the level requested. If the PD goes into power-saving mode, the power supplied is reduced; if the need for power
increases, the amount supplied is increased. PoE and LLDP interact to meet the current power demands.
Syntax:
int <port-list> poe-lldp-detect [enabled | disabled]
Allows the data link layer to be used for power negotiation between a PD on a PoE port and LLDP.
Default: Disabled
Example:
You can enter this command to enable LLDP detection:
switch(config) # int 7 PoE-lldp-detect enabled
or in interface context:
switch(eth-7) # PoE-lldp-detect enabled
NOTE:
Detecting PoE information via LLDP affects only power delivery; it does not affect normal Ethernet
connectivity.
You can view the settings by entering the show power-over-ethernet brief command, as shown in Port
with LLDP configuration information obtained from the device on page 95.

Initiating advertisement of PoE+ TLVs
Syntax:
lldp config <port-list> dot3TlvEnable poe_config
Enables advertisement of data link layer power using PoE+ TLVs. The TLV is processed only after the physical
layer and the data link layer are enabled. The TLV informs the PSE about the actual power required by the device.
Default: Enabled
