WARNING
If you want to keep decoupling in place on a PoE port when you configure the inline power ethernet
command to change its other parameters, for example, priority, you must also configure the decouple-
datalink keyword.
WARNING
If you downgrade to a release earlier than 08.0.01, that release will not honor inline power commands
using the decouple-datalink keyword and any inline power commands in the startup config will not be
effective.
Examples
Inline power on LAG ports example
The following example shows how to configure inline power on LAG ports.
Device(config)# lag "mylag" static id 5
Device(config-lag-mylag)# ports ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/4
Device(config-lag-mylag)# primary-port 1/1/1
Device(config-lag-mylag)# deploy
LAG mylag deployed successfully!
Device(config)#inline power ethernet 1/1/1 power-by-class 3
Device(config)#inline power ethernet 1/1/2
Device(config)#inline power ethernet 1/1/3 priority 2
Device(config)#inline power ethernet 1/1/4 power-limit 12000
Decoupling of inline power and datalink operations on PoE LAG ports example
The following example shows how to decouple the behavior of the PoE and the datalink operations for
PoE LAG ports. After the optional decouple-datalink keyword in the inline power ethernet command
is entered, the datalink operational behavior on a PoE port does not affect the power state of the
powered device (PD) that is connecting to the port.
Device(config)#inline power ethernet 1/1/1 decouple-datalink power-by-class 3
Device(config)#inline power ethernet 1/1/2 decouple-
datalink
Device(config)#inline power ethernet 1/1/3 decouple-datalink priority 2
Device(config)#inline power ethernet 1/1/4 decouple-datalink power-limit 12000
Device(config)# lag "mylag" static id 5
Device(config-lag-mylag)# ports ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/4
Device(config-lag-mylag)# primary-port 1/1/1
Device(config-lag-mylag)# deploy
LAG mylag deployed successfully!
Decoupling of inline power and datalink operations on regular PoE ports example
The following example shows how to decouple the behavior of the PoE and the datalink operations for
regular PoE ports. After the optional decouple-datalink keyword in the inline power command is
entered, the datalink operational behavior on a PoE port does not affect the power state of the powered
device (PD) that is connecting to the port.
Device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# inline power decouple-datalink power-by-class 3
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# interface ethernet 1/1/2
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/2)# inline power decouple-datalink
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/2)# interface ethernet
1/1/3
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/3)# inline power decouple-datalink priority 2
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/3)# interface ethernet 1/1/4
Device(config-if-e1000-1/1/4)# inline power decouple-datalink power-limit 12000
