Inline power on PoE LAG ports

The inline power on Power over Ethernet (PoE) LAG ports feature allows you to enable inline power on
PoE LAG ports with the introduction of a new inline power ethernet command, available in global
configuration mode.
Without the inline power ethernet command, you cannot enable inline power on any secondary LAG
ports because the interface configuration mode is not available for LAG secondary ports to run the
inline power command.
You can configure inline power in interface configuration mode on a port that is not a member of a LAG.
If that port then becomes part of a LAG, you can use the inline power ethernet command to configure
inline power parameters on any other port in that LAG.
LAG operational changes can affect the PoE power state unless the decouple-datalink keyword is
used as a command option when configuring inline power on the LAG ports. For more information, refer
to "Decouple the PoE and datalink operations on PoE ports."
After configuring inline power on PoE ports, you can verify the configuration using the show running-
config command. If you have configured inline power on a regular PoE port in either global
configuration or interface configuration mode, the inline power configuration commands display under
the interface configuration level. If a regular PoE port becomes a PoE LAG port, or a PoE LAG port is
configured under global configuration mode, the inline power configuration commands display under the
global configuration level. If a LAG is removed, the inline power configuration commands for all ports
display under the interface configuration level.
WARNING
If you downgrade to a release earlier than 08.0.01, there is no backwards compatibility for the inline
power ethernet command or the decouple-datalink keyword.
Restriction
If you want to keep decoupling in place on a PoE port when you configure the inline power ethernet
command to change its other parameters, for example, priority, you must also configure the decouple-
datalink keyword.
