PoE Considerations
The PoE and PoE+ power supplied by the GS324TP switch is prioritized in
ascending port order (from port 1 to port 24), with a total power budget of 190
watts. If the power requirements for the attached powered devices (PDs) exceed
the total power budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-numbered port is
disabled to make sure that the PDs that are connected to the higher-priority,
lower-numbered ports are supported first.
The following table describes the PoE classes and switch allocations.

provide power closer to the power reserved by the switch.
