Remotely monitoring power for all connected PDs
command and the
commands together you can remotely monitor PD power requests on the PSE.
Note that you will need to configure SNMP first for this. For more information on
configuring SNMP, see the following chapters in your switch’s software reference:

For example, if the PD is a Class 0 (default class) or a Class 3 (15400 mW) PD then the PSE
budgets 15400 mW for the PD regardless of the actual amount of power needed by the
PD.
The following procedure allows you to remotely monitor power usage for all connected
PDs. Follow the configuration table to configure the PSE.
