Power Inline Consumption - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Configuration Manual

Chapter 2

power inline consumption

To set the default power that is allocated to an interface for all the inline-power-capable interfaces on
the switch, use the power inline consumption command. To return to the default values, use the no form
of this command.

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
power inline consumption default milliwatts
no power inline consumption default
Specifies the switch to use the default allocation.
Sets the default power allocation in milliwatts; the valid range is from
4000 to 15399. Any non-default value disables automatic adjustment of power
allocation.
Modification
This command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
