4. (Optional) Set the PoE usage threshold on a
module. Valid values are 1–99 percent.
set inlinepower threshold usage-threshold
module-number
Use the clear command to reset the PoE usage
threshold on a specified module to the default
value of 80 percent.
clear inlinepower threshold module-number
5. (Optional) Set the maximum percentage of total
PoE power available that a chassis can
withdraw from the total PoE power detected.
set inlinepower available max-percentage
Use the clear command to reset the percentage
of the total power available to a chassis to the
default value of 100.
clear inlinepower available
6. (Optional) Set the PoE management mode on a
specified module.
• realtime (default) — Manages power based
on the actual power consumption of the ports.
• class — Manages power based on the IEEE
802.3af definition of the class upper limit for
each attached PD, except classes 0 and 4,
for which the actual power consumption is
used. In this mode, the maximum amount of
power required by a PD in the advertised
class is reserved for the port, regardless of
the actual amount of power being used by the
device.
set inlinepower management {realtime |
class} module-number
Use the clear command to reset the PoE
management mode on a specified module back
to the default setting.

7. (Optional) Configure the allocation mode for
system power available for PoE.
• auto (default) — Available power is
distributed evenly to PoE modules based on
PoE port count. Any change in available
power, due to a change in power supply
status or redundancy mode or to the addition
or removal of modules, triggers an automatic
redistribution of power to the PoE controller
on each PoE module.
• manual —The power budget for each PoE
module is configured manually, using the set
inlinepower assigned command.
The configured wattage assignments are used
to calculate each module’s percentage of total
available power. If the total available PoE power
changes, a redistribution of available power
occurs, applying the calculated percentages.
set inlinepower mode {auto | manual}
Use this command to reset chassis power
allocation to the default mode.
