Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS - Disable Inline-Power Legacy

disable inline-power legacy
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
521
disable inline-power legacy
disable inline-power legacy
Description
Disables the non-standard (or capacitance) power detection mechanism for the stand-alone switch.
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables
Default
Disable.
Usage Guidelines
This command disables the non-standard power-detection mechanism on the switch. Legacy PDs do not
conform to the IEEE 802.3af standard but may be detected by the switch through a capacitance
measurement.
However, measuring the power through capacitance is used only if this parameter is enabled and after
an unsuccessful attempt to discover the PD using the standard resistance measurement method. The
default for legacy is disabled.
The reason legacy detection is configurable is that it is possible for a normal (non-PoE) device to have a
capacitance signature that causes the device to be detected as a legacy PoE device and have power
delivered to it, potentially causing damage to the device.
Example
The following command disables capacitance detection of PDs on the switch:

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.5.
