You can specify a power level (in watts) allocated for a port by using the value
option. This is the maximum amount of power that will be delivered.
To configure a port by value:
Procedure
- Set the PoE allocation by entering the
poe-allocate-by value
command:
switch(config) # int A6 poe-allocate-by value
- or in interface context:
switch(eth-A6) # poe-allocate-by value
- Select a value:
switch(config) # int A6 poe-value 15
- or in interface context:
switch(eth-A6) # poe-value 15
To view the settings, enter the show
power-over-ethernet
command, shown in PoE allocation by value and the maximum power delivered.
If you set the PoE maximum value to less than
what the PD requires, a fault occurs, as shown in PoE power value set too low for the PD.
