How to enable full 802.3bt power on 7150-C10ZP ports?

Greg_WiGuy — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 12:07:23 GMT

We have a couple of these deployed supporting the R760 which is uplinked at 2.5Gbps. Currently all APs are reporting that they are only connected to a 802.3at capable switch. The datasheet for the ICX 7150 states that the 7150-C10ZP has 4x 802.3bt ready ports but I cant find any documents that get into the specifics for the 7150-C10ZP.

Which ports support 802.3bt and how do I enable it?

When I try to set the inline power by class on any port, I get the following. It's as if the switch doesn't support going past 802.3at power.

Hi Greg_WiGuy,

The PoH ports (i.e. 802.3bt) on the 7150-C10ZP are ports 7 and 8. This can be seen in the Hardware Installation Guide: https://docs.commscope.com/bundle/icx7150-installguide/page/GUID-98DBADCF-277F-4450-8A0B-58A4F9161799.html

Cheers,

Sunny

Thanks Sunny,
Its odd that the spec sheet says there are 4 full 802.3bt ports but the install guide only mentions two. I'll report back here if we find out that those C1 and C2 ports are also .3bt capable.
