Extended Power via MDI TLV
The extended power via MDI TLV enables advanced PoE management between LLDP-MED endpoints and network connectivity devices.
Advertise the extended power via MDI on all ports that are connected to an 802.3af powered, LLDP-MED endpoint device.
• Power Type — there are two possible power types: power source entity (PSE) or power device (PD). The Dell Networking system is a
PSE, which corresponds to a value of 0, based on the TIA-1057 specication.
• Power Source — there are two possible power sources: primary and backup. The Dell Networking system is a primary power source,
which corresponds to a value of 1, based on the TIA-1057 specication.
• Power Priority — there are three possible priorities: Low, High, and Critical. On Dell Networking systems, the default power priority is
High, which corresponds to a value of 2 based on the TIA-1057 specication. You can congure a dierent power priority through the
CLI. Dell Networking also honors the power priority value the powered device sends; however, the CLI conguration takes precedence.
• Power Value — Dell Networking advertises the maximum amount of power that can be supplied on the port. By default the power is
15.4W, which corresponds to a power value of 130, based on the TIA-1057 specication. You can advertise a dierent power value using
the max-milliwatts option with the power inline command. Dell Networking also honors the power value (power requirement)
the powered device sends when the PE is congured with power inline mode class.

Congure LLDP
Conguring LLDP is a two-step process.
1 Enable LLDP globally.
2 Advertise TLVs out of an interface.
Related Conguration Tasks
• Viewing the LLDP Conguration
• Viewing Information Advertised by Adjacent LLDP Agents
• Conguring LLDPDU Intervals
• Conguring Transmit and Receive Mode
• Conguring a Time to Live
• Debugging LLDP
Important Points to Remember
• LLDP is enabled by default.
• Dell Networking systems support up to eight neighbors per interface.
• Dell Networking systems support a maximum of 8000 total neighbors per system. If the number of interfaces multiplied by eight
exceeds the maximum, the system does not congure more than 8000.
• INTERFACE level congurations override all CONFIGURATION level congurations.
• LLDP is not hitless.
