Note the following during the configuration: 
1)  When the apply poe-profile command is used to apply a PoE profile to a port, some PoE features in 
the PoE profile can be applied successfully while some cannot. PoE profiles are applied to Switch 
4200G according to the following rules: 
z  When the apply poe-profile command is used to apply a PoE profile to a port, the PoE profile is 
applied successfully only if one PoE feature in the PoE profile is applied properly. When the 
display current-configuration command is used for query, it is displayed that the PoE profile is 
applied properly to the port.  
z  If one or more features in the PoE profile are not applied properly on a port, the switch will prompt 
explicitly which PoE features in the PoE profile are not applied properly on which ports. 
z  The display current-configuration command can be used to query which PoE profile is applied to 
a port. However, the command cannot be used to query which PoE features in a PoE profiles are 
applied successfully.
