A device is connected to a Switch 5500-EI PWR or Switch 5500G-EI
but power is not being supplied
If power is not being supplied to a device connected to a Switch 5500
PWR, you should do the following checks:
■ Check that the device is compliant with the 802.3af standard ref. [18].
The 5500-EI PWR will supply power through the front panel ports to
802.3af compliant and many pre-standard devices.
■ Check that power budget for the switch has not been exceeded.
If the power budget has been exceeded, then by default, the powered
device connected to the Power over Ethernet port with the lowest
priority port will lose power. However, if all the devices connected to
the switch have equal priority levels, then the port with the highest
number will lose power.
By default, the switch will allow a device to receive power as long as
Power over Ethernet power supply has 18 watts spare in its power
budget. If this much power is not available, the device will not be
powered (unless it has a higher priority than existing powered ports)
and a PoE fault will be reported for that port. If enough power
subsequently becomes available, the port will be powered.
■ Check that the port has not had a power limit imposed on it.
The Switch 5500 PWR units do not provide PoE on the Gigabit SFP ports.
Solving Fabric
Formation
Problems
If you are having problems with correctly forming a fabric, first ensure
that Spanning Tree is enabled. If it is enabled, do the following:
1 Power off all units in the fabric.
2 Check all the cable connections in the fabric.
3 Check the ports have been enabled as fabric ports.
4 Power on all units in the fabric.
