power inline priority

The power inline priority command configures the port priority level, for the
delivery of power to an attached device. The switch may not be able to supply
power to all connected devices, so the port priority is used to determine which
ports will supply power if adequate power capacity is not available for all
enabled ports. For ports that have the same priority level, the lower-numbered
port has higher priority.
For a system delivering peak power to a certain number of devices, if a new
device is attached on a high-priority port, power will be shut down to a device
on a low-priority port, and the new device will get powered up.
