Abstract
Methods and systems for managing power for a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device are disclosed herein. The method may include obtaining, by a supervisor, power information from a plurality of power supply units (PSUs) to obtain total consumed power; obtaining, by the supervisor, a total system power capacity value associated with the plurality of PSUs; and calculating, by the supervisor, a total available PoE power value using the total consumed power and the total system power capacity value; and making a first determination, by the supervisor, using the total available PoE power value and a PoE power table, whether a powered device should stop receiving power.
