Power Over Ethernet Commands
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
526
enable inline-power
enable inline-power
Description
Enables PoE power to all ports; on a modular switch, this is all ports on all slots.
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.
Default
Enable.
Usage Guidelines
You can control whether inline power is provided to the system by using the
disable inline-power
command and the
enable inline-power
command. By default, inline power provided to all ports is
enabled.
Enabling inline power starts the PoE detection process used to discover, classify, and power remote PDs.
NOTE
When you are working on a modular switch, if your chassis has an inline power module and there is not enough
power to supply a slot, that slot will not be powered on; the slot will not function in data-only mode without enough
power for inline power.
Disabling inline power using the
disable inline-power
command does
not
affect the data traffic
traversing the port. And, disabling the port using the
disable port
command does not affect the inline
power supplied to the port.
However, when you issue the command
disable slot
for a modular switch on a slot holding a PoE
module, the inline power is also disabled; that slot is totally offline.
NOTE
Inline power cannot be delivered to connected PDs unless the Summit X450e-24p switch is powered; in a modular
switch, both the BlackDiamond 8800 chassis and module must be powered.
On modular switches, to deliver inline power to connected PDs, you must also reserve adequate power
for the slot with the PDs using the
configure inline-power budget slot
command.
