ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
518
configure inline-power usage-threshold
configure inline-power usage-threshold <threshold>
Description
Sets the inline power usage SNMP event threshold.
Syntax Description
Default
70.
Usage Guidelines
This command sets the threshold for generating an SNMP event and an Event Management System
(EMS) message. On a modular switch, this threshold is when the measured power for a PoE module
compared to the budgeted power for that slot exceeds a certain value. On stand-alone switches, this
threshold applies to the total power available to the entire switch. The configured threshold value
initiates the event and message once that percentage of the budgeted power is being used.
On a modular switch, the PoE threshold applies only to the percentage
per
slot
of measured to budgeted
power use; it does not apply systemwide.
The system generates an additional SNMP event and EMS message once the power usage falls
below
the
threshold again; once the condition clears.
Example
The following command sets the inline power usage alarm threshold at 75%:
configure inline-power usage-threshold 75
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1
Platform Availability

switch and the Summit X450e-24p switch.
threshold
Specifies the percentage of budgeted power used on any PoE module or stand-
alone switch that causes the system to send an SNMP event and create a log
message. The range 1 to 99; the default value is 70.
