Enable PoE on a port from INTERFACE mode using the command power inline {auto [max_milliwatts] | static [max_milliwatts]}. • The power inline auto command allows the port to determine the amount of power that a connected Class 1-4 powered device requires, and supply it. See Table 27-1 on page 511. • The power inline static command without the qualifier guarantees 15.4W to the powered device. • You can limit the maximum amount of power (in milliwatts) available to a powered device with the command power inline auto max_milliwatts or with power inline static max_milliwatts • Disable PoE on a port using the no power inline command. Ports configured with power inline auto have a lower priority for access to power than those configured with power inline static. As a second layer of priority setting, use the [no] power inline priority command. Use the power inline static max_milliwatts command to avoid allocating more power than necessary to a port because allocated power is made unavailable to other ports regardless of whether it is consumed. Typical IP phones use 3-10 Watts. Figure 27-1.
