Use the
no
form of the command to disable the port from receiving inline power.
NOTE
Inline power should not be configured between two switches, as it may cause unexpected behavior.
NOTE
FastIron PoE and PoE+ devices can automatically detect whether a power-consuming device is
802.3af- or 802.3at-compliant.
Disabling support for PoE legacy power-consuming devices
Brocade PoE devices automatically support most legacy power-consuming devices (devices not
compliant with 802.3af 802.3at), as well as all 802.3af- and 802.3at-compliant devices. If desired, you
can disable and re-enable support for legacy PoE power-consuming devices on a global basis (on the
entire device) or on individual slots (FSX 800 and FSX 1600 chassis devices only). When you disable
legacy support, 802.3af- and 802.3at-compliant devices are not affected.
To disable support for legacy power-consuming devices on a non-stackable device, enter the following
command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
device(config)# no legacy-inline-power
To disable support for legacy power-consuming devices on a stackable device, enter the following
command at the stack unit CONFIG level of the CLI.
device(config-unit-2)# no legacy-inline-power
On chassis devices, you can disable support for legacy power-consuming devices per slot. To disable
legacy support on all ports in slot 2, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the
CLI.
device(config)# no legacy-inline-power 2
NOTE
The
no legacy-inline-power
command does not require a software reload if it is entered prior to
connecting the PDs. If the command is entered after the PDs are connected, the configuration must be
saved (
write memory
) and the software reloaded after the change is placed into effect.
Syntax:
[no] legacy-inline-power
[
slotnum
]
NOTE
By default, the inline-power command reserves 30 watts. On PoH ports, inline-power reserves 95
watts.
To re-enable support for legacy power-consuming devices after it has been disabled, enter the
legacy-inline-power
command (without the
no
parameter).
The slotnum
variable is required for chassis devices when you disable or re-enable legacy support on
a slot.
