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 Sourcing 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
specification.
• 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
specification.
• 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 specification. You can configure a different power priority through the CLI, Dell
Networking also honors the power priority value sent by the powered device. However, the CLI
configuration takes precedence.
• Power Value—Dell Networking advertises the maximum amount of power that can be supplied on the
port. By default it is 15.4W, which corresponds to a Power Value of 130, based on the TIA-1057
specification. You can advertise a different Power Value using the
max-milliwatts option with the
power inline auto | static command. Dell Networking also honors the power value (power requirement)
sent by the powered device when the port is configured for
power inline auto.

Configuring LLDP
Configuring LLDP is a two-step process:
1. Enable LLDP globally. Refer to page 525.
2. Advertise TLVs out of an interface. Refer to page 525.
