Enable Inline-Power Legacy Slot - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Manual

Power Over Ethernet Commands

enable inline-power legacy slot

enable inline-power legacy slot <slot>
Description
Enables non-standard (or capacitance) power detection mechanism for the specified slot.
Syntax Description
slot Enables non-standard power detection for specified slot.
Default
Disable.
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.
CAUTION
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.
Example
The following command enables capacitance detection of PDs on slot 3:
enable inline-power legacy slot 3
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1.
Platform Availability
This command is available only on the G48P module installed in the BlackDiamond 8800 family of
switches.
