Operational Status	Operational status of the PoE interface. The operational status can have one of the following values: ON—The interface is currently supplying power to a powered device. OFF—PoE is enabled on the interface, but the interface is not currently supplying power to a powered device. FAULT—PoE interface is in the OFF state due to a fault condition. Disabled—PoE is disabled on the interface.
Max Power Limit	Maximum power that can be provided by the interface.
Priority	Interface power priority—High or Low.
Power Consumption	Amount of power being used by the interface.
Class	Class of the powered device—IEEE 802.3af (PoE) or IEEE 802.3at (PoE+). Class 0 is the default class and is used when the class of the powered device is unknown. If no powered device is connected, this column displays Not Applicable.
LLDP Negotiation Priority	Interface power priority negotiated by LLDP.
LLDP Negotiation Power	Amount of power negotiated by LLDP, to be used by the interface.
