set inlinepower defaultallocation
To set the default power allocation for a port, use the set inlinepower defaultallocation command.
set inlinepower defaultallocation value
Syntax Description
Defaults The default is 15400 milliwatts.
Command Types Switch command.
Command Modes Privileged.
Usage Guidelines The set inlinepower defaultallocation command is global and only affects Cisco IP phones.
Caution The set inlinepower defaultallocation command can be harmful when there is not enough power in the
system to bring up all connected inline power devices. If you set a small value for the power allocation,
all connected inline power devices initially will be powered up. Howe ver , after rec eiving CD P messages,
the system will learn that devices are consuming more power and deny power to some of the ports.
Setting a small value might also result in the overdrawing of power for some time with unanticipated
results, such as hardware failures and unexpected resets.
7000 milliwatts is the maximum power supported for these modules: WS-X6148-RJ21V,
WS-X6148-RJ45V, WS-X6348-RJ21V, and WS-X6348-RJ45V.
Examples This example shows how to set the default power allocation to 9500 milliwatts:
Console> (enable) set inlinepower defaultallocation 9500
Default inline power allocation set to 9500 mWatt per applicable port
Console> (enable)
