Chapter 1 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
To return to the default setting, use the no power inline consumption default global configuration
command.
To configure amount of power budgeted to a powered device connected to a specific PoE port, follow
these steps beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
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 in the “Configuring Interface Characteristics” chapter of the software configuration
guide for this release.
To enable policing of the real-time power consumption of a powered device connected to a PoE port, follow
these steps beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Step 5
show power inline consumption
default
Displays the power consumption status.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
no cdp run (Optional) Disables CDP.
Step 3
interface interface-id Specifies the physical port to be configured, and enter interface
configuration mode.
Step 4
power inline consumption wattage Configures the power consumption of a powered device connected to a
PoE port on the switch. The range for each device is 4000 to 15400 mW.
The default is 15400 mW.
Note When you use this command, we recommend you also enable
power policing.
Step 5
end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show power inline consumption Displays the power consumption data.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id Specifies the physical port to be configured, and enter interface
configuration mode.
