PoE Considerations for Switches That
Support PoE
A switch that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) prioritizes the PoE power that it supplies
in ascending port order (that is, from the lowest-numbered port to the highest-numbered
port), up to its total power budget. If the power requirements for the attached powered
devices (PDs) exceed the total power budget of the switch, the PD on the
highest-numbered port is disabled to make sure that the PDs that are connected to the
higher-priority, lower numbered ports are supported first.
Just because a PD is listed as an 802.3at PoE powered device does not necessarily mean
that it requires the maximum power limit of the specification. Many PDs require less
power, allowing all PoE ports to be active simultaneously.
The following table describes the PoE classes and the PoE power that a switch allocates.
