power inline police
power inline police
To configure Power over Ethernet policing on a particular interface, use the power inline police
command. The no form of the command disables PoE policing on an interface.
power inline police [action] [errdisable | log]
no power inline police [action] [errdisable | log]
Syntax Description
Defaults PoE policing is disabled.
Command Modes Interface configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines If a port is in the errdisable state because of a PoE policing fault, enter the shut command followed by
a no shut on the interface to make the port operational again.
You can also configure inline-power errdisable autorecovery so that an errdisabled interface is
automatically revived when the errdisable autorecovery timer expires.
Examples This example shows how to enable PoE policing and configure a policing action:
Switch(config)# int gigabitEthernet 2/1
Switch(config-if)# power inline police
Switch(config-if)# do show power inline police gigabitEthernet 2/1

action (Optional) Specifies the action to take on the port when a PoE policing fault
occurs (the device consumes more power than it’s allocated).
errdisable (Optional) Enables PoE policing on the interface and places the port in an
errdisable state when a PoE policing fault occurs.
log (Optional) Enables PoE policing on the interface and, if a PoE policing fault
occurs, shuts, restarts the port, and logs an error message.
