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.
