DESCRIPTION

 

 

State

This field shows which ports can receive power from the Switch. You can

 

 

set this in Section 8.8.1 on page 87.

 

 

Disable - The PD connected to this port cannot get power supply.

 

 

Enable - The PD connected to this port can receive power.

 

 

 

 

Class

This shows the IEEE 802.3af power classification of the PD.

 

 

This is a number from 0 to 4, where each value represents a range of

 

 

power (W) and power current (mA) that the PD requires to function. The

 

 

ranges are as follows.

 

 

 

Class 0 - Default,

0.44 to 12.94

 

 

Class 1 - Optional,

0.44 to 3.84

 

 

Class 2 - Optional , 3.84 to 6.49

 

 

Class 3 - Optional,

6.49 to 12.95

 

 

Class 4 - Reserved (PSEs classify as Class 0)

 

 

 

 

PD Priority

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 first.

 

 

Critical has the highest priority.

 

 

High has the Switch assign power to the port after all critical priority

 

 

 

ports are served.

 

 

 

Low has the Switch assign power to the port after all critical and high

 

 

 

priority ports are served.

 

 

 

 

Consuming

This field displays the current amount of power consumed by the PD from

 

Power (mW)

the Switch on this port.

 

 

 

 

Max Power

This field displays the maximum amount of power the PD could use from

 

(mW)

the Switch on this port.

 

 

 

 

Max Current

This field displays the maximum amount of current drawn by the PD from

 

(mA)

the Switch on this port.
