inline power couple-datalink

Links the behavior of PoE configuration with interface disable or interface enable configuration.
Syntax
inline power couple-datalink
no inline power
Command Default

Data link operation is decoupled with inline power by default.

Modes

Interface configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

When they are linked, the interface disable command also removes the power on the port (disables power when interface is disabled).

The following are some datalink operations that can affect the operational state of the PoE on PoE ports when datalink coupling is enabled:

  • Using the disable command on the power sourcing equipment (PSE) port interface.
  • LAG operational changes can affect the PoE power state if datalink coupling is enabled. That is power on LAG ports are impacted when LAG is undeployed, when the disable command is issued on LAG port, or when an interface is deleted from the LAG.

In situations where datalink operations tamper with PoE configurations and disable the power on the port, the interface has to be enabled so as to get the power enabled.

To reinstate the default setting of datalink decouple configuration, user must configure the inline power command on the interface.

The no function of the inline power couple-datalink command does not restore the default setting but only disables the power on the port.

Examples

The following example couples datalink operations with inline power.

device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# inline power couple-datalink

The following example reinstates the default datalink decouple configuration on an interface.

device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# inline power
