legacy-inline-power

Enables legacy power-consuming device detection globally, on multiple interfaces or on all ports of the stack.
Syntax
legacy-inline-power[ethernetunit /slot/port[tounit /slot/port|[ethernetunit /slot/porttounit /slot/port|ethernetunit /slot/port]...]]
no legacy-inline-power[ethernetunit /slot/port[tounit /slot/port|[ethernetunit /slot/porttounit /slot/port|ethernetunit /slot/port]...]]
Parameters
ethernetunit/slot/port
Enables legacy power-consuming device detection on specific interfaces.
tounit/slot/port
Specifies the range of ports on which you want to enable legacy power-consuming device detection.
Command Default

PoE support for legacy power-consuming devices are not enabled by default.

Modes

Global configuration mode

Stack configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Do not enable this command on ports where power-consuming devices are not connected.

With global configuration enabled, if the legacy-inline-power is configured at the interface level, it will be displayed in the interface level running configuration. Port-level legacy power-consuming device detection cannot be disabled from the global configuration mode. That is, when the legacy-inline-power configuration is removed globally (from enable configuration), it is not required for the user to configure legacy-inline power on the individual ports where it was already enabled.

By default, the legacy-inline-power command reserves 30 watts.

When the legacy support is disabled, 802.3af- and 802.3at-compliant devices are not affected.

The no form of the command disables support for PoE legacy power-consuming devices.

Examples

The following example enables support for legacy power-consuming devices on multiple interfaces.

device(config)# legacy-inline-power ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/10
