Power over Ethernet Support on SRX Series Services Gateway Interfaces

Power over Ethernet (PoE) supports the implementation of the IEEE 802.3 af and IEEE 802.3 at standards, which allow both data and electric power to pass over a copper Ethernet LAN cable.

The SRX550 and SRX650 Services Gateways provide PoE ports, which supply electric power over the same ports that are used for connecting network devices. PoE ports allow you to plug in devices that require both network connectivity and electric power, such as voice over IP (VoIP) and IP phones and wireless access points.

The PoE ports for the SRX550 and SRX650 Services Gateway reside on the individual XPIMs. The services gateway supports the following XPIMs with PoE:

The active Services and Routing Engine manages the overall system PoE power. You can configure the services gateway to act as power sourcing equipment to supply the power to the GPIMs connected on the designated PoE ports.

Table 11 lists the SRX550 and SRX650 Services Gateway PoE specifications.
