Configuring the Total Power Available to a Port

By default, each port is authorized by the system software to use up to a maximum amount of milliwatts to
power any attached device.
You can either increase or decrease this value based on the allowed ranges.
Increasing the total power available to an individual port may provide a more demanding Powered Device
(PD) with additional power required for operation. Decreasing the total power available to a port helps to
preserve inline power and assists in the overall management of the switch's power budget.
To increase or decrease the total power available to an individual port, use the
Since you are setting the power allowance for an individual port, you must specify chassis/slot/port values
in the command line. For example, the syntax
-> lanpower port 1/1/24 power 3000
reduces the power allowance on port 24 to 3000 milliwatts. This new value is now the maximum amount
of power the port can use to power any attached device (until the value is modified by the user).

Configuring the Total Power Available to a slot

Like the maximum port power allowance, the system software also provides a maximum slot-wide power
allowance. By default, each slot is authorized by the system software to use a number of watts to power all
devices connected to its ports depending on which power supply is used.
As with the maximum port power allowance, the user can either increase or decrease this value based on
the allowed ranges.
Important. Decreasing the slot-wide power could cause lower priority ports to lose power if the new
value is less than the total PoE power currently being consumed.
