Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.

Description

Set the maximum amount of power that the switch can supply to the PoE port.

Note: Although you can set this value when PoE power management is in class mode, it does not establish the maximum power for the port. Instead, the IEEE 802.3af (PoE) or IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) class of the connected device determines the maximum power for the port.

Options

watts —The maximum number of watts that can be supplied to the port.

Range: 0.0 through 15.4 for switches that support IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 0.0 through 30.0 for switches that also support IEEE 802.3at (PoE+)

Default: 15.4 for switches that support IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 30.0 for switches that support IEEE 802.3at (PoE+)

Required Privilege Level
