Network > Interfaces > PoE

You can configure power over Ethernet (PoE) on supported interfaces to transfer electrical power from the firewall to a connected powered device (PD). This screen displays a summary of the PoE configuration across all interfaces as well as the power budget, allocation, and use defined by your PoE settings.

The following table outlines each column of the Interfaces PoE Details table.

Column	Description
Interface	The interface name and its corresponding physical port.
PoE Enabled	Indicates Yes if PoE is enabled on the interface.
Operational Status	Displays the current status of PoE on the interface. Consult the Legend table to help determine the values in this column.
Connection Check	Displays if a connection is present between the firewall and a powered device.
Class	Displays PoE class information based on power output, power supply type, and IEEE standards.
Allocated Power (W)	The amount of power in Watts allocated by the interface.
Used Power (W)	The amount of power in Watts currently being used by the interface.
Consumed Power (W)	The amount of power in Watts that has been consumed by the interface.
Rsvd Power/Max Power (W)	The amount of power reserved by the interface over the maximum power potential in Watts.
Faults	Displays details if the PoE connection has encountered an error on the given port.
Reason for Blacklist	Displays details for ports that have been blacklisted. None denotes that a port is not blacklisted.
