Chapter 12 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure amount of power budgeted to a
powered device connected to a specific PoE port:
To return to the default setting, use the no power inline consumption interface configuration command.
For information about the output of the show power inline consumption privileged EXEC command,
see the command reference for this release.
Configuring Power Policing
By default, the switch monitors the real-time power consumption of connected powered devices. You
can configure the switch to police the power usage. By default, policing is disabled.
For more information about the cutoff power value, the power consumption values that the switch uses,
and the actual power consumption value of the connected device, see the “Power Monitoring and Power
Policing” section.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable policing of the real-time power
consumption of a powered device connected to a PoE port:
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
no cdp run (Optional) Disable CDP.
Step 3
interface interface-id Specify the physical port to be configured, and enter interface
configuration mode.
Step 4
power inline consumption wattage Configure the power consumption of a powered device connected to a
PoE port on the switch.
The range for each de vice is 4000 to 15400 milliwatts on a PoE port and
4000 to 30000 milliwatts on a PoE+ port. The default is 15400 milliwatts
on a PoE port and 30000 milliwatts on a PoE+ port.
Note When you use this command, we recommend you also enable
power policing.
Step 5
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show power inline consumption Display the power consumption status.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id Specify the physical port to be configured, and enter interface
configuration mode.
