POE PROFILE CONFIGURATION
Introduction to
PoE Profile
On a large-sized network or a network with mobile users, to help network
administrators to monitor the PoE features of the switch, 3Com Switch 5500 Family
have provided PoE Profile features.
Features of PoE Profile:
■ Various PoE Profiles can be created. PoE policy configurations applicable to
different user groups are stored in the corresponding PoE Profiles. These PoE
Profiles can be applied to the ports used by the corresponding user groups.
■ When users connect a PD device to the port that currently has PoE Profile stored,
the switch will automatically apply the PoE configuration defined in the
corresponding port’s PoE Profile to the PD device.
