Configuring PoE Operation
In the default configuration, PoE support is enabled on the 10/100Base-TX
ports in an xl PoE (J8161A) module installed on the switch. The default priority
for all ports is Low and the default power notification threshold is 80 (%). Using
the CLI, you can:
■ Change the PoE priority level on individual PoE ports
Disable or re-enable PoE operation on individual PoE ports
■
Change the threshold for generating a power level notice
■

Changing the PoE Port Priority Level

Syntax: interface < port-list > power [ critical | high | low ]
Reconfigures the PoE priority level on < port-list >. For a given level,
the module automatically prioritizes ports by port number (in
ascending order). If there is not enough power available to
provision all active PoE ports at a given priority level, then the
lowest-numbered port at that level will be provisioned on a specific
module first, and so on. An xl PoE module invokes configured PoE
priorities only when it cannot provision all active PoE ports on that
module.
• Critical: Specifies the highest-priority PoE support for
< port-list >. The module provisions active PoE ports at this level
before provisioning PoE ports at any other level.
• High: Specifies the second priority PoE support for
< port-list >. The module provisions active PoE ports at this level
before provisioning Low priority PoE ports.
• Low (the default): Specifies the third priority PoE support for <
port-list >. The module provisions active PoE ports at this level
only if there is power available after provisioning any active
PoE ports at the higher priority levels.
You can use one command to set the same priority level on PoE ports
in multiple modules. For example, to configure the priority to High
for ports c5-c10, C23-C24, D1-D10, and D12, you could use this
command:
ProCurve(config)# interface c5-c10,c23-c24,d1­
d10,d12
