Displaying the Switch’s Global PoE Power Status

Syntax:show power-management

Displays the switch’s global PoE power status, including:

Max Power: Lists the maximum PoE wattage available to provision active PoE ports on the switch.

PowerInUse: ListstheamountofPoEpowerpresentlyinuse.

Operational Status: Indicates whether PoE power is available

on the switch. (Default: On ; shows Off if PoE power is not available. Shows Faulty if internal or external PoE power is oversubscribed or faulty.)

Usage Threshold (%): Lists the configured percentage of available PoE power provisioning the switch must exceed to generate a usage notice in the form of an Event Log message and an SNMP trap. If this event is followed by a drop in power provisioning below the threshold, the switch generates another SNMP trap and Event Log message. Event Log messages are also sent to any optionally configured debug destinations. (Default: 80%)

For example, in the default PoE configuration, when the switch is running with several ports supporting PD loads, show power-managementdisplays data similar to the following on a Switch 2626-PWR device:
