Usage
Information
The power inline mode command allows you to manage inline power supply on the port extender
(PE) ports. You can configure class or static mode to manage inline power in a port extender.
When class mode is configured, maximum power for the particular class of device is allocated. Class
mode supports power allocation via Layer 2 classification and power negotiation by Link Layer Discovery
Protocol (LLDP) 802.3at standard . When static mode is configured, the inline power is allocated based
on the actual power consumption by the powered device. Power negotiation via LLDP is not supported in
static mode.
Use this command in Configuration Terminal Batch mode to manage inline power supply in a dual-homing
setup.
The following examples show power management mode, “class” configured for the port extender 255.
