Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are only applicable when there is inadequate power remaining to 
power an incoming device.

When priority disconnect is disabled, power will be denied to any incoming PD, regardless of its port 
priority status (i.e., low, high, and critical) or physical port number (i.e., 1–24).

To monitor current PoE statistics and settings, use the 

 command. The command output 

displays a list of all current PoE-capable ports, along with the following information for each port:

• Maximum power allocated to the port, in milliwatts

• Actual power used by the port

• Current port status

• Power priority status

• Power on/off status

Aggregate slot and chassis management information also displays. This information includes:

• Maximum watts allocated to the corresponding slot

• Amount of power budget remaining that can be allocated for PoE modules 

• Total amount of power remaining that can be allocated for additional switch functions
