Which two Power over Ethernet (PoE) features on the ICX will be enabled by the inline power poe-ha command? (Choose two.)
Suggested Answer: B,D Vote an answer
The inline power poe-ha command on RUCKUS ICX switches enables two key Power over Ethernet (PoE) features:
* Fast Boot PoE: This feature ensures that PoE power is delivered to connected devices immediately upon switch startup, without waiting for the entire system to boot up. This is crucial for devices that need to be operational as soon as possible, such as IP phones or security cameras. To enable Fast Boot PoE, enter interface configuration mode and execute the command:
inline power poe-ha
This command ensures that PoE is delivered promptly during the boot process.
* Perpetual PoE: This feature maintains PoE power to connected devices even when the switch undergoes a soft reboot or firmware upgrade. It ensures uninterrupted power delivery, preventing devices from losing power during such events. To enable Perpetual PoE, use the same command in interface configuration mode:
By configuring this command, the switch provides continuous PoE power during reboots.
