Use this command to configure the port priority level for the delivery of power to an attached device. The switch may not be able to supply power to all connected devices, so the port priority is used to determine which ports will supply power if adequate power capacity is not available for all enabled ports. For ports that have the same priority level the lower-numbered port has higher priority.
For a system delivering peak power to a certain number of devices, if a new device is attached to a high-priority port, power to a low-priority port is shut down and the new device is powered up.
