consumption Fortiswitch FPOE

We want to replace a Cisco switch 2960 for a Fortiswitch.Reason : On the Cisco switch there are a lot of camera's connected.Problem is that some camera's using more consumption of POE than Cisco can deliver.To solve this we were using power injectors. 
On the specs of FORTISWITCH 248E-FPOE or FORTISWITCH 224E-FPOE we see what the max consumption is (for FORTISWITCH 248E-FPOE it's 720 watt).
But we can't see what the maximum consumption is per port, so what's the maximum consumption per port ?

Hello @systeembeheer2 ,

 

FortiSwitch 248E-FPOE supports 802.3af and 802.3at standards. 

 

If we look at these standards. 

 

802.3af supports 15.4W

802.3at supports 25.5W

Hi @systeembeheer2,

 

I believe it is based on the priority of the port. You can refer to https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiswitch/7.4.2/fortilink-guide/801176/configuring-poe

 

You can run this command "get switch-controller <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>" to see Defined Max Power. 

 

Regards,
