Switch Management Commands 2026
User Guidelines
Auto enables the switch to deliver power to the powered device. The power
inline management parameter should be set to class-based mode to enable
power negotiation via LLDP-MED. Dell EMC Networking PoE-enabled ports
should not be connected to other Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) with PoE
enabled. If the switch detects PSE equipment supplying power to a port, PoE
power is disabled on the port. If a port supplying power issues an input power
detected (0x24) status and no device is attached, the port should not be used
as a possible short may exist.
Default Value
The default value is auto, that is, device discovery is enabled and the port is
capable of delivering power.
Examples
console(config)#interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
