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, the default value is 15400 mW, and the range is 3000 to 16800 mW. For PoE+, the range is 3,000 to 32,000 mW and the default value is 30,000 mW. For PoE++ Type 3, the range is 3,000 mW to 64,000 mW and the default value is 60,000 mW. For PoE++ Type 4, the range is 3,000 mW to 98,000 mW and the default value is 90,000 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}

Note
With a class-based operator-limit type, if a class4 PD is attached, then the operator-limit set will be ignored and the switch will not deliver more than 30W to the PD.
When class-based operator-limit is configured on a port, "Max Allowed Power" will show the maximum power for the class of the attached PD. Without the class-based option, "Max Allowed Power" will show the configured or default value of operator-limit.
