Cisco Systems 3560 Manual De Usuario

For most situations, the default configuration (auto mode) works well, providing plug-and-play 
operation. No further configuration is required. However, use the following procedure to give a PoE port 
higher priority, to make it data only, or to specify a maximum wattage to disallow high-power powered 
devices on a port.

When you make PoE configuration changes, the port being configured drops power. Depending on the 
new configuration, the state of the other PoE ports, and the state of the power budget, the port might not 
be powered up again. For example, port 1 is in the auto and on state, and you configure it for static mode. 
The switch removes power from port 1, detects the powered device, and repowers the port. If port 1 is 
in the auto and on state and you configure it with a maximum wattage of 10 W, the switch removes power 
from the port and then redetects the powered device. The switch repowers the port only if the powered 
device is a Class 1, Class 2, or a Cisco-only powered device.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a power management mode on a 
PoE-capable port:

Enter global configuration mode.

interface interface-id

Specify the physical port to be configured, and enter interface 
configuration mode.

power inline {auto [max max-wattage] | 
never | static [max max-wattage]}

Configure the PoE mode on the port. The keywords have these meanings:

auto—Enable powered-device detection. If enough power is 
available, automatically allocate power to the PoE port after device 
detection. This is the default setting.

(Optional) max max-wattage—Limit the power allowed on the port. 
The range is 4000 to 15400 milliwatts. If no value is specified, the 
maximum is allowed (15400 milliwatts). 

never—Disable device detection, and disable power to the port. 

If a port has a Cisco powered device connected to it, do not use 
the power inline never command to configure the port. A false 
link-up can occur, placing the port into an error-disabled state. 

static—Enable powered-device detection. Pre-allocate (reserve) 
power for a port before the switch discovers the powered device. The 
switch reserves power for this port even when no device is connected 
and guarantees that power will be provided upon device detection. 

The switch allocates power to a port configured in static mode before it 
allocates power to a port configured in auto mode. 

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

show power inline [interface-id]

Display PoE status for a switch or for the specified interface.

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
