Example: Configuring Power Management Static Mode on the Port Extender
The following example configures the power management to Static mode on the port extender 0 on stack unit 0.
Dell(conf)#power inline mode pe 0 stack-unit 0 static
Example: Displaying PoE Power Allocation on a Port Extender
The following example displays the PoE power allocation on a specified port extender, using the show power inline {pe
pe-id stack—unit unit number | interface interface } command in EXEC and EXEC Privilege mode.

Allocate PoE Power to Powered Devices to a Connected
PE Interface
To enable inline power and configure the maximum power allocation and priority for the powered device connected to a port
extender interface, use the power inline {[max_milliwatts] | priority {critical | high | low}} command
in Interface mode. By default, power inline is disabled.
Port Prioritization
To specify the priority on a particular interface on the port extender, use the power inline priority command. When you
reduce the inline power available in a port extender, the lower priority interfaces are disabled initially then the higher priority
interfaces are disabled. Between equal priority ports, the port number determines which port is assigned the higher priority.
Port 0 has the highest priority and port 47 has the lowest priority. For more information, see
Managing Power Priorities and
Managing Ports using Power Priority and the Power Budget.
On a port extender interface, you can configure one of the following priority levels: critical, high, and low. By default, all
ports are set to low.
When you reduce the available inline power, the order of priority for disabling the inline power to the interfaces is as follows:
1. Ports with low priority are shut down first.
2. Ports with a high priority are shut down second.
3. Ports with a critical priority are shut down third.
NOTE: When you configure the ports with the same priority levels, the port number determines which port has the
highest priority (port 1 has the highest priority; port 48 has the lowest priority). The ports with the higher interface
numbers for inline power disable first. The ports with the lower interface numbers have the highest priority. For
example, if you configure ports 1, 2, 47, and 48 with a low priority and the inline power available becomes less, PoE is
disabled on the ports in the following order:
a port 48
b port 47
c port 2
d port 1
