Power over Ethernet Commands
The commands in this group control the power that can be delivered to
attached PoE devices through the switch ports on the SMC6824MPE and
SMC6826MPE.
The switch’s power management enables total switch power and individual
port power to be controlled within a configured power budget. Port power
can be automatically turned on and off for connected devices, and a per-port
power priority can be set so that the switch never exceeds its allocated power
budget. When a device is connected to a switch port, its power requirements
are detected by the switch before power is supplied. If the power required by
a device exceeds the power budget of the port or the whole switch, power is
not supplied.
