LABEL	DESCRIPTION
PoE Mode	Select the power management mode you want the Switch to use.
	• Classification - Select this if you want the Switch to reserve the Max Power
	(mW) to each PD according to the power classification of the PD. If the total
	power supply available is not enough to supply all connected PDs, then PDs
	with lower priority do not get power to function.
	• Consumption - Select this if you want the Switch to manage the total power
	supply so that each connected PD gets a resource. However, the power
	allocated by the Switch may be less than the Max Power (mW) of the PD. PDs
	with higher priority also get more power than those with lower priority levels.
Port	This is the port index number.
PD	Select this to provide power to a PD connected to the port.
	If left unchecked, the PD connected to the port cannot receive power from the
	Switch.
PD Priority	This field is not available for the Gigabit or mini-GBIC ports.
	When the total power requested by the PDs exceeds the total PoE power budget on
	the Switch, you can set the PD priority to allow the Switch to provide power to
	ports with higher priority.
	Select Critical to give the PD connected to this port the highest priority.
	Select High to set the Switch to assign the remaining power to the port after all
	critical priority ports are served.
	Select Low to set the Switch to assign the remaining power to the port after all
	critical and high priority ports are served.
Apply	Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch
	loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the
	top navigation panel to save your changes to the nonvolatile memory when you
	are done configuring.
Cancel	Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
