The administrator configures all ports to allocate up to 30 watts. This results in 48
times 30 ports equaling 1440 watts, which is too much. The device cannot provide
enough power to each port, so it provides power according to the priority.
The administrator sets the priority for each port, allocating how much power it can
be given.
These priorities are entered in the PoE Settings page.
See Device Models for a description of the device models that support PoE and
the maximum power that can be allocated to PoE ports.
To configure PoE port settings:
STEP 1 Click Port Management > PoE > Settings.The list of fields below is for Port Limit
Power Mode. The fields are slightly different if the Power Mode is Class Limit.

port 1 receives power and port 3 might be denied power.
