 How Do I Configure My CISCO Switch To Properly Power My PoE Client?

Detailed Instructions

	Command or Action	Purpose
1	enable  Example: Switch> enable	Enables privileged EXEC mode - enter your password if prompted.
2	configure terminal  Example: Switch# configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
3	interface interface-id  Example: Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/1	Specifies the physical port to be configured, and enters interface configuration mode.
4	power inline {auto [max max-wattage] | never |static [max max-wattage]}  Example: Switch(config-if)# power inline auto	Configures the PoE mode on the port.  Keywords and meanings:    auto - Enables powered-device detection; if enough power is available, automatically allocates power to the PoE port after device detection (default setting).    max max-wattage - limits the power allowed on the port; if no value is specified, the maximum is allowed.    max max-wattage - limits the power allowed on the port; range is 4000 to 30000 mW; if no value is specified, the maximum is allowed.    never - disables device detection, and disable power to the port. Note: If a port has a Cisco powered device connected to it, do not use the power inline never command to configure the port. A false link-up can occur, placing the port into the error-disabled state.    static - Enables powered-device detection; pre-allocate (reserve) power for a port before the switch discovers the powered device; the switch reserves power for this port even when no device is connected and guarantees that power will be provided upon device detection. The switch allocates power to a port configured in static mode before it allocates power to a port configured in auto mode.
5	end  Example: Switch(config-if)# end	Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
6	show power inline [interface-id | module switch-number]  Example: Switch# show power inline	Displays PoE status for a switch or a switch stack, for the specified interface, or for a specified stack member. The module switch-number keywords are supported only on stacking-capable switches.
7	copy running-config startup-config  Example: Switch# copy running-config startup-config	(Optional) saves your entries in the configuration file.
