Which action is taken by switch port enabled for PoE power classification override?

A. B. C. D.A.
PoE monitoring and policing compares the power consumption on ports with the administrative maximum value (either a configured maximum value or the port's default value)
If the power consumption on a monitored port exceeds the administrative maximum value, the following actions occur: - A syslog message is issued.
- The monitored port is shut down and error-disabled.
- The allocated power is freed.

When a switch port is enabled for PoE power classification override, it means that the switch will ignore the power requirements reported by the powered device and instead apply a predetermined amount of power to the port. This can be useful in situations where the powered device does not properly report its power requirements or where the administrator wants to ensure that a certain amount of power is always available to the device.
To address the specific answer choices:
A. If a monitored port exceeds the maximum administrative value for power, the port is shutdown and err-disabled. This is not directly related to the PoE power classification override feature. However, it is true that a switch may shutdown a port if it exceeds the maximum allowed power consumption.
B. When a powered device begins drawing power from a PoE switch port, a syslog message is generated. This is also not related to the PoE power classification override feature. However, it is true that the switch can generate syslog messages related to PoE events.
C. As power usage on a PoE switch port is checked, data flow to the connected device is temporarily paused. This is not true. The switch does not pause data flow when checking power usage on a PoE port.
D. If a switch determines that a device is using less than the minimum configured power, it assumes the device has failed and disconnects it. This is also not related to the PoE power classification override feature. However, it is true that the switch may disconnect a device if it is not receiving enough power or if it detects a fault with the device.
So, to summarize, the correct answer is: None of the above.
