power inline
Use this command to turn power on for a specific port or force a port into
test mode. Use the no form to turn off power for a port.
Syntax
power inline [auto | test]
no power inline
• auto - The switch automatically detects if a device is connected to the
port and turns power on or off accordingly.
• test - Forces the port into a test mode. In test mode the port
continuously attempts to detect if a device is connected to the port,
but does not supply power.
Default Setting
auto

Interface Configuration
Command Usage
• Using the command without an argument enables port power in auto
mode (the same as the power inline auto command).
• In the default auto mode, power is automatically supplied when a device
is detected on the port, providing that the power demanded does not
exceed switch’s power budget.

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1
Console(config-if)#power inline auto
