power-over-ethernet assigned-class

Syntax

power-over-ethernet assigned-class {3 | 4 | 6}

no power-over-ethernet assigned-class

Description

Limit PoE power based on the assigned class. When an user assigns a maximum class to an interface, the PSE will limit the maximum power delivered to the PD up to a total power draw not exceeding the PSE assigned-class power. Power demotion occurs when a PD requested class is higher than the PSE assigned class, permitting the PD to receive power and operate in a reduced power mode. The default assigned class is 6 for 2-pair capable PSE and 6 for 4-pair capable PSE.

The no form of this command resets the action to default.
