power inline consumptio n
power inline co nsumption
To set the default power that is allocated to an interface for all the inline-power-capable interfaces on
the switch, use the power inline consumption command. To return to the default values, use the no form
of this command.
power inline consumption default milliwatts
no power inline consumption default
Syntax Description
Defaults Milliw att mode is set to 15400.
Command Modes Global c onfiguratio n mode
Usage Guidelines The inline power consumption command overrides the power allocat ed to the port t hroug h IEEE/C isco
phone discovery and CDP/LLDP powe r negotiation. To guarantee safe operation of the sys tem, ensure
that the value configured here is no less than the actual power requirement of the attached device. If the
power drawn by the inline powered devices exceeds the capability of the power supply, it could trip the
power supply.
If your interface is not capable of supporting Power over Ethernet, you will receive this message:
Power over Ethernet not supported on interface Admin
Examples This example shows how to set the Power over Ethernet allocation to use 8000 mW, regardless of any
CDP packet that is received from the powered device:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# power inline consumption default 8000
Switch(config)# end
Switch#

allocation.
