How to enable Dynamic PoE power on the ICX switches:

Chandini
RUCKUS Team Member

The power management on the ICX switches until version 9010 have Static Power Management only where we have inline power enabled on the interface by default.

Dynamic Power management helps with dynamic power allocation on the ports based on power consumed by the end device connected to the switch.

Supported Models

  • ICX 7550
  • ICX 7650
  • ICX 8200

Supported version.

  • 10.0.10 and higher

Using Static Power Management on the Switch:

Command:

Ruckus(config)#inline power

Output:

Ruckus(config)#show poe

Power Capacity:         Total is 124000 mWatts. Current Free is 64000 mWatts.

Power Allocations: Requests Honored 8 times

Using Dynamic Power Management on the Switch:

Command and options:

Ruckus(config)#inline power allocation

  dynamic   Move from Static allocation to Consumption based Power allocation -

            CAUTION: PDs can get shutdown, make sure overall consumption

            doesn't exceed the budget

Ruckus(config)#inline power allocation dynamic

  ASCII string   all or unit-id list:  2,3,5-7,8 (no space)

Ruckus(config)#inline power allocation dynamic all

Output:

Ruckus(config)#show poe

(*) Allocated power being dynamically managed.

Using Dynamic Power Management on the Switch with Priority:

The devices which are mission critical Priority can be assigned to those end devices using below command.

Command and options:

Ruckus(config)#int e 1/1/1

Ruckus(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)#inline power priority

  DECIMAL   Priority value 1..3 (highest..lowest)

  <cr>

Ruckus(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)#inline power priority 1

Output:

Ruckus(config)#show poe
