HP Low, High, Critical:

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Operation for the Series 2600-PWR Switches

Configuring PoE Operation

Syntax: interface [e] < port-list> power [ critical high low ]

Reconfigures the PoE priority level on < port-list>. For a given level, the switch automatically prioritizes ports by port number (in ascending order). If there is not enough power available to provision all active PoE ports at a given priority level, then the lowest-numbered port at that level will be provisioned first, and so on. The switch invokes configured PoE priorities only when it cannot provision all active PoE ports.

•Critical: Specifies the first priority PoE support for < port- list >. The switch provisions active PoE ports at this level before PDs connected to any other ports.

•High: Specifies the second priority PoE support for

<port-list>. The switch provisions active PoE ports at this level before PDs connected to Low-priority ports.

•Low (the default): Specifies the third support priority for

<port-list>. The switch provisions active PoE ports at this level only if there is power available after provisioning any active PoE ports at the higher priority levels.
