Abstract
A method for rapidly reducing power in the event of a change in power source conditions, comprising: obtaining an indicator of one of current power consumption of ports being supplied power and current power allocation of ports being supplied power; storing for at least one possible power source condition different than a current power source condition identifiers of ports being supplied power for which power is to be reduced, the identifiers being associated with the at least one power source condition; and in the event of a change in power source condition from the current power source condition to a revised power source condition; identifying the revised power source condition as one of the at least one power source condition; and reducing power to ports in accordance with the stored identifiers associated with the revised power source condition.
