Power over Ethernet Commands

this switch can detect 802.3af compliant devices and the more recent 802.3af
non-compliant devices that also reflect the test voltages back to the switch. It
cannot detect other legacy devices that do not reflect back the test voltages.
• For legacy devices to be supported by this switch, they must be able to accept
power over the data pairs connected to the 10/100BASE-TX ports.
Example
power inline
This command instructs the switch to automatically detect if a PoE-compliant device
is connected to the specified port, and turn power on or off accordingly. Use the no
form to turn off power for a port.
Syntax
[no] power inline
Default Setting
Detection is enabled for PoE-compliant devices.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration
Command Usage
When detection is enabled for PoE-compliant devices, power is automatically
supplied when a device is detected on the port, providing that the power
demanded does not exceed switch’s power budget.
