LLDP protocol to allow the PSE and PD to exchange information
about the maximum amount of power that the PSE has available. This is not an allocation, but can be
used to inform the power request from the PD.

Auto-classification

The IEEE 802.3bt standard introduces automatic class functionality. The auto-class feature allows the
PSE to determine the actual maximum power drawn by the PD. The PSE measures the power
consumption of the PD over a defined time period. Based on that measurement, the PSE sets the
maximum power output for the PD.

PoE-bt Feature Support

PoE-bt supports the same features as previous versions of PoE, with the exception of the following,
which are not supported:

• Static power management mode

• Maximum power configuration

• Guard band

The configuration commands for unsupported features are available in PoE-bt. This is to support
configuration of these features in a mixed Virtual Chassis that includes both PoE-at and PoE-bt
members.

Table 16 on page 59 explains the PoE-bt behavior when the commands are configured. For a complete
list of PoE configuration commands and default settings, see "PoE Configurable Options" on page 22.

Upgrading to PoE-BT

Upgrading to a Junos OS release that supports PoE-bt does not enable PoE-bt. You must explicitly
enable PoE-bt by upgrading the PoE controller software.

To upgrade the PoE controller software to PoE-bt, use the following command:

user@switch> request system firmware upgrade poe fpc-slot slot-number poe-bt-firmware

Verifying the Upgrade

To verify that the upgrade was successful, check the PoE firmware version. The PoE firmware should be
upgraded to 3.0 or higher for PoE-bt.

To check the firmware version, use the following command:

user@switch> show chassis firmware detail

Example output before the upgrade:

user@switch> show chassis firmware detail

FPC 0
PoE firmware 2.1.1.19.3
Boot Firmware
uboot ***
Boot Firmware
loader FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader 1.2
 61

Example output after the upgrade:

user@switch> show chassis firmware detail

FPC 0
PoE firmware 3.4.8.0.26
Boot Firmware
U-Boot ***
Boot Firmware
loader FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader 1.2

When you have verified the firmware version, you must reboot the switch to enable PoE-bt. After the
reboot, verify that PoE-bt mode is in effect using the following command:

user@switch> show poe controller

Controller Maximum Power Guard Management Status Lldp
index power consumption band Priority
0 1315W 135.00W 0W Class BT_MODE Disabled

Rollback to PoE-AT

If you load a version of Junos OS that does not support PoE-bt, an alarm will be raised:

user@switch> show chassis alarms

1 alarms currently active
Alarm time Class Description
2019-07-31 08:47:18 UTC Major Junos Version does not support POE 802.3bt standard, POE
Firmware Downgrade Required !!

In this case, you must rollback the PoE firmware to PoE-at.

To rollback to PoE-at, use the following command:

user@switch> request system firmware upgrade poe fpc-slot slot-number poe-at-firmware

Verify the rollback using the same procedure described in "Verifying the Upgrade" on page 60.

To monitor the power consumption of an individual PoE interface (for example, ge-0/0/3), use the
following command:

user@switch> show poe interface ge-0/0/3

PoE interface status:
PoE interface : ge-0/0/3
Administrative status : Enabled
Operational status : ON
Power limit on the interface : 7.0W
Priority : Low
Power consumed : 5.3W
Class of power device : 2
PoE Mode : 802.3at

Meaning

At the time the command was executed, the individual PoE ports were consuming the amount of power
shown. For example, interface ge-0/0/3 was consuming 5.3 W at the time the command was executed.

Power Consumption for PoE Interfaces over Time

IN THIS SECTION

Purpose | 67
 67

Action | 67

Meaning | 68

Purpose

Monitor the power consumption of a PoE interface over a period of time. The records collected remain
available for future viewing.

You can specify the intervals at which power consumption data is collected, from once every minute to
once every 30 minutes. The default is once every 5 minutes. You can also specify the duration over
which the records are collected, from 1 hour (default) to 24 hours.

Action

To collect historical records of PoE interface power consumption and display those records:

1. Add the telemetries statement to the PoE interface configuration:

[edit]
user@switch# set poe interface ge-0/0/5 telemetries interval 10

When you commit the configuration, record collection begins.

2. Display the collected records:

user@switch> show poe telemetries interface ge-0/0/5 count all

Sl No Timestamp Power Voltage
1 03-19-2010 13:00:07 UTC 3.9W 50.9V
2 03-19-2010 12:50:07 UTC 3.9W 50.9V
3 03-19-2010 12:40:07 UTC 3.9W 50.9V
4 03-19-2010 12:30:07 UTC 3.9W 50.9V
5 03-19-2010 12:20:07 UTC 3.9W 50.9V
6 03-19-2010 12:10:07 UTC 3.9W 50.9V

To start another session of record collection on the interface, you must delete the existing telemetries
configuration on the interface and then reconfigure telemetries. Deleting the telemetries configuration
also clears the power consumption history data.
 68

To clear the history of PoE power consumption without deleting the telemetries configuration, use the
command clear poe telemetries interface.

Meaning

Over the hour in which the PoE power consumption data on ge-0/0/5 was collected, the connected
powered device consistently consumed 3.9 W.

Description

Designate how the PoE controller allocates power to the PoE interfaces.

Default

class

Options

• class—The amount of power allocated to the interface is based on the class of the connected
powered device. If LLDP power negotiation is enabled, the powered device can request more or less
power. LLDP power negotiation is enabled by default in class management mode.

If LLDP power negotiation is disabled, the power allocation is determined solely by the class of the
connected powered device. If there is no powered device connected, standard 15.4W power is
allocated on the interface. For more information about disabling LLDP power negotiation, see Device
Discovery Using LLDP and LLDP-MED on Switches.

• static—The amount of power allocated to the interface is determined by the value of the maximum-power
statement, not the class of the connected powered device. This amount is allocated even when a
powered device is not connected to the interface, ensuring that power is available when needed.

NOTE: Static mode is not supported in PoE-bt.

• high-power—(ACX2000 routers only) ACX2000 PoE interfaces support power delivery of up to 65 W

per port using all four pairs of Ethernet RJ45 cables. Traditional PoE ports use only two pairs of
Ethernet cable for power delivery. According to the IEEE 802.3af standard, each port can deliver a
maximum power of up to 32 W. With high-power mode of power delivery over all four pairs, the power
sourcing equipment (PSE) has an option to deliver up to 65 W per port, provided the powered
devices request this high power over all four pairs of the Ethernet cable. By default, high-power mode
is not enabled and has to be explicitly enabled. When the PoE controller is configured for high-power
mode, the PoE controller does not deliver power to normal powered devices that request power over
two pairs.

[edit poe interface (all | all-extended | interface-name)]

Description

Configure the maximum amount of power that the switch can supply to the PoE port. The maximum
power configuration is valid when the PoE power management is in static mode. If PoE power
management is in class mode, which is the default, the maximum power configuration will have no effect
on the power allocation. For more information on power management configuration options, see
management.

NOTE: Maximum power configuration is not supported in PoE-bt (IEEE 802.3bt).

NOTE: A standalone switch’s default setting and range for maximum power does not change if
the switch is configured as a satellite device in a Junos Fusion. For instance, an EX4300 switch
has a 30W default and a range of 0.0 through 30.0 W when configured as a standalone switch
and when it is configured into a satellite device in a Junos Fusion.

Options

watts—The maximum power in watts that can be supplied to the ports.

For EX2200, EX3300, EX4200, EX4300, EX4600, EX6200, and EX8200 switches:

• Range: 0.0 through 30.0

 89

• Default: 15.4 W for ports that support IEEE 802.3af and 30 W for ports that support IEEE 802.3at

For EX3200 switches:

• Range: 0.0 through 18.6

• Default: 15.4 W

NOTE: EX4600 switches support PoE only when operating in a mixed Virtual Chassis with
EX4300 switches.

For ACX2000 routers:

• Range: 1 through 65 W

• Default: 32 W

NOTE: The maximum-power setting permitted by the CLI might be greater than the maximum
power a given PoE port can deliver. For example, the CLI permits you to set any PoE port on an
EX8200 line card to 30 W; however, only ports 0 through 11 support 30 W. Similarly, the CLI
permits you to set any PoE port on an EX4200 switch to 30 W, but some models of EX4200
switch support only 18.6 W per port. If you configure a maximum-power value that is greater
than the maximum power supported by a port, the power allocated to the port will be the
maximum supported.
If you use the all option to set maximum-power to a value greater than 15.4 W on all interfaces
on an EX8200 line card, the maximum power allocated to all ports is 15.4 W.

NOTE: Support for a maximum of 18.6 W per port instead of 15.4 W per port on EX3200
switches and P and T models of EX4200 switch requires Junos OS Release 11.1 or later. In
addition to requiring an upgrade of Junos OS to Release 11.1 or later, switches that are running
an earlier release of Junos OS release require the PoE controller software be upgraded as
described in Upgrading the PoE Controller Software. If the controller software is not upgraded
and you set maximum-power to a value greater than 15.4 W, the configuration is accepted when
you commit it, but the actual power allocated to the port will be 15.4 W.

NOTE: On ACX2000 routers, the power sourcing equipment (PSE) delivers up to 65 W per port,
provided the management mode is set to high-power mode, by using the high-power option at the
 90

[edit poe management] hierarchy level. By default, the management mode is set to static. In the static
mode, the PSE can deliver power up to 32 W.

request system firmware upgrade poe fpc-slot (number | all-members)

<poe-at-firmware | poe-bt-firmware>

Description

Upgrade the PoE controller software on switches and line cards.

The Junos OS image running on the switch contains a copy of the PoE controller software. This
command compares the Junos OS version with the version of the software running on the PoE
controller. If the Junos OS version is a more recent version, the command downloads the more recent
version to the controller.

For all Virtual Chassis except EX8200 Virtual Chassis, execute this command on the primary. The
primary itself need not support PoE for this command to work—for example, you can execute this
command on the primary of a mixed EX4200 and EX4500 Virtual Chassis when the primary is an
EX4500 switch, which does not support PoE. On an EX8200 Virtual Chassis, you must execute this
command on the member switch, not the primary XRE200 External Routing Engine.
 103

We recommend that all members of a Virtual Chassis run the same version of the PoE controller
software.

Upgrading the controller software can take up to 10 minutes. Use the show poe controller command to
monitor the progress of the software download.

NOTE: When you enter the request system firmware upgrade poe command, a message advises you
that the controller software upgrade has started and that it will take about 10 minutes to
complete. This message appears even if the FPC you have specified does not have a PoE
controller or if the PoE controller software is up-to-date. To determine whether or not the
controller software upgrade has actually started, use the show poe controller command.

NOTE: While the upgrade is in progress, power to the powered devices is not guaranteed. We
recommend that you upgrade the controller software during a regularly scheduled maintenance
window.

If you load a version of the Junos OS software that is not compatible with the PoE firmware version, a
major alarm will be raised. See Table 18 on page 103 for firmware compatibility.
