3Com 4210 9-Port Configuration Manual page 542

Ethernet 1/0/1 through Ethernet 1/0/10 of Switch A are used by users of group A, who have the following
requirements:
The PoE function can be enabled on all ports in use.
Signal mode is used to supply power.
The PoE priority for Ethernet 1/0/1 through Ethernet 1/0/5 is Critical, whereas the PoE priority for
Ethernet 1/0/6 through Ethernet 1/0/10 is High.
The maximum power for Ethernet 1/0/1 through Ethernet 1/0/5 ports is 3,000 mW, whereas the
maximum power for Ethernet 1/0/6 through Ethernet 1/0/10 is 15,400 mW.
Based on the above requirements, two PoE profiles are made for users of group A.
Apply PoE profile 1 for Ethernet 1/0/1 through Ethernet 1/0/5;
Apply PoE profile 2 for Ethernet 1/0/6 through Ethernet 1/0/10.
