1. Introduction These Application Notes describe the Power Over Ethernet configuration of the Extreme Networks Summit X250e-48p Switch and Extreme Networks Summit X450e-24p Switch, to support the Avaya 9608, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G IP s registered to Avaya Aura Session Manager and Avaya Aura Communication Manager. Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows both power and data to be simultaneously carried over standard Ethernet cables. PoE-enabled Ethernet switches can supply power directly to Ethernet devices, thereby simplifying installation and removing the need for separate power supplies for those devices. The IEEE 802.3af standard defines the mechanisms for Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), such as PoE-enabled Ethernet switches, to detect, classify, and supply power to Powered Devices (PDs), such as PoE-enabled IP telephones. The Extreme Networks Summit X250e-48p switch provides 48 ports with PoE. The Extreme Networks Summit X450e-24p switch provides 24 ports with PoE. The 96x1 IP telephones are part of the 96xx family. They build on existing 96xx functionality and user interface concepts. They run on a Wind River Linux Operating System and provide better performance at a lower cost than the 96xx phones. The 96x1 IP telephones include the 9608, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G models.

Figure 1 shows the configuration used for PoE. Figure 1: PoE Configuration 2. Equipment and Software Validated The following equipment and software were used for the configuration provided: EQUIPMENT SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE VERSION Avaya S8510 Server Avaya Aura Session Manager 6.0 (6.0.0.0.600020) Avaya S8510 Server Avaya Aura System Manager 6.0 (6.0.0.0-556) Avaya S8300D Server with Avaya G450 Media Avaya Aura Communication Manager Gateway R6.0 (R016x.00.0.345.0) with Patch 00.0345.0- Edition 9608 IP Edition 9611G IP Edition 9621G IP Edition 9641G IP Extreme Networks Summit X450e-24p Extreme Networks Summit X250e-48p 18246 Extreme XOS v11.4.0.20 Extreme XOS v12.0.1.11 3 of 7
3. Configuration of the Avaya IP s There is no configuration requirement on the Avaya IP telephones to use PoE. For details on configuring Avaya Aura Session Manager, Avaya Aura Communication Manager, or Avaya IP s, consult References [1], [2], and [3]. 4. Configuration of the Extreme Network Switches The configuration steps below focus on the basic commands used for PoE on the Extreme switches. Additional configuration details are available in the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide [4]. The Extreme Networks Summit X250e-48p and Extreme Networks Summit X450e-24p use Extreme XOS, and therefore the commands listed here apply to both switches. PoE is enabled by default in the Extreme Networks Summit switches. If the configuration has changed, PoE can be enabled on a port by using the command enable inline-power port. The example below enables PoE on port 19. X250e-48p # enable inline-power port 19 If the port parameter is not specified, PoE will be enabled on all the ports. X250e-48p # enable inline-power The command disable inline-power can be used to disable PoE on a port when a device attached to it does not use PoE. The example below disables PoE on port 19. X250e-48p # disable inline-power port 19 If the port parameter is not specified, PoE will be disabled on all the ports. X250e-48p # disable inline-power 4 of 7
5. Observations The following table shows power classification and measured power reported by Extreme Networks Summit X450e-24p and Extreme Networks Summit X250e-48p switches. IP s were connected directly to the switch. Cables of different lengths were used. Cable length and impedance affects power usage, so the measurements listed here may vary based on the cable used. In addition, the power measured for a given port may vary slightly from time to time but will stay in a small range. The power measurements reported here are either the most reported value or the average value and are only for reference purposes. Avaya Powered Device Edition 9608 IP Edition 9611G IP Edition 9621G IP Edition 9641G IP 802.3af Class Measured Power While Idle (W) X450e-24p Measured Power While Idle (W) X250e-48p 1 1.9 1.9 1 2.5 2.2 2 2.8 2.5 2 2.6 2.3 6. Verification Steps When the IP s are properly powered, the IP s should register and receive dial tone when they are off-hook. If the IP s are not receiving power, check the cable used and check the port configuration to ensure PoE was enabled on the port. The show inline-power config port command can be used to see if PoE is enabled on a port. The example below shows PoE is enabled on port 19. X250e-48p # show inline config port 19 Port Config Operator Limit Priority Label 19 Enabled 15400 mw Low The show inline-power info port command can be used to see the amount of power being delivered and the Class. The example below shows this information for port 19. X250e-48p # show inline info port 19 Port State Class Volts Curr Power Fault (ma) (Watts) 19 delivering class1 50.1 40 2.0 None 5 of 7
7. Conclusion These Application Notes described the configuration of the Avaya 96x1 IP s including 9608, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G with Extreme Network switches. The Extreme Networks switches were able to provide PoE for the Avaya IP s to work properly. 8. Additional References The Avaya product documentation is available at http://support.avaya.com.
