It is useful for network administrators who need to monitor or troubleshoot PoE status on switch ports, such as checking power consumption or identifying PoE-enabled ports.

Use Case Examples

  1. A network admin wants to check the PoE status of port 5 on a switch with a given serial number to ensure connected devices are receiving power.
  2. Automating the retrieval of PoE info for multiple switches to monitor power usage across the network.
