To disable policing of the real-time power consumption, use the no power inline police interface
configuration command. To disable error recovery for PoE error-disabled cause, use the no errdisable
recovery cause inline-power global configuration command.
For information about the output from the show power inline police privileged EXEC command, see
the command reference for this release.
