Enhance switch PoE port settings 7.2.4

Starting in FortiOS 7.2.4 with FortiSwitchOS 7.2.3, you can configure the following PoE port settings on managed switches:

• Port mode—You can set the port mode to IEEE802.3 AF or IEEE802.3 AT.

• Port priority—You can set the port priority to critical, high, medium, or low. If there is not enough power, power is allotted first to critical-priority ports, then to high-priority ports, then to medium-priority ports, and then to low-priority ports. Medium priority is available only on the following models: FS-224D-FPOE, FS-224E-POE, FS-248E-POE, FS-248E-FPOE, FS-424E-POE, FS-424E-FPOE, FS-M426E-FPOE, FS-448E-POE, FS-448E-FPOE, FS-524D-FPOE, and FS-548D-FPOE.

• Port power—You can set the port to use normal, power, perpetual power, or perpetual-fast power. Refer to the FortiSwitchOS feature matrix to see which FortiSwitch models support this feature.

Port power setting	Description
normal	PoE power is not provided while a switch restarts.
perpetual	PoE power is provided during a soft reboot (switch is restarted while powered up).
perpetual-fast	PoE power is provided during a hard reboot (the switchʼs power is physically turned off and then on again).

To configure the PoE port settings:

config switch-controller managed-switch

edit <FortiSwitch_serial_number>

config ports

edit <port_name>

set poe-port-mode {IEEE802_3AF | IEEE802_3AT}

set poe-port-priority {critical-priority | high-priority | low-priority | medium-priority}

set poe-port-power {normal | perpetual | perpetual-fast}

next

end
