Configuring Perpetual PoE

Complete the following steps to configure perpetual PoE and fast boot PoE on a per-port basis.
  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Specify the interface to be configured in interface configuration mode. 
    device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
  3. Configure perpetual PoE using the inline power poe-ha command.
    Note: Configure the inline power poe-ha command before connecting the PD. If the ports are configured before the PDs are connected, power is supplied to the PDs even while the unit is reloading. 
    device(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# inline power poe-ha
    In the PoE restart process, perpetual PoE will be always on, irrespective of the configuration. In a system reload case, if the configuration is not saved to the startup configuration, perpetual PoE comes on only with the next reload or power cycle.
