HUAWEI QUIDWAY S5700 HOW-TO TIME SCHEDULED POE

www.ipmax.it

SETTING TIME SCHEDULED POE At this time energy costs are slowly growing day by day. Within each network infrastructure, energy conservation

has become very important to be considered by all businesses. In a network infrastructure that include hundreds of

POE IP phones, you can save hundreds of kWh per year and $ by switching off all unused POE IP phones during

non-business hours. In the description of this basic procedure we will assume that we are able to log in to the switch

through telnet or through the console port. We desire to power off a specific port of the switch for a specific period

of time. At the end of specified period of time POE will resume automatically.

[Huawei] time-range Telephony 19:00 to 23:59 working-day

[Huawei] time-range Telephony 00:00 to 07:00 working-day

[Huawei] time-range Telephony 00:00 to 23:59 off-day

Enter the configuration view

Define a time range, setting a name.

Here «Telephony». Then set this period

inside a week. Options available are

«working-day» or «off-day» for

weekend days.

Never assign a time range as 19:00 to 07:00. This will cause an error, instead use multiple line to cover all the day round if multiple intervals are desired

1. First of all set a time range

ASSIGN TIME SCHEDULED POE TO A SPECIFIC INTERFACE

[Huawei] interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1

[Huawei-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] poe power-off time-range Telephony

[Huawei-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit

[Huawei] quit

<Huawei>

2. Select interface to apply POE scheduling

Apply the time range previously defined, at the interface

VERIFYING POE SETUP
