POWER-INLINE PRIORITY

Syntax

power-inline priority critical|high|low

Parameters

critical

Sets ports to the Critical priority level for PoE ports. Ports set to the
Critical level are guaranteed power before any of the ports
assigned to the other priority levels.

high

Sets ports to the High priority level. Ports set to the High level
receive power only when all of the ports assigned to the Critical
level are already receiving power.

low

Sets ports to the Low priority level. Ports set to the Low level
receive power only when all of the ports assigned to the critical and
high levels are already receiving power. This level is the default
setting.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to assign PoE priority levels to the ports. The priority
levels are Low, High, and Critical. Ports connected to the most critical PDs
should be assigned the Critical level to guarantee them power before any
of the other ports in the event the switch does not have enough power for
all of the PDs.

If the switch does not have enough power to support all the ports set to the
same priority level, it allocates power based on port number, in ascending
order. For example, if all of the ports are set to the Low priority level, port 1
has the highest priority level, port 2 has the next highest priority level and
so forth.
