Chapter 12 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Understanding Interface Types
configuration is required or recommended. However, you can specify the powered device's consumption
for a particular interface to provide extra functionality from your switch. This operation is useful when
CDP is disabled or not available.
To change the power consumption of a single powered device, follow these steps:
At a given time, you can use only one of the power negotiation protocols between CDP and LLDP. The
following examples show how to enable or disable the power negotiation protocols:
Switch(config)# [no] lldp run
Switch(config)# [no] cdp run
Note The Power Device (PD) and Power Source Equipment (PSE) should run the same power negotiation
protocol to negotiate power.
Command Purpose
Step 1
interface {fastethernet | gigabitethernet} slot/port Selects the interface to configure.
Step 2
[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 60000.
To reenable the automatic adjustment of consumption, use
the no keyword.
Step 3
end Exits configuration mode.
Step 4
show power inline consumption {fastethernet |
gigabitethernet} slot/port
Displays the PoE consumption for the interface.
