The power inline command is used to set the detection method of the PoE links. To define the maximum power that can be delivered by the external PoE Power Supply, use the power inline command in Global Configuration Mode.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
detect legacy |
Sets the Power Over Ethernet to legacy detect mode. Legacy mode is for old PoE devices, which are not IEEE compliant. | |
detect strict |
Sets the Power Over Ethernet to strict detect mode. This is meant for IEEE supported devices. | |
max-power-supply |
Max-power-supply is followed by an integer value with
a range of 100 - 6000. This value denotes the maximum wattage the
external PoE power supply or supplies can provide to the switch.
External Power Supplies may be wired in parallel.
This value is used as follows: The switch will only provide power to PoE devices up to this value. The max-power-supply, if set too high, might cause devices to be oversubscribed, and all devices will become starved for power. If the calculated power consumption exceeds the max-power-supply and when too much power is drawn, PoE devices will be shut down. The order is determined by PoE Port Priority and Numbering. The lower the port number, the higher the priority. |
