Introduction

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is the implementation of the IEEE 802.3 AF and IEEE 802.3 AT standards, that allows both data and electrical power to pass over a copper Ethernet LAN cable.

The PoE is supported on SRX210 Services Gateway (PoE and voice models) and SRX240 Services Gateway (PoE and voice models).

The SRX series devices support PoE on Ethernet ports. PoE ports transfer electrical power and data to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network. PoE ports allow you to plug in devices that require both network connectivity and electrical power, such as VOIP and IP phones and wireless LAN access points.

You can configure the SRX series device to act as a power sourcing equipment (PSE) that supplies power to powered devices (PD) that are connected on designated ports.
