Configuring Power Over Ethernet

Command Syntax
To configure an in-line power priority for a POE port on a FSX, enter commands such as the following:
FastIron SuperX Router# config t
FastIron SuperX Router(config)# interface e 1/1
FastIron SuperX Router(config-if-e1000-1/1)# inline power priority 2
These commands enable in-line power on interface e 1 in slot 1 and set the in-line power priority level to high.
Syntax: [no] inline power priority <priority num>
where priority <priority num> is the in-line power priority number. The default is 3 (low priority). You can specify
one of the following values:
• 3 – low priority
• 2 – high priority
• 1 – critical priority
Use the inline power command (without a priority number) to reset a port’s priority to the default (low) priority.
Use the no inline power command to disable the port from receiving in-line power.
For information about resetting the in-line power priority, see “Resetting POE Parameters” on page 6-9.
To view the in-line power priority for all POE ports, issue the show inline power command at the Privileged EXEC
level of the CLI. See “Displaying POE Operational Status” on page 6-10.
Resetting POE Parameters
NOTE: This feature applies to the FSX POE only.
To override or reset POE port parameters including power priority, power class, and maximum power level, you
must specify each POE parameter in the CLI command line. This section provides some examples.
EXAMPLE:
To change a POE port’s power priority from high to low (the default value) and keep the current maximum
configured power level of 3000, enter commands such as the following:
FastIron SuperX Router# config t
FastIron SuperX Router(config)# interface e 1/1
FastIron SuperX Router(config-if-e1000-1/1)# inline power priority 3 power-limit
3000
Note that you must specify both the inline power priority and the maximum power level (power-limit command),
even though you are keeping the current configured maximum power level at 3000. If you do not specify the
maximum power level, the device will apply the default value of15400 (15.4 watts). Also, you must specify the
inline power priority before specifying the power limit.
EXAMPLE:
To change a port’s power class from 2 (4 watts max) to 3 (7 watts max) and keep the current configured power
priority of 2, enter commands such as the following:
FastIron SuperX Router# config t
FastIron SuperX Router(config)# interface e 1/1
FastIron SuperX Router(config-if-e1000-1/1)# inline power priority 2 power-by-class
3
Note that you must specify both the power class and the inline power priority, even though you are not changing
the power priority. If you do not specify the power priority, the device will apply the default value of 3 (low priority).
Also, you must specify the inline power priority before specifying the power class.
