Configuring PoE Operation
Syntax:
interface [e] <
port-list
> power [ critical | high | low ]
Reconfigures the PoE priority level on
<
port-list
>.
For a given
level, the switch automatically prioritizes ports by port
number (in ascending order). If there is not enough power
available to provision all active PoE ports at a given priority
level, then the lowest-numbered port at that level will be
provisioned first, and so on. The switch invokes configured
PoE priorities only when it cannot provision all active PoE
ports.

Critical:
Specifies the first priority PoE support for
<
port-
list
>
.
The switch provisions active PoE ports at this level
before PDs connected to any other ports.
High
:
Specifies the second priority PoE support for
<
port-list
>
.
The switch provisions active PoE ports at this
level before PDs connected to Low-priority ports.
Low
(the default): Specifies the third support priority for
<
port-list
>.
The switch provisions active PoE ports at this
level only if there is power available after provisioning any
active PoE ports at the higher priority levels.
