Power Over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Operation
Configuring PoE Operation
Manually Configuring PoE Power Levels
You can specify a power level (in watts) allocated for a port by using the value
option. This is the maximum amount of power that will be delivered.
To configure a port by value, first set the PoE allocation by entering the poe-
allocate-by value command:
ProCurve(config)# int A6 poe-allocate-by value
or in interface context:
ProCurve(eth-A6)# poe-allocate-by value
Then select a value:
ProCurve(config)# int A6 poe-value 15
or in interface context:
ProCurve(eth-A6)# poe-value 15
To view the settings, enter the show power-over-ethernet command:
ProCurve(config)# show power-over-ethernet A6

If you set the PoE maximum value to less than the PD requires, a fault occurs.
