ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.

enable inline-power legacy slot

enable inline-power legacy slot <slot>

Enables non-standard (or capacitance) power detection mechanism for the specified slot.

Syntax Description

Enables non-standard power detection for specified slot on a modular switch.

Usage Guidelines

This command enables the non-standard power-detection mechanism on the specified slot. Legacy PDs

do not conform to the IEEE 802.3af standard but may be detected by the switch through a capacitance

measurement.

However, measuring the power through capacitance is used only if this parameter is enabled and after

an unsuccessful attempt to discover the PD using the standard resistance measurement method. The

default for legacy is disabled.

A normal (non-PoE) device may have a capacitance signature that causes the device to be detected as a legacy PoE

device (and have power supplied), potentially causing damage to the device.

The following command enables capacitance detection of PDs on slot 3 on a modular switch:

enable inline-power legacy slot 3

This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1.

Platform Availability

This command is available on the G48P and G48Pe modules installed in the BlackDiamond 8800 series
