User Guidelines
This command is only operational on N3000P series switches and only applies
to the first 12 interfaces on each stack unit (i.e., Gi1/0/1-12). Only use this
command when the interface is connected to a device that can accept power
on all four pairs of wires (that is, on both the signal and spare pairs). Class D
or better cabling is required for feeds in excees of 34.2W.
Power inline high-power (default) must also be enabled to deliver power on
all four pairs.
Only static configuration is supported for four-pair power. Use the power
inline management static command to enable four-pair power feed.
Use this command only with devices that require up to 60W of power.
Command History
Introduced in version 6.3.0.1 firmware.
