Parameter
power limit —— The max power the PoE switch can supply, ranging from 1 to
320W.
Command Mode
Global Configuration Mode
Example
Configure the max power the PoE switch can supply as 160W:
TP-LINK(config)# power inline consumption 160
power inline disconnect-method
Description
The power inline disconnect-method command is used to offset the power
limit being exceeded and keep the switch system using power at a usable level.
Syntax
power inline disconnect-method {deny-next-port|deny-low-priority}

deny-next-port —— When the supply power exceeds the power limit, the PD
linked to the next port will be disconnected.
deny-low priority —— When the supply power exceeds the power limit, the PD
linked to the port with lower priority will be disconnected.
