The static power management feature allows operators to reserve a guaranteed amount of power for a PoE port. This is useful for powering up devices which draw variable amounts of power and provide them an assured power range within which to operate. Class based power management allocates power at class limits as opposed to user defined limits. In the Dynamic Power management feature, power is not reserved for a given port at any point of time. The power available with the PoE switch is calculated by subtracting the instantaneous power drawn by all the ports from the maximum available power. Thus, more ports can be powered at the same time. This feature is useful to efficiently power up more devices when the available power with the PoE switch is limited. The Dell EMC Networking PoE solution also provides a global usage threshold feature in order to limit the PoE switch from reaching an overload condition. The operator can specify the limit as a percentage of the maximum power. NOTE: PoE commands are only applicable to copper ports. power inline The power inline command enables/disables the ability of the port to deliver power. Syntax power inline {auto|never} • auto - Enables device discovery and, if a device is found using the method specified by the power inline detection setting, supplies power to the device. • never - Disables the device discovery protocol and stops supplying power to the device. Default Value The default value is auto, that is, device discovery is enabled and the port is capable of delivering power. Command Mode Global Configuration mode Switch Management Commands 2147
