the port status is updated according to the new configuration/mode 0x20 power management function shuts down port due to lack of power port is shut down or remains off 0x26 port fails due to system voltage supply through other port check other port for status 0x24 this error is linked with mask 0x1f enable 0x24 port fails due to voltage being applied to the port from external source 0x25 fail due to out of range capacitor value or fail due to detected short value (when mask 0x04 is set) 0x35 port temperature protection mechanism was activated 0x34 short condition was detected for example,

connected 0x1b interim state during line detection status changes after detection process is completed 0x41 port was not turned on due to hardware power limit (pd class power > hardware class limit) for example, poh pd over m device port 0x43 illegal class 0x45 port is off after the host crash, the port is off and waits for the host command to proceed with new detection cycles the port was delivering power before the host crash but was configured to be forced shut when host crashed 0x46 port is off after the host crash, the port is off and waits for the host command to proceed with the new detection cycles the port was enabled and not delivering power before the host crash and was configured to be forced shut when host crashed 0x47 port is at force power error, according to the ieee

to sc 0xa8 port is not connected 0x12 port does not respond hardware fault, system initialization, or poe controller lost communication with poe port device allocated for this port (part of the refresh function) 0x11 port is not mapped to physical port, port is in unknown state, or poe controller fails to communicate with poe port device allocated for this port 0x91 port matrix 4p and

connection check signature was detected in such a case, detection fail counter is incremented 0xa0 the force power was set, one of the port pair sets stop delivering power, from at least one reason out of various reasons(system related, device related, port related, or pair set related) 0x0c fewer ports are available than the maximum number of ports that the controller can support unavailable ports are considered off currently not used \poe enable\ \[command] poe enable no poe enable \[purpose] enable poe power supply function of the interface \[view] interface view \[use cases] sonic(config)# interface ethernet 1 sonic(config if 1)# poe enable \poe delay\ \[command] poe delay time no poe delay \[purpose] configure the delayed start time of the interface poe function \[parameter] parameter description time range of values 0 3600 \[view] interface view \[usage scenario] this command is used to delay the activation of power over ethernet (poe) power supply on an interface based on actual usage requirements when the uplink link state stabilizes, and the protocols are running correctly, poe power is supplied to the connected poe devices this delay mechanism is useful for ensuring that poe devices receive power only when the network is stable and ready to support them \[use cases] sonic(config)# interface ethernet 1 sonic(config if 1)# poe delay 300 \poe max power\ \[command] poe max power power no poe max power \[purpose] configure the maximum output power of the device \[parameter] parameter description power 60w/30w/15w/30w at the unit is w \[view] system configuration view \[notes] by default, the maximum output power of a device is the power actually provided by the device therefore, the configured maximum output power must be lower than or equal to the total power of poe power modules \[use cases] sonic(config)# poe max power 60w \poe priority {low|high|critical}\ \[command] poe priority {low|high|critical} \[purpose] configure the power priority of a poe interface \[parameter] parameter description critical indicates the highest priority high indicates the second highest priority low indicates the lowest priority \[view] system configuration view \[notes] when the output power of a device is insufficient, the device in automatic power management mode provides power for the interfaces of the higher power supply priorities first and cuts off power of the interfaces of the lower power supply priorities poe switches provide power to pds connected to the interfaces in the sequence in which pds are connected to them by default, the power supply priority of an interface is low \[use cases] sonic(config)# interface ethernet 4 sonic(config if 4)# poe priority high \time range time\ \[command] time range name from date stop to date start no time range \[purpose] configure poe power off time range \[parameter] parameter description name specifies the name of a time range date stop specify the stop time of a time

operation may power off some pd continue? \\\[y/n] y \poe legacy detect enable\ \[command] poe legacy detect enable poe legacy detect disable \[purpose] enable device power supply compatibility detection for pd devices \[view] interface view \[usage scenario] enable compatibility detection for pd devices, allowing the device to detect pd devices that do not comply with the 802 3af or 802 3at standards and supply power to these pd devices if the compatibility check for pd devices is not enabled, the device will not recognize non standard pd devices and will be unable to supply power to them \[use cases] sonic(config)# interface ethernet 1 sonic(config if 1)# poe legacy detect disable \poe reinitialize\ \[command] poe reinitialize \[purpose] initialize poe feature \[view] system configuration view \[usage scenario] if the device has not been initialized for poe at the factory, this command can be used for manual initialization after executing this command, a device reboot is not required, but all poe functionalities will be automatically disabled once initialization is complete, poe will be enabled again \[use cases] sonic(config)# poe reinitialize \poe pd alive check enable\ \[command] poe pd alive check enable no poe pd alive check enable \[purpose] enable the poe pd alive check detection function on the interface \[view] interface view \[usage scenario] it detects the status of the peer device by pinging the configured ip address if the number of consecutive failed detection attempts exceeds the set threshold, it will generate a warning alarm in the logs and execute the configured action \[use cases] sonic(config)# interface ethernet 1 sonic(config if 1)# poe pd alive check enable \poe pd alive check ip\ \[command] poe pd alive check ip ip address no poe pd alive check ip \[purpose] configure the ip address for poe pd alive check detection \[view] interface view \[parameter] parameter description ip address support ipv4 address and ipv6

description number the threshold for the number of poe pd alive check detection errors; unit seconds; range 1 10 \[usage scenario] when the number of times the device detects that the ip is unreachable is greater than or equal to the configured error count threshold, the configured action will be triggered and a warning alarm log will be generated \[use cases] sonic(config)# interface ethernet 1 sonic(config if 1)# poe pd alive check err threshold 10 \poe pd alive check action {reboot|alarm}\ \[command] poe pd alive check action {reboot|alarm} no poe pd alive check action \[purpose] configure the action to be taken after a poe pd alive check detection abnormality \[view] interface view \[parameter] parameter description reboot when an anomaly is triggered, only a warning alarm log is generated alarm when an anomaly is triggered, both a warning alarm log is generated and the interface's poe function is restarted this action is default \[use cases]
