PoE and CPU utilization
Depending on the number of PoE-configured ports that have powered power devices, there may be a
slight and noticeable increase of up to 15 percent in CPU utilization. In typical scenarios, this is normal
behavior for PoE and does not affect the functionality of other features on the switch.
Enabling and disabling Power over Ethernet
To enable a port to receive inline power for power consuming devices, enter commands such as the
following.
device#configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
device(config-if-e1000-1/1)# inline power
After entering the above commands, the console displays the following message.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1)#PoE Info: Power enabled on port 1/1.
Syntax: [no] inline power
Use the no form of the command to disable the port from receiving inline power.
