This command is supported only on Power over Ethernet (PoE)-capable ports. If you enter this command
on a switch or port that does not support PoE, an error message appears.
In a switch stack, this command is supported on all switches or ports in the stack that support PoE and
real-time power-consumption monitoring.
When policing of the real-time power consumption is enabled, the switch takes action when a powered
device consumes more power than the allocated maximum amount.
When PoE is enabled, the switch senses the real-time power consumption of the powered device. This
feature is called power monitoring or power sensing. The switch also polices the power usage with the
power policing feature.
When power policing is enabled, the switch uses one of the these values as the cutoff power on the PoE
port in this order:
1. The user-defined power level that the switch budgets for the port when you enter the power inline
consumption default wattage global configuration command or the power inline consumption
wattage interface configuration command.
The user-defined power level that limits the power allowed on the port when you enter the power
2.

(Optional) If the real-time power consumption exceeds the maximum
power allocation on the port, configures the switch to turn off power to
the port. This is the default action.
(Optional) If the real-time power consumption exceeds the maximum
power allocation on the port, configures the switch to generate a syslog
message while the switch still provides power to the connected device.
