the switch, use the power inline consumption command. To return to the default values, use the no form

Usage Guidelines The inline power consumption command overrides the power allocated to the port through IEEE/Cisco
phone discovery and CDP/LLDP power negotiation. To guarantee safe operation of the system, ensure
that the value configured here is no less than the actual power requirement of the attached device. If the
power drawn by the inline powered devices exceeds the capability of the power supply, it could trip the
power supply.
If your interface is not capable of supporting Power over Ethernet, you will receive this message:
Power over Ethernet not supported on interface Admin
