Configuring Ports
Step 3
Table 3-3
lists and describes the port’s configurable parameters. Follow the instructions in the table to
make any desired changes.
Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
Determines if the connecting device is equipped to receive power
through the Ethernet cable and if so provides -48 VDC.
Values:
Enable or Disable
Note
Some older Cisco access points do not draw PoE even if it is
enabled on the controller port. In such cases, contact the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
Note
The controller in the Catalyst 3750G Integrated Wireless LAN
Controller Switch supports PoE on all ports.

Port Parameters
Parameter
Description
Admin Status
Enables or disables the flow of traffic through the port.
Options:
Enable or Disable
Default:
Enable
Note
Administratively disabling the port on a controller does not
affect the port’s link status. The link can be brought down only
by other Cisco devices. On other Cisco products, however,
administratively disabling a port brings the link down.
Physical Mode
Determines whether the port’s data rate is set automatically or
specified by the user. The supported data rates vary based on
controller type.
Default:
Auto
Controller
