SMC Networks SMC6824M manual Switch Power Status, 146

CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

the power required by a device exceeds the power budget of the port or the whole switch, power is not supplied.

Ports can be set to one of three power priority levels, critical, high, or low. To control the power supply within the switch’s budget, ports set at critical or high priority have power enabled in preference to those ports set at low priority. For example, when a device is connected to a port set to critical priority, the switch supplies the required power, if necessary by dropping power to ports set for a lower priority. If power is dropped to some low-priority ports and later the power demands on the switch fall back within its budget, the dropped power is automatically restored.
