Sets the power limit allowed for PDs connected to the specified ports.
milliwatts | An integer specifying the maximum allowed power in milliwatts. Default is based on the port's class type (for example, 30W, 60W, 90W). |
class-based | Specifies that the power limit is managed by the powered device's class. |
port_list | Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. |
PoE—15,400 mW.
PoE+—30,000 mW.
PoE++ Type 3—60,000 mW.
PoE++ Type 4—90,000 mW.
This command sets the power limit that a PD can draw on the specified ports. For PoE, the range is 3,000 to 16800mW and the default value is 15,400 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If the measured power for a specified port exceeds the port‘s operator limit, the power is withdrawn from that port and the port moves into a fault state.
If you try to set an operator-limit outside the accepted range, the system returns the following error message:
Error: Invalid operator-limit value. Must be in the range of 3000-90000 mW for PoE 802.3bt port
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.
The following command sets the limit for legacy PDs on ports 3–6 of slot 5 on a SummitStack to 10000 mW:
configure inline-power operator-limit 10000 ports 5:3-5:6
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 11.1.
The class-based option was added in ExtremeXOS 32.3.
