Chapter 11 Configuring Power over Ethernet
Enhanced Power PoE Support on the E-Series Chassis
The default power inline configurations usually are sifficient; no additional configuration is required
even for high power-consumption Cisco powered devices (for example, a Cisco AP1250 Wireless Access
Point). When a high-power consumption device is attached to a port on a WS-X4648-RJ45V-E or
WS-X4648-RJ45V+E line card, the switch and device negotiate power using CDP packets to
automatically determine the extended amount of power needed by the device.
Depending on the deployment requirements and design, you specify a specific configuration with the
power inline command.
The following example shows how to pre-allocate PoE allocation to 16500 mW for Gi 2/1, regardless of
what is mandated either by the 802.3af class of the discovered device or by any CDP packet that is
received from the powered device:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 2/1
Switch(config-if)# power inline static max 16500
Switch(config-if)# end
