Description

Priority

Power supply priority of an interface.

11: indicates the lowest priority.

10: indicates the secondary highest priority.

01: indicates the highest priority.

NOTE:

This field contains four bits. The two left-most bits are reserved for the system.

Power supply source.

PD:

  • 11: indicates the PSE and local source.
  • 10: indicates the local.
  • 01: indicates the PSE.

PSE:

  • 11: indicates to be reserved.
  • 10: indicates the backup power supply.
  • 01: indicates the primary power supply.

Type

Value/Meaning

PSE allocated

PSE allocated power value

  • Power=0.1*(decimal value of bits) Watts. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 255. For example, if the value of the field is 255, the exchange power is 25.5 W.
  • When the PoE power is sufficient, the values of PD Requested Power value and PSE allocated Power value are the same.

 PoE over LLDP Power Negotiation Mechanism

If PoE over LLDP power negotiation function is enabled on PSE, the PSE and the PD will periodically send LLDP packets to each other to perform LLDP power negotiation once the PD device is detected by the PSE. PoE over LLDP power negotiation starts when PSE receives LLDP packets from PD.
