Understanding How Inline Power Works The Catalyst 4006 switch and the Catalyst 4500 series switches can sense if a powered device is connected to an inline power module. The Catalyst 4006 switch and the Catalyst 4500 series switches can supply inline power to the powered device if there is no power on the circuit. The powered device can also be connected to an AC power source and supply its own power to the voice circuit. If there is power on the circuit, the switch does not supply it. Note A powered device is any device that is connected to the switch that requires external power or can utilize inline power. An access point or IP phone is an example of this device type. Table 28-3 lists the switch components that support inline power.

If your switch has a module that can provide inline power to end stations, you can set each port on the module to detect and apply inline power automatically if the end station requires power. Note For information on powering powered devices that are connected to other Catalyst switching modules, refer to the Catalyst Family Inline-Power Patch Panel Installation Note. You can power only one device for each port; you must connect the phone directly to the switch port. If you daisy chain a second phone off the phone that is connected to the switch port, the switch cannot power the second phone. The WS-X4148-RJ45V switching modules can supply a maximum of 6.3 W per port and is 100 percent efficient. To determine the power requirements for your configuration, you need to estimate the following: • Power requirements for all powered devices for the entire switch and for each module. • Maximum power that is available per port for each module. • Total available inline power that is available for the switch (see Table 28-1 on page 28-4 and the PEM documentation). • When using variable power supplies, consider the required system power (see Table 28-2 on page 28-9). 78-15486-01 Catalyst 4500 Series, Catalyst 2948G, Catalyst 2980G Switches Software Configuration Guide-Release 8.1 28-11

Power Management
Understanding How Inline Power Works
If the bridge priority of the Catalyst 4006 switch has been lowered administratively and you use the
same configuration in the new Catalyst 4500 series switch, then the switch remains the root switch
and the spanning tree topology does not change.
Understanding How Inline Power Works
The Catalyst 4006 switch and the Catalyst 4500 series switches can sense if a powered device is
connected to an inline power module. The Catalyst 4006 switch and the Catalyst 4500 series switches
can supply inline power to the powered device if there is no power on the circuit. The powered device
can also be connected to an AC power source and supply its own power to the voice circuit. If there is
power on the circuit, the switch does not supply it.
Note
A powered device is any device that is connected to the switch that requires external power or can utilize
inline power. An access point or IP phone is an example of this device type.
Table 28-3
lists the switch components that support inline power.
You can configure the switch to stop supplying power to the powered device and
to
disable the detection
mechanism. If your switch has a module that can provide inline power to end stations, you can set each
port on the module to detect and apply inline power automatically if the end station requires power.
Note
For information on powering powered devices that are connected to other Catalyst switching modules,
refer to the
Catalyst Family Inline-Power Patch Panel Installation Note
.
You can power only one device
for each port; you must connect the phone directly to the switch port. If
you daisy chain a second phone off the phone that is connected to the switch port, the switch cannot
power the second phone.
The WS-X4148-RJ45V switching modules
can supply a maximum of 6.3 W per port and is 100 percent
efficient.
To determine the power requirements for your configuration, you need to estimate the following:
Power requirements for all powered devices for the entire switch and for each module.
Maximum power that is available per port for each module.
Total available inline power that is available for the switch (see
Table 28-1 on page 28-4
and the
PEM documentation).
When using variable power supplies, consider the required system power (see
Table 28-2 on
page 28-9
).
