To assign the port to multiple VLANs, use Network Assistant or the CLI.

PoE	The Power over Ethernet (PoE) state of the port: Off—A PoE device is not connected to the port. Admin Off—The port is set to never provide power to a connected PoE device. Error-Disabled—The port is disabled due to a misconfiguration or violation on the switch. On—A PoE device is connected to the port, and this port can provide it with power. Power Deny—The power budget is allocated to other ports, and this port is denied providing power to a connected PoE device. If the port is supplying power to a device, the state includes the number of watts that is allocated to the port. Note: This status is available only from PoE switches.
