how much power is actually consumed on the specified slot. The default power budget reserved for
each PoE module is 50 W. The minimum power you can assign to a slot is 37 W, or 0 W if the slot is
disabled. The maximum possible for each slot is 768 W.
To reduce the chances of ports fluctuating between powered and non-powered states, newly inserted
PDs are not powered when the actual delivered power for the module is within approximately 19 W of
the configured inline power budget for that slot. However, actual aggregate power can be delivered up
to the configured inline power budget for the slot (for example, when delivered power from ports
increases or when the configured inline power budget for the slot is reduced).
NOTE
Extreme Networks recommends that you fully populate a single PoE module with PDs until the power usage is just
below the usage threshold, instead of spacing PDs evenly across PoE modules.
Use the following command to reserve the power budget for the PoE module slot:
configure inline-power budget <num_watts> slot <slot>
If you disable a slot with a PoE module, the reserved power budget remains with that slot until you
unconfigure or reconfigure the power budget. Also, you can reconfigure the reserved power budget for
a PoE module without disabling the slot first; you can reconfigure dynamically.
These settings are preserved across reboots and other power-cycling conditions.
The total of all reserved slot power budgets cannot be larger than the total available power to the
switch. If the base module power requirements plus the reserved PoE power for all modules exceeds
the unallocated power in the system, the lowest numbered slots have priority in getting power and one
or more modules in higher-numbered slots will be powered down.
NOTE
PoE modules are not powered-up at all, even in data-only mode, if the reserved PoE power cannot be allocated to
that slot.
To reset the reserved power budget for a slot to the default value of 50 W, use the following command:
unconfigure inline-power budget slot <slot>
PD Disconnect Precedence
After a PD is discovered and powered, the actual power drain is continuously measured, If the usage
for power by PDs is within 19 W of the reserved power budget for the PoE module, the system begins
denying power to PDs.
To supply power to all PDs, you can reconfigure the reserved power budget for the slot, so that enough
power is available to power all PDs. You reconfigure the reserved power budget dynamically; you do
not have to disable the slot to reconfigure the power budget.
You configure the switch to handle a request for power that exceeds the power budget situation in one
of two ways, called the disconnect precedence:
Disconnect PDs according to the configured PoE port priority for each device
