PoE configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 492, GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 are connected to IP telephones.

GigabitEthernet 1/0/11 is connected to AP whose maximum power does not exceed 9000 milliwatts.

The IP telephones have a higher power supply priority than the AP so the PSE supplies power to the IP telephones first if the PSE power is overloaded.
