Description

The PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) allocates a slightly less value (difference up to ~0.5w) between the PD (Powered Device) requested power values and PSE allocated power values.

To identify the issue execute the CLI command:
user@device> show lldp neighbors interface <interface>
user@device> show poe interface <interface>
