1. Introduction
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows both power and data to be simultaneously carried over
standard Ethernet cables. PoE-enabled Ethernet switches can supply power directly to Ethernet
devices, thereby simplifying installation and removing the need for separate power supplies for
those devices. The IEEE 802.3af standard defines the mechanisms for Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE), such as PoE-enabled Ethernet switches, to detect, classify, and supply power
to Powered Devices (PDs), such as PoE-enabled IP telephones. The Avaya ERS 4548GT-PWR
switch provides 48 10/100/1000 Mbps ports that are PoE capable.
Figure 1 shows the configuration used for PoE testing.

3. Configuration of the Avaya Endpoints

There is no configuration requirement on the Avaya endpoints to use PoE. For details on
configuring Avaya Communication Manager Servers, Gateways, or Endpoints, consult the
Administrator Guide for Avaya Communication Manager [1].

4. Configuration of the Avaya ERS 4548GT-PWR Switch
The configuration steps below focus on the basic commands used for PoE on the 4548GT-PWR.
Additional configuration details are available in the Configuration Guide [2].
A serial port on a PC was used to connect to the serial port of the 4548GT-PWR switch. A
standard terminal emulator was running on the PC. When connected to the switch, the main
screen appears and displays the switch model and software versions, as shown below:

The user must press “Ctrl-Y” to enter the Command Line Interface (CLI). The user must be in
“enable” mode to execute the commands that follow.
4548GT-PWR>enable
4548GT-PWR#
The 4548GT-PWR switch is enabled to provide PoE on a port by default. The “poe poe-
shutdown” command can be used to disable PoE on a port. The commands below show an
example to disable PoE on port 2.
4548GT-PWR# config t
4548GT-PWR(config)#interface FastEthernet 2
4548GT-PWR(config-if)#poe poe-shutdown

To enable PoE on a port, the “no poe-shutdown” command can be used. The commands below
show an example to enable PoE on port 2.
4548GT-PWR# config t
4548GT-PWR(config)#interface FastEthernet 2
4548GT-PWR(config-if)#no poe-shutdown
5. Observations
Table 1 shows the detected class and power allocated from the 4548GT-PWR switch. IP
Telephones were connected directly to the switch. Cables of different lengths were used. Cable
length and impedance affects power usage, so the measurements listed here may vary based on
the cable used. The power measurements reported here are only for reference purposes, and
reflect average consumption in an on-hook idle state.

6. Verification Steps
The following commands can be used with the 4548GT-PWR to display the device class
detected and power provided.
The “show poe-main-status” command can be used to show the global PoE switch status.
4548GT-PWR#show poe-main-status
PoE Main Status - Stand-alone
--------------------------------------------------
Available DTE Power : 320 Watts
DTE Power Status : Normal
DTE Power Consumption : 3 Watts
DTE Power Usage Threshold : 80 %
Traps Control Status : Enable
PD Detect Type : 802.3af and Legacy
Power Source Present : AC Only
AC Power Status : Present
DC Power Status : Not Present
The “show poe-port-status” or “show poe-port-status port” commands can be used to show the
port PoE status. The example below shows this information for port 4.
4548GT-PWR#show poe-port-status 4
Admin Current Limit
Port Status Status Classification (Watts) Priority
---- ------- ----------------- -------------- ------- --------
4 Enable Delivering Power 1 16 Low
The “show poe-power-measurement” or “show poe-power-measurement port” commands can be

used to show the power used on a PoE port. The example below shows this information for port
4.
4548GT-PWR#show poe-power-measurement 4
Port Volt(V) Current(mA) Power(Watt)
---- ------- ----------- ---------------
4 47.7 56 2.600
