PoE/PoE+ and SFP/SFP+ Support
SonicWall appliances do not support PoE/PoE+, but this functionality can be added with certain switches, as shown in X-Series switch PoE/PoE+ and SFP/SFP+ support. This additional functionality enhances SonicWave usage by SonicWall appliances, especially for new SonicWaves supporting 802.11ac (supports up to 30W maximum power; 802.11a/b/g/h supports up to 15.4 W maximum power).
Some X-Series switches also support SFP/SFP+, as shown in X-Series switch PoE/PoE+ and SFP/SFP+ support.
Configuration of the PoE/PoE+ ports on the X-Series switch is managed from the UI of the X-Series switch and not through NETWORK | System > PortShield Groups on the SonicWall appliance.
| This X-Series switch | Supports |
|---|---|
| X1008 | 1 PoE PD port; by default, port 8 is the PD port |
| X1008P | 8 PoE ports, up to 123W total; by default, ports 1 through 8 support PoE |
| X1018 | 2 1GbE SFP ports; by default, ports 17 and 18 support SFP |
| X1018P |
16 PoE ports, up to 246W total; by default, ports 1 through 16 support PoE 2 1GbE SFP ports; by default, ports 17 and 18 support SFP |
| X1026 | 2 1GbE SFP ports; by default, ports 25 and 26 support SFP |
| X1026P |
24 PoE/12 PoE+ ports, up to 369W total; by default:
2 1GbE SFP ports; by default, ports 25 and 26 support SFP |
| X1052 | 4 10GbE SFP+ ports; by default, ports 49 through 52 support SFP+ |
|
X1052P |
24 PoE/12 PoE+ ports, up to 369W total; by default:
4 10GbE SFP+ ports; by default, ports 49 through 52 support SFP+ |
| X4012 | 12 10GbE SFP+ ports; by default, ports 1 through 12 support SFP+ |
A SonicWave AC without an external power source must be portshielded through ports 1 through 12 on an X1026P or X1052P X-Series switch.
Any SonicWave non-AC model without an external power source can be portshielded through ports 1 through 8 (X1008P), 1 through 16 (X1018P), or 1 through 24 (X1026P and X1052P).
Any SonicWave with an external power source can be portshielded to any Ethernet port.
