Configuring Port Power Priority

About this task

Perform the following procedure to configure the PoE power priority for a port or list of ports. You can configure the PoE power priority of ports to manage availability of the connected PDs. If the switch needs to shut down PDs because PoE exceeds the power limit threshold, low priority devices are shut down before high priority, and high priority are shut down before critical.

Procedure

  1. Enter Interface Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

    interface GigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]} or interface vlan <1–4059>

    Note

    Note

    If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.

  2. Configure port power priority:

    poe poe-priority [port <portlist>] {critical| high| low}

Variable Definitions

The following table defines parameters for the poe-priority command.

Variable
