Adding PD Descriptions to Ports

PDs connected to the ports are easier to identify if you give them
descriptions. To add descriptions to PDs, use the POWER-INLINE
DESCRIPTION command in the Port Interface mode. Here is the format:

power-inline description

description

The description parameter can consist of up to 256 alphanumeric
characters. Spaces and special characters are allowed. You can assign a
description to more than one port at a time. See “POWER-INLINE
DESCRIPTION” on page 281.

To remove the current description from the port without assigning a new
one, use the NO POWER-INLINE DESCRIPTION command. See “NO
POWER-INLINE DESCRIPTION” on page 273.

This example adds a PD description of “Desk Phone” to port 1.0.5 and
port1.0.6:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5,port1.0.6
awplus(config-if)# power-inline description Desk Phone

This example removes the description previously added to the port 6:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.6
awplus(config-if)# no power-inline description

Note

To add a general description to a port, use the DESCRIPTION
command. For more information, see “DESCRIPTION” on
page 210.
