ABSTRACT:
A controller in PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) controls how to provision uninterruptible power through corresponding data ports (and cables) of the PSE to network devices. For example, the controller receives power profile information associated with the network devices indicating how to provision power to the network devices during a power failure such as when an uninterruptible power supply providing power to the power sourcing equipment runs on a battery rather than failed primary wall power. In response to detecting a power failure condition, the power sourcing equipment provisions power to the network devices based on the power profile information associated with the network devices. Consequently, the PSE can smartly provision power to more critical network devices while in a power failure mode rather than provision power to the network devices in the same way before and after occurrence of the power failure mode.
