Enabling PoE on a Port
PoE is disabled by default. Enable PoE on a port from INTERFACE mode using the command 
power inline 
{
auto 
[
max_milliwatts
]
 
| static 
[
max_milliwatts
]}.
The 
power inline auto
 command allows the port to determine the amount of power that a connected 
Class 1–4 powered device requires, and supply it. See 
.
The 
power inline static
 command without the qualifier guarantees 15.4W to the powered device.
You can limit the maximum amount of power (in milliwatts) available to a powered device with the 
command 
power inline auto max_milliwatts
 or with 
power inline static max_milliwatts
Disable PoE on a port using the 
no power inline 
command.
Ports configured with 
power inline auto
 have a lower priority for access to power than those configured 
with 
power inline static
. As a second layer of priority setting, use the 
[
no
power inline priority
 command. 
Use the 
power
 
inline
 
static
 
max_milliwatts
 command to avoid allocating more power than necessary to a 
port because allocated power is made unavailable to other ports regardless of whether it is consumed. 
Typical IP phones use 3-10 Watts.
