Power Over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Operation

Configuring PoE Operation

Changing the Threshold for Generating a Power NoticeYou can configure one of the following thresholds:

A global power threshold that applies to all modules on the switch. This setting acts as a trigger for sending a notice when the PoE power consumption on any PoE module installed in the switch crosses the configured global threshold level. (Crossing the threshold level in either direction—PoE power usage either increasing or decreasing— triggers the notice.) The default setting is 80%.

A per-slot power threshold that applies to an individual PoE module installed in the designated slot. This setting acts as a trigger for sending a notice when the module in the specified slot exceeds or goes below a specific level of PoE power consumption.
