• If a device is connected to a critical or high-priority port and causes the switch to
exceed its budget, port power is turned on, but the switch drops power to one or
more lower-priority ports.
Note: Power is dropped from low-priority ports in sequence starting from port number 1.
Command Attributes
•Port – The port number on the switch.
•Admin Status – Enables PoE power on the port. Power is automatically supplied
when a device is detected on the port, providing that the power demanded does
not exceed the switch or port power budget. (Default: Enabled)
•Priority – Sets the power priority for the port. (Options: low, high, or critical;
Default: low)
•Power Allocation – Sets the power budget for the port.
(Range: 0- 31000 milliwatts; Default: 15400 milliwatts)
•Overload Auto Recover –
Disabled: When a port detects an overload condition, the PoE power is disabled
and the port administrative status is set to disabled. The user must manually
re-enable the port using a management interface.
Enabled: When a port detects an overload condition, the PoE power is disabled
and the port administrative status is set to disabled. The port is automatically
re-enabled when the overload condition is no longer detected on the port.
(Default: Disabled)
•Web – Click PoE, Power Port Configuration. Enable PoE power on selected ports,
