3.19.2 PoE Port Configuration

Use this command to configure the PoE port parameters. Set the maximum power the PoE port can deliver to the PD, PoE and Power management Mode, PoE port priority, enable/disable LLDP on the port and specify the cable length to assist in port power optimization.

Command Syntax:

poe type { type3-15w | type3-30w | type3-60w | type4-90w }
poe mode { standard | plus }
poe power-management { dynamic | static | hybrid }
poe priority { low | high | critical }
poe lldp 
poe max-cable-length { max-10 | max-30 | max-60 | max-100 }

Argument

Description

Parameter

type3-15w | type3-30w | type3-60w | type4-90w

The maximum power the PoE port can deliver to the PD before shutting it down. Power demotion is supported, and a lower power may in effect by provided. Default value is 90W.

standard

PoE port is enabled and compliant with IEEE® 802.3bt specification. Default setting is standard

plus

PoE port is enabled and supports non IEEE-802.3-af/at/bt PoE PDs. Default setting is standard

dynamic

Deduct from the free available power the actual PD power consumption, ignoring PD class. Default setting is dynamic.

static

Use PD class to deduct from the free available power, considering power demotion, while ignoring actual PD power consumption. Default setting is dynamic.

hybrid

A mixture of dynamic and static power management. Any PoE port configured as Hybrid acts as if it were configured to dynamic mode unless it has negotiated a maximum power consumption over LLDP. A port that negotiated a successful maximum PoE power over LLDP is switched automatically to static mode, limited to the negotiated power. The default setting is dynamic.

low | high | critical

Controls the order of the PoE ports during the Power-On and Power-Off sequences whenever overall power consumption exceeds the maximum available power. Critical ports turn-on first and turn-off last. The default priority is low.

max-10 | max-30 | max-60 | max-100

Ethernet cable length. Default value is 100 meters

Default

N.A

Mode

Port List Interface mode

Usage

Configure PoE port parameters. To revert to the default or disable PoE mode, use the 'no' version of the command.

Example

Example 1:

Disable PoE on port 1.

# configure terminal
(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 1/1
(config-if)# no poe mode

Example 2:

Enable PoE on port 1, set the mode to plus, power to 30W and enable LLDP.

# configure terminal
(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 1/1
(config-if)# poe mode plus
(config-if)# poe type type3-30w
(config-if)# poe lldp
