Switch Management Commands 2033
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 to a high-priority port, power to a low-priority port is shut
down and the new device is powered up.
Syntax
power inline priority {critical | high | low}
no power inline priority
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet).
User Guidelines
Priority is always enabled for all ports. If all ports have equal priority in an
overload condition, the switch will shut down the highest numbered ports
first.
Default Value
Low
Examples
console(config)#interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
console(config-if-Gi1/0/1)# power inline priority high
power inline reset
Use the power inline reset command to reset the port.
