Release 6.1; command was introduced.

N/A

The current priority level for the corresponding PoE port. Options 
include Critical, High, and Low. Critical should be reserved for ports 
that have mission-critical devices attached, and therefore require top 
(i.e., critical) priority. In the event of a power management issue, inline 
power to critical ports is maintained as long as possible. High indicates 
ports that have important, but not mission-critical, devices attached. If 
other ports in the chassis have been configured as critical, inline power 
to high-priority ports is given second priority. Low priority is for ports 
that have low-priority devices attached. In the event of a power man-
agement issue, inline power to low-priority ports is interrupted first 
(i.e., before critical and high-priority ports).

The default value is Low. Priority levels can be changed using the 

 command.

Displays whether a port has been manually turned on or off by the user. 
ON indicates that the port has been turned on by the user via the 

 command. OFF indicates that the port has been turned 

off by the user via the 

The maximum watts available to the corresponding slot. The maximum 
watts value for a slot can be changed using the 

 

command.

The amount of power budget remaining for PoE modules. If the total 
power budget remaining is exceeded, a power error will occur and the 
switch’s chassis management software will begin shutting down power 
to PoE ports according to their priority levels.

Total Power Budget Available The total amount of power remaining, based upon the number of power 

supplies installed and operating in the power shelf.

The number of power supplies currently installed and operating in the 
switch’s power shelf. The power shelf is also referred to as Power 
Source Equipment (PSE).
