Perpetual POE
The Perpetual POE provides uninterrupted power to connected PD device even when the PSE switch is booting.
![]() Note | Power to the ports will be interrupted in case of MCU firmware upgrade and ports will be back up immediately after the upgrade. |
Fast POE
Fast PoE - This feature remembers the last power drawn from a particular PSE port and switches on power the moment AC power is plugged in (within 15 to 20 seconds of switching on power) without waiting for IOS to boot up. When poe-ha is enabled on a particular port, the switch on a recovery after power failure, provides power to the connected endpoint devices within short duration before even the IOS forwarding starts up.
![]() Note | Fast POE is supported on Catalyst 3850 only. |
![]() Note | In case of UPOE, even though Fast POE is available on the switch side, the PD endpoints may not be able to take advantage of the same, due to the reliance on LLDP to signal the UPOE power availability. This reliance on LLDP requires that the PD endpoint still needs to wait till the IOS comes up and LLDP packet exchanges can happen, signaling the availability of UPOE power. |
