Add a description for a PoE or PoE+ port
You can add a description (typically the device type) for a PoE port, which the switch will
display in certain Show commands. Knowing the type of PD is useful when inspecting PD
Class power usage. The description entered will appear in the following commands under
Device, or Powered Device Type, for each PoE or PoE+ port:
show power-inline interface command on page 23.20 and,
show power-inline interface detail command on page 23.22 .
In the following example a description is added for the PoE port listed as port1.0.2 to
display the words “Desk Phone” in the show output of the commands mentioned above.
