Chapter 8 Configuring Power over Ethernet
To change the power consumption for the entire switch, perform this task:
This example shows how to set the default PoE consumption of all powered devices connected to the
switch to 5000 milliwatts:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# power inline consumption default 5000
Switch(config)# end
Switch#
This example shows how to verify the PoE consumption:
Switch# show power inline consumption default
Default PD consumption : 5000 mW
Switch#
To change the power consumption of a single powered device, perform this task:
This example shows how to set the PoE consumption to 5000 milliwatts for Fast Ethernet interface 4/1
regardless what is mandated by the 802.3af class of the discovered device, or by any CDP packet
received from the powered device:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 4/1
Switch(config-if)# power inline consumption 5000
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch#
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch(config)# [no] power inline consumption
default
milli-watts
Sets the PoE consumption (in milliwatts) of all powered
devices connected to the switch. The power consumption can
range from 4000 to 15,400.
To re-enable the automatic adjustment of consumption,
either use the no keyword or specify 15,400 milliwatts.
Step 2
Switch(config)# end
Exits configuration mode.
Step 3
Switch# show power inline consumption default
Displays the administrative PoE consumption of powered
devices connected to the switch. The administrative PoE is
not the measured PoE value.
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch(config)# interface {fastethernet |
gigabitethernet}
slot
/
port
Selects the interface to configure.
Step 2
Switch(config-if)# [no] power inline
consumption
milli-watts
Sets the PoE consumption (in milliwatts) of the powered
device connected to a specific interface. The power
consumption can range from 4000 to 15,400.
To re-enable the automatic adjustment of consumption,
either use the no keyword or specify 15,400 milliwatts.
Step 3
Switch(config-if)# end
Exits configuration mode.
Step 4
Switch# show power inline consumption
{fastethernet | gigabitethernet}
slot
/
port
Displays the PoE consumption for the interface.
