Variable Value
Power(watts) Indicates the total power (in watts) available to the switch.
OperStatus Indicates the power state of the switch:
• on
•
off
• faulty
This is a read-only cell.
Consumption
Power(watts)
Indicates the power (in watts) being used by the switch. This is a read-
only cell.
UsageThreshol
d%
Indicates the percentage of the total power usage of the switch above
which the system sends a trap.
Important:
You must enable the traps (NotificationControlEnable) to receive a
power usage trap.
Notification
ControlEnable
Indicates whether the sending of traps if the switch power usage exceeds
the configured threshold percentage is enabled (true) or disabled
(false).
PowerDevice
DetectType
Indicates the power detection type that the switch uses to detect a

Values include:
• 802.3af
• 802.3af and legacy
PowerPresent Indicates the currently used power source. Available power sources are
AC and DC.
• acOnly—indicates that the only power supply is AC
• dcOnly—indicates that the only power supply is DC
