Viewing the global PoE power status of the switch

Syntax:

show power-over-ethernet [ brief | [[ethernet]]<port-list> | [ <all> ] ]

Displays the switch's global PoE power status, including:

Total Available Power

Lists the maximum PoE wattage available to provision active PoE ports on the switch. This is the amount of usable power for PDs.
Total Failover Power

Lists the amount of PoE power available in the event of a single power supply failure. This is the amount of power the switch can maintain without dropping any PDs.
Total Redundancy Power

Indicates the amount of PoE power held in reserve for redundancy in case of a power supply failure.

Total Remaining Power

The amount of PoE power still available.

`brief`	Displays PoE information for each port. See Viewing PoE status on all ports.
`<port-list>`	Displays PoE information for the ports in port-list. See Viewing the PoE status on specific ports.

The show power-over-ethernet displays data similar to that shown in Output for the show power-over-ethernet command.

Viewing PoE status on all ports

Syntax:

show power-over-ethernet brief

Displays the port power status:

PoE Port Lists all PoE-capable ports on the switch.

Power Enable Shows Yes for ports enabled to support PoE (the default) and No for ports on which PoE is disabled.

Power Priority Lists the power priority (Low, High, and Critical) configured on ports enabled for PoE. (For more information on this topic, see Configuring PoE operation.)

Alloc by Displays how PoE is allocated (usage, class, value).

Alloc Power The maximum amount of PoE power allocated for that port (expressed in watts).Default: 17 watts for PoE; 33 watts for PoE+.

Actual Power The power actually being used on that port.

Configured Type If configured, shows the user-specified identifier for the port. If not configured, this field is empty.

Detection Status

Searching: The port is trying to detect a PD connection.

Delivering: The port is delivering power to a PD.

Disabled: On the indicated port, either PoE support is disabled or PoE power is enabled but the PoE module does not have enough power available to supply the port's power needs.

Fault: The switch detects a problem with the connected PD.

Other Fault: The switch has detected an internal fault that prevents it from supplying power on that port.

Power Class
Shows the 802.3af power class of the PD detected on the indicated port. Classes include:

0: 0.44 to 12.95 watts can be drawn by the PD. Default class.

1: 0.44 to 3.84 watts

2: 3.84 to 6.49 watts

3: 6.49 to 12.95 watts

4: For PoE+; up to 25.5 watts can be drawn by the PD

Viewing the PoE status on specific ports

Syntax:

show power-over-ethernet <port-list>

Displays the following PoE status and statistics (since the last reboot) for each port in <port-list>:

Power Enable	Shows Yes for ports enabled to support PoE (the default) and No for ports on which PoE is disabled. For ports on which power is disabled, this is the only field displayed by `show power-over-ethernet port-list`.
Priority	Lists the power priority (Low, High, and Critical) configured on ports enabled for PoE. (For more on this topic, see Configuring PoE operation.)
Allocate by	How PoE is allocated (usage, class, value).
Detection Status	Searching: The port is trying to detect a PD connection. Delivering: The port is delivering power to a PD. Disabled: On the indicated port, either PoE support is disabled or PoE power is enabled but the PoE module does not have enough power available to supply the port's power needs. Fault: The switch detects a problem with the connected PD. Other Fault: The switch has detected an internal fault that prevents it from supplying power on that port.
Over Current Cnt	Shows the number of times a connected PD has attempted to draw more than 15.4 watts for PoE or 24.5 watts for PoE+. Each occurrence generates an Event Log message.
Power Denied Cnt	Shows the number of times PDs requesting power on the port have been denied because of insufficient power available. Each occurrence generates an Event Log message.
Voltage	The total voltage, in volts, being delivered to PDs.
Power	The total power, in watts, being delivered to PDs.
LLDP Detect	Port is enabled or disabled for allocating PoE power, based on the link-partner's capabilities via LLDP.
Configured Type	If configured, shows the user-specified identifier for the port. If not configured, the field is empty.
Value	The maximum amount of PoE power allocated for that port (expressed in watts). Default: 17 watts for PoE; 33 watts for PoE+
Power Class	Shows the power class of the PD detected on the indicated port. Classes include: 0: 0.44 to 12.95 watts 1: 0.44 to 3.84 watts 2: 3.84 to 6.49 watts 3: 6.49 to 12.95 watts 4: For PoE+; up to 25.5 watts can be drawn by the PD
MPS Absent Cnt	Shows the number of times a detected PD has no longer requested power from the port. Each occurrence generates an Event Log message. ("MPS" refers to the "maintenance power signature.")
Short Cnt	Shows the number of times the switch provided insufficient current to a connected PD.
Current	The total current, in mA, being delivered to PDs.
