NETGEAR M4250-10G2XF-PoE++ (GSM4212UX)_lldpcli Command setting issue

Hello, 

Thank you for any help or advice in advance.

Under M4250 CLI Command Mode to check the status of POE, it always shows the maximum power watt:99W)_below picture

 I want to know which command can show the real allocated power value Under M4250 CLI Command Mode.

 

 

At same time , on Ubuntu platform , when using lldpcli command to ask for required power watt,for exsample:13W or 25.5W , then ,M4250 show the real power watt, and also show from screen. See below pictures.

 

Ubuntu_ lldpcli command_13W

 

Ubuntu_ lldpcli command_25.5W

    Not sure what you expect.

     

    The switch PoE circuitry isn't limiting the power to what the PD does request, the max available is still 99.9W (due to regulatory definitions max. under 100 Watts), permitting the switch has enough power available within it's total power available.

     

    If you have a wall outlet of 120V and 15 Amps, connect a heater 1500 Watt heater, drawing 12.5 Amps, the outlet is still 1800 Watts.

     

    If requesting 15.0 W resp. 25.5 W from the PSE, the PD does get a credit reservation of the requested amount of power. If draws 15.066 W, this is more than what you have reserved with 15.0 W. Review your PD hardware (or for the sake of it your test case).

      Hi , 

      Thank you for the reply , 

      explain more detail as below,

      When powered device requests 13 watts or 25.5watts, then PSE_M4250 allocate 13watts or 25.5watts actually. We did an experiment at same time when  powered device requests 13 watts and we adds extra loads, then PSE will close power delivery to start power protection. According to this result means that PSE allocates actual watts based on requested watt from  power device.

      Although we approved this , but when we check the NETGEAR CLI Command which we can’t find the actual watts allocated by PSE_M4250.(It always show 99watts,see below picture). My question is where or how can I fine the real allocated watts from M4250 web terminal? which function or command can I use? 

      on PSE_M4250 web termial

      However, below is an example from  CISCO catalyst9400 POE Switch.

      Under CISCO CLI Command Mode,we can use ”show power inline” Command” to check the allocated power on the PSW Switch.
