Profile

The Profile that has been selected for a port. This can take one of the following values:

Guaranteed — The device on the port has power reserved for it, as listed in the Limited To column.

Not Guaranteed — The device on the port has no power reserved for it. It will receive power if the switch is below its maximum power budget, and all ports with higher priorities are receiving power.

Limited To

The power that has been guaranteed to a device. If no power has been guaranteed, a hyphen ('-') is displayed and the port is limited to 15.4 watts as defined in the Power over Ethernet specification (IEEE 802.3af-2003).

Current

The power that is currently supplied to a port. If no power is currently supplied, a hyphen ('-') is displayed.

Peak

The maximum power that has been supplied by a port since the counter was last reset.

The following example can be used to verify that the switch can auto-detect the PDs and supply power to them.

Plug the Avaya 4620, 4612 and 4602SW IP phones into ports 1-3.
