5.17.3 Monitor LLDP PoE

The LLDP Neighbor Power over Ethernet Information page provides a status overview for all LLDP PoE neighbors. The displayed table contains a row for each interface on which an LLDP PoE neighbor is detected.

Figure 5-75. LLDP Neighbor PoE Information

The LLDP Neighbor Power over Ethernet Information page has the following parameters:

  • Local Interface: The interface for this switch on which the LLDP frame was received.
  • Power Type: The Power Type represents whether the device is a Power Sourcing Entity (PSE) or PD. If the Power Type is unknown, it is represented as Reserved.
  • Power Source: The Power Source represents the power source being utilized by a PSE or PD device

    If the device is a PSE device, then it can either run on its primary power source or its backup power source.

    If it is unknown whether the PSE device is using its primary power source or its backup power source, it is indicated as Unknown.

    If the device is a PD device, it can either run on its local power supply or it can use the PSE as power source. It can also use both its local power supply and the PSE.

    If it is unknown what power supply the PD device is using it is indicated as Unknown.

  • Power Priority: Power Priority represents the priority of the PD device, or the power priority associated with the PSE type device's interface that is sourcing the power. There are three levels of power priority. The three levels are: Critical, High, and Low. If the power priority is unknown, it is indicated as Unknown.
  • Maximum Power: The Maximum Power Value contains a numerical value that indicates the maximum power in watts required by a PD device from a PSE device, or the minimum

    power a PSE device is capable of sourcing over a maximum length cable based on its current configuration.
