In the default PoE configuration, the ports are already set to the low priority. In this case, the command is not necessary.
Configuration Command
with PDs connected to Ports C3 Through C24
In this example, the following CLI command sets ports C3-C17 to Critical:
ProCurve(config)# interface c3-c17 power critical
The Critical priority class always receives power. If there is not enough power to provision
PDs on all of the ports configured for this class, then no power goes to ports configured for
High and Low priority. If there is enough power to provision PDs on only some of the critical-
priority ports, then power is allocated to these ports in ascending order, beginning with the
lowest-numbered port in the class, which, in this case, is port 3.
In this example, the following CLI command sets ports C19-C22 to High:
ProCurve(config)# interface c19-c22 power high
The High priority class receives power only if all PDs on ports with a Critical priority setting
are receiving power. If there is not enough power to provision PDs on all ports with a high
priority, then no power goes to ports with a low priority. If there is enough power to provision
PDs on only some of the high-priority ports, then power is allocated to these ports in
ascending order, beginning, in this example, with port 18, until all available power is in use.
In this example, the CLI command sets ports C23-C24 to Low
ProCurve(config)# interface c23-c24 power low
This priority class receives power only if all PDs on ports with High and Critical priority
settings are receiving power. If there is enough power to provision PDs on only some low-
priority ports, then power is allocated to the ports in ascending order, beginning with the
lowest-numbered port in the class (port 22, in this case), until all available power is in use.
In this example, the CLI command disables PoE power on ports C1-C2:
ProCurve(config)# no interface c1-c2 power
There is no priority setting for the ports in this example.

PoE Priority With Two or More Modules

Ports across two or more modules can be assigned a class priority of either
Low (the default), High, or Critical, for example, A5, B7, and C10 could all be
assigned a priority class of Critical. When power is allocated to the ports on a
priority basis, the Critical priority power requests are allocated to module A
first, then Module B, C, and so on. Next, the High priority power requests are
