also configure the power limits and power-management priority. The inline power command is
available in interface configuration mode for most PoE ports and the inline power ethernet command
is available in global configuration mode for LAG ports.
Perform the following steps to enable inline power and decouple the behavior of the Power over
Ethernet (PoE) and the datalink operations for regular PoE ports. This task provides a method of
overriding the current default behavior of datalink operations that affect the operation of PoE ports. If
you use the optional decouple-datalink keyword when enabling inline power using the inline power
command, the datalink operational behavior on a PoE port does not affect the power state of the
powered device (PD) that is connecting to the port.
NOTE
To enable inline power and decouple PoE and datalink operations on PoE LAG ports, refer to
"Decoupling of PoE and datalink operations on PoE LAG ports."
Perform this task on the Brocade PSE for any PoE ports that require the decoupling of PoE operations
and datalink operations. Any Layer 2 features can then be configured and deployed on these PoE ports.
1. Enable interface configuration for a PoE port.
The following example enters interface configuration mode for Ethernet port 1/1/1.
Device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
2. Configure inline power on the Ethernet 1/1/1 port with the power-by-class option.
The following example configures inline power on the PoE port, Ethernet 1/1/1, with power-by-class
option 3 and decouples the datalink operations from the PoE operations for this port.
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# inline power decouple-datalink power-by-class 3
3. Enable interface configuration for Ethernet 1/1/2 port.
The following example enters interface configuration mode for Ethernet port 1/1/2.
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# interface ethernet 1/1/2
4. Configure inline power on Ethernet 1/1/2 port with the default option.
The following example configures inline power on Ethernet 1/1/2 port and decouples the datalink
operations from the PoE operations for this port.
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/2)# inline power decouple-datalink
5. Enable interface configuration for Ethernet 1/1/3 port.
The following example enters interface configuration mode for Ethernet port 1/1/3.
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/2)# interface ethernet 1/1/3
6. Configure inline power on Ethernet port 1/1/3 with the power-management priority option.
The following example configures inline power on port 1/1/3 with power-management priority 2 and
decouples the datalink operations from the PoE operations for this port.
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/3)# inline power decouple-datalink priority 2
7. Enables interface configuration for Ethernet 1/1/4 port.
The following example enters interface configuration mode for Ethernet port 1/1/4.
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/3)# interface ethernet 1/1/4
8. Configure inline power on Ethernet 1/1/4 port, specifying the actual power value.
