A method of responding to an overload condition includes supplying power on a communication medium in order to provide power to a network element coupled to the communication medium. The method further includes determining if an overload condition exists. If the overload condition exists, the supply of power on the communication medium is stopped for a predetermined period of time. After the predetermined period of time has elapsed, resuming supplying power on the communication medium. If the overload condition still exists after resuming supplying power on the communication medium, signaling a first alarm and/or shutting down a power supply used to supply power on the communication medium.
