Configuring the Operator Limit

You can configure the maximum amount of power that the specified port can deliver to the connected PD, in milliwatts (mW). For PoE (Power over Ethernet), the default value is 15400 mW, and the range is 3000 to 16800 mW. For PoE+, the default value is 30000 mW, and the range is 3000 to 30000 mW. For PoE++, the range is 3,000 mW to 60,000 mW and the default value is 60,000 mW.

If the operator limit for a specified port is less than the power drawn by the legacy PD, the legacy PD is denied power.

To set the operator limit on specified ports, which limits how much power a PD can draw from that port, use the following command:

configure inline-power operator-limit milliwatts ports [all |port_list]
To reset the operator limit to the default value of 15.4 W for PoE, 30 W for PoE+, or 60 W for PoE++, use the following command:

unconfigure inline-power operator-limit ports [all |port_list]
To display the current operator limit on each port, use the following command:

show inline-power configuration ports port_list
