To return to the default setting, use the no power inline consumption default interface configuration command.

For information about the output of the show power inline consumption default 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.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable policing of the real-time power consumption of a powered device connected to a PoE port:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
	interface interface-id	Specify the physical port to be configured, and enter interface
		configuration mode.
Step 3
	power inline police [action log]	If the real-time power consumption exceeds the maximum power
		allocation on the port, configure the switch to take one of these actions:
		• Shut down the PoE port, turn off power to it, and put it in the
		error-dsabled state—Enter the power inline police command.
		Note You can enable error detection for the PoE error-disabled cause
		by using the errdisable detect cause inline-power global
		configuration command. You can also enable the timer to recover
		from the PoE error-disabled state by using the errdisable
		recovery cause inline-power interval interval global
		configuration command.
		• Generate a syslog message while still providing power to the
		port—Enter the power inline police action log command.
		If you do not enter the action log keywords, the default action shuts down
		the port and puts the port in the error-disabled state.
Step 4
	exit	Return to global configuration mode.
