PoE support on 6148 Linecard

[Mikey John]

Hi,

 I have a WS-C6509-E switch with WS-SUP32-10GE-3B installed. It has a mix of WS-X6148A-GE-TX and WS-X6148A-GE-45AF linecards. 

Could you please let me know if WS-X6148A-GE-TX linecard supports PoE functionality? 

Cheers

Mikey

Hi @Mikey John,

Could you please let me know if WS-X6148A-GE-TX linecard supports PoE functionality? 

Not on its own, but, it is possible with a Daughter Cards.
I leave you what the datasheet says and the links about it.

Product ID	Primary Application	Ports, Connector, Maximum Distance, and Cable Type	PoE	PoE+	Maximum Frame Size jumbo frame Support	Queues per Port (Tx = Transmit,  Rx = Receive1	Buffer Size/Port

Thanks Lui. What does "Field-upgradable to Cisco Prestandard and IEEE 802.3af" mean?

Hi @Mikey John,

It means that with the indicated additivity, it can get to support Cisco Prestandard and 802.3af.

Now, what is the difference between Cisco Prestandard and 802.3af?

Check the answer in this community discussion:
