Information about 2-event Classification
When a class 4 device gets detected, IOS allocates 30W without any CDP or LLDP negotiation. This means
that even before the link comes up the class 4 power device gets 30W.
Also, on the hardware level the PSE does a 2-event classification which allows a class 4 PD to detect PSE
capability of providing 30W from hardware, register itself and it can move up to PoE+ level without waiting
for any CDP/LLDP packet exchange.
Once 2-event is enabled on a port, you need to manually shut/un-shut the port or connect the PD again to start
the IEEE detection again. Power budget allocation for a class-4 device will be 30W if 2-event classification
is enabled on the port, else it will be 15.4W.
Configuring 2-event Classification
To configure the switch for a 2-event Classification, perform the steps given below:
