I had a fluke tool that did this.

Visiting the Fluke homepage points me that my old tool is discontinued, and
this is the new tool"

Specifically, states:

Power over Ethernet (PoE)Single ended testing:

   - User-defined testing to IEEE 802.3at class 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 without LLDP
   negation, or 4 with LLDP negotiation
   - The following PSE PoE parameters are measured:
      - Received class
      - PSE type
      - Unloaded voltage(V)
      - Pairs used
      - Loaded voltage(V)
      - Loaded power(W)



Inline testing between PSE and PD devices:

   - PoE Negotiation between PSE and PD
   - The following PoE parameters are measured:
      - Pairs used
      - Voltage(V)
      - Current(mA)
      - Power(W)

DNS server, gateway - See more at:
