QuestionQ109

Switching

A senior network-operations engineer reports an intermittent issue in which some PoE-powered devices randomly lose power. While investigating, you find that port 1 on the Acc-1 switch is currently exhibiting the behavior shown in the Acc-1 CLI output.

What is a probable reason port 1/1/1 is being denied PoE?

  • A This switch does not support PoE class 4.
  • B switch PoE power budget exceeded
  • C PoE port priority set to low
  • D PoE was manually disabled for port 1/1/1
Explanation

The switch has only 9.40 W of PoE capacity remaining, while port 1/1/1 has detected a class 4 powered device that requires more power than is available. When a powered device requests more than the remaining switch PoE budget, the switch denies power; a low-priority port is more likely to be denied when capacity is constrained.
