power

interface-config-ge-instance

Configures PoE (Power over Ethernet) settings on this interface

When configured, this option allows the selected port to use Power over Ethernet. When enabled, the controller supports 802.3af PoE on each of its GE ports. PoE allows users to monitor port power consumption and configure power usage limits and priorities for each GE port.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Wireless Controllers — RFS4000

Syntax

power {best-effort|limit <0-40>|priority [critical|high|low]}

Parameters

power {best-effort|limit <0-40>|priority [critical|high|low]}
power Configures power related thresholds for this interface
best-effort Optional. Enables power when the device is not operating from an 802.3at class 4 power source
limit <0-40> Optional. Configures the PoE power limit from 0 - 40 Watts. The default is 30 Watts.
priority [critical|high|low] Optional. Configures the PoE power priority on this interface. This is the priority assigned to this port versus the power requirements of the other ports available on the controller.
  • critical – Sets PoE priority as critical
  • high – Sets PoE priority as high
  • low – Sets PoE priority as low. This is the default setting.
