Remotely monitoring power for all connected PDs

By using the

power-inline usage-threshold

command and the

snmp-server enable

trap

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:

Chapter 67, SNMP Introduction

Chapter 68, SNMP Commands

Chapter 69, SNMP MIBs

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.
