1. Introduction
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows both power and data to be simultaneously carried over
standard Ethernet cables. PoE-enabled Ethernet switches can supply power directly to Ethernet
devices, thereby simplifying installation and removing the need for separate power supplies for
those devices. The IEEE 802.3af standard defines the mechanisms for Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE), such as PoE-enabled Ethernet switches, to detect, classify, and supply power
to Powered Devices (PDs), such as PoE-enabled IP telephone. In the compliance-tested
configuration described in these Application Notes, the Extreme Networks 8500-G48T-e module
with 8800 S-POE service module is configured to supply inline PoE to Avaya PDs. No Extreme
Networks specific configuration is required on Avaya Aura® Communication Manager or Avaya
Aura® Session Manager to support this solution.
The 8500-G48T-e is a single slot module offering 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connectivity for
the BlackDiamond (BD) 8800 series Ethernet switch. The 8800 S-POE service module is
installed to provide PoE capability.
As illustrated in Figure 1, the Avaya IP Telephones covered in these Application Notes include
the following:
Avaya 1603 IP Telephone with PoE Splitter
Avaya 1603SW IP Telephone with PoE Splitter
Avaya 1608 IP Telephone
Avaya 1616 IP Telephone with/without BM32 Button Module
Avaya 9601 IP Telephone
Avaya 9608 IP Telephone
Avaya 9611G IP Telephone
Avaya 9620L IP Telephone

2. General Test Approach and Test Results
The general test approach was to:
Connect the Avaya IP Telephones to ports on the 8500-G48T-e module and verify that
they successfully boot.
Verify completion of a test call.
Power-cycle the 8500-G48T-e module and verify successful boot operation and
registration of the devices
2.1. Interoperability Compliance Testing
The interoperability testing focused on verifying PoE interoperability between the Extreme
Networks 8500-G48T-e module, Avaya IP Telephones.
The power tests included verification of the following after the powered device was connected to
the switch:
Successful boot operation (PoE).
For SIP Avaya IP Telephones, successful registration with Avaya Aura® Session
Manager.
For H.323 Avaya IP Telephones, successful registration with Avaya Aura®
Communication Manager.
Completion of a test call.
Connecting a mix of Avaya IP Telephones to the switch, power cycling the switch and
verifying successful boot operation and registration of the devices to with Avaya Aura®
Session Manager and Avaya Aura® Communication Manager.
2.2. Test Results
All Power over Ethernet test cases completed successfully. The 8500-G48T-e module
successfully provided inline power to the different Avaya IP telephones. During compliance
testing, Avaya IP Telephones successfully obtained power and transferred data over standard
Ethernet cables from the Extreme Networks 8500-G48T-e module.

5. Configure Avaya Telephony Equipment
Connect to the Extreme BlackDiamond 8810. Log in using the appropriate Login ID and
Password.
Login:
Password:
BD-8810.1#
BD-8810.2# configure vlan <VLAN NAME> delete ports <port>
BD-8810.3# create vlan vlan100
BD-8810.4# configure vlan100 ipaddress 10.32.100.254/24

There is no configuration requirement on Avaya Aura® Communication Manager, Avaya Aura®
Session Manager or Avaya IP telephones to use the 8500 G48T-e 48 PoE module. It is assumed
that all Aura® Telephony components, appropriate licenses and authentication files have been
configured already, e.g., trunks, dial plans, etc, and will not be covered in this document. For
detailed information on the installation, maintenance, and configuration of Communication
Manager and Session Manager, please reference [1], [2], and [3].
6. Configure BlackDiamond 8810 Chassis
This section shows the necessary steps in configuring the 8500-G48T-e module installed in the
BlackDiamond 8810 chassis as shown in the Figure 1.
Install the BD 8800 S-POE power module onto the 8500-G48T-e. Insert the 8500-G48T-e back
into the BD 8810 chassis. In-line power is enabled by default; the configuration of the VLANs
and ports required to support the environment in Figure 1 are shown below:
1. Log into the Extreme BlackDiamond 8810 Switch.
2. If any of the ports are configured with VLAN information use the configure vlan <VLAN
NAME> delete ports <port> command to delete it.
3. Create VLAN 100 and add ports to the VLAN.
