POWER OVER ETHERNET COMMANDS

Power over Ethernet Commands

The commands in this group control the power that can be delivered to attached PoE devices through the switch ports on the SMC6824MPE and SMC6826MPE.

The switch’s power management enables total switch power and individual port power to be controlled within a configured power budget. Port power can be automatically turned on and off for connected devices, and a per-port power priority can be set so that the switch never exceeds its allocated power budget. When a device is connected to a switch port, its power requirements are detected by the switch before power is supplied. If the power required by a device exceeds the power budget of the port or the whole switch, power is not supplied.
