Configurable policy for managing power over ethernet (poe)
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11971765B2) discloses a method and system for managing power distribution over Ethernet in a computer network. The method involves receiving electronic communications containing policies for determining priority levels for Powered Devices (PDs) connected to a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). The PSE assigns priority levels to PDs based on rules defined in the policy, allowing for efficient power distribution. The system comprises multiple PSEs in the network, each equipped with processors and memory to execute actions such as detecting connected PDs, assigning priority levels, and ensuring power distribution aligns with the policy.
The method and system outlined in the patent aim to streamline power allocation in a network by dynamically adjusting priority levels for connected PDs based on available power and policy rules. By utilizing electronic communications and updated sets of rules, the PSEs can efficiently manage power distribution to ensure compliance with the policy. Additionally, the system includes a server component that calculates overall power availability in the network and communicates this information to individual PSEs for coordinated power management. The patent emphasizes the importance of assigning priority levels based on device types, locations, and real-time power availability, enabling optimal power distribution across the network while preventing policy violations.
