HP ProCurve 2520 Manually Configuring PoE Power Levels, poe­, show, value, allocate-by, power-over-ethernet, Table 11-1.Power Classes and Their Values

	Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Operation
	Configuring PoE Operation
Table 11-1. Power Classes and Their Values
Power Class	Value
0	Depends on cable type and PoE architecture. Maximum
	power level output of 15.4 watts at the PSE.
	This is the default class; if there isn’t enough information
	about the load for a specific classification, the PSE
	classifies the load as class 0 (zero).
1	Requires at least 4 watts at the PSE.
2	Requires at least 7 watts at the PSE.
3	15.4 watts
4	For PoE+
	Maximum power level output of 30 watts at the PSE.

For example, to allocate by class for ports 6 - 8:

ProCurve(config)# int 6-8 PoE-allocate-by class

Manually Configuring PoE Power Levels

You can specify a power level (in watts) allocated for a port by using the value option. This is the maximum amount of power that will be delivered.

To configure a port by value, first set the PoE allocation by entering the poe­ allocate-by value command:

ProCurve(config)# int 6 poe-allocate-by value

or in interface context:

ProCurve(eth-6)# poe-allocate-by value

Then select a value:

ProCurve(config)# int 6 poe-value 15

or in interface context:

ProCurve(eth-6)# poe-value 15

To view the settings, enter the show power-over-ethernetcommand:
