1.5 Setting PoE Management Mode and PoE Priority of a Port

The power supply management mode and the port priority settings will work together to
control the power feeding of the switch when the switch is reaching its full power load.
When AC power input is adopted for the switch, the maximum total power that can be
supplied by the PoE-enabled S5600 switch is 300 W. By default, when the switch
reaches its full load in supplying power, it will manage the power supply to its ports in
auto mode.
auto mode: When the switch is reaching its full load in supplying power, it will first
supply power to the PDs that are connected to the ports with critical priority, and
then supply power to the PDs that are connected to the ports with high priority. For
example: Port A has the priority of critical. When the switch is reaching its full load
and a new PD is now added to port A, the switch will power down the PD
connected to the port with the low priority and turn to supply power to this new PD.
IF more than one port has the same lowest priority, the switch will power down the
PD connected to the port with larger logical port number.
manual mode: When the switch is reaching its full load in supplying power, it will
neither take the priority into account nor make change to its original power supply
status. For example: Port A has the priority critical. When the switch is reaching its
full load and a new PD is now added to port A, the switch just gives a prompt that a
new PD is added and will not supply power to this new PD.
After the PoE feature is enabled on the port, perform the following configuration to set
the PoE management mode and PoE priority of a port.
