Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide - Manual (Page 279)

To change a PoE port power priority from high to low (the default value) and keep the current maximum
configured power level of 3000, enter commands such as the following.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
device(config-if-e1000-1/1)# inline power priority 3 power-limit 3000
You must specify both the inline power priority and the maximum power level (power-limit command),
even though you are keeping the current configured maximum power level at 3000. If you do not specify
the maximum power level, the device will apply the default value. Also, you must specify the inline
power priority before specifying the power limit.
2--Changing a port power class from 2 to 3
To change a port power class from 2 (7 watts maximum) to 3 (15.4 watts maximum) and keep the
current configured power priority of 2, enter commands such as the following.
device#configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
device(config-if-e1000-1/1)# inline power priority 2 power-by-class 3
You must specify both the power class and the inline power priority, even though you are not changing
the power priority. If you do not specify the power priority, the device will apply the default value of 3
(low priority). Also, you must specify the inline power priority before specifying the power class.
Displaying Power over Ethernet information
This section lists the CLI commands for viewing PoE information.
Displaying PoE operational status
The show inline power command displays operational information about Power over Ethernet.
You can view the PoE operational status for the entire device, for a specific PoE module only, or for a
specific interface only. In addition, you can use the show inline power detail command to display in-
depth information about PoE power supplies. To display PoE data specific to PD ports, use the show
inline power pd command.
The following shows an example of the show inline power display output on a device PoE device.
