OS Command Line Reference Guide.
The following is a list of the Dell Networking OS version history for this command.
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the C9010.
Usage information
The power inline [max_milliwatts} command enables inline power supply to an interface. You can
specify the maximum amount of power allocation to a device in max-milliwatts, within a range of 440–30000 mW.
If a specific power supply value is not configured, the default value of 30,000 mW is configured as the maximum
power for allocation to powered devices. You can disable the inline power supply to a port using the no power
inline command.
The power inline priority command allows you to specify the power inline priority for an interface when
a power shortage occurs. PoE is removed from ports configured with low priority first, then ports configured
with high priority are disabled. The ports configured with critical priority are the last ports disabled during a
power shortage. When two or more ports are configured with same priority level, the ports with higher interface
numbers are disabled first. For example, if ports 1, 2, 47, and 48 are all configured with a low priority and there is a
shortage of inline power supply, PoE is first disabled on port 48, followed by port 47 and, then port 2. Port 1 (with
the lowest interface number) takes precedence over all other ports and is disabled after all other ports are
disabled.
