Setting the switch power budget

Use this procedure to define the Power over Ethernet (PoE) power budget
for the switch.
You can define a maximum PoE power budget for the switch (power
available to all switch ports) so that power can be centrally managed,
preventing overload conditions at the power source. If the power demand
from devices connected to the switch exceeds the power budget setting, the
switch uses port power priority settings to limit the supplied power.
