configure lldp ports vendor-specific dot3 power-via-mdi

configure lldp ports [all | port_list] [advertise | no-advertise] vendor-specific dot3 power-via-mdi {with-classification}

Description

Configures the LLDP port to advertise or not advertise Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities to its neighbors.

Syntax Description


all	Specifies all ports on the switch.
`port_list`	Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports.
advertise	Specifies to send the information to neighbors.
no-advertise	Specifies not to send the information to neighbors.
with-classification	Specifies to use LLDP for Data Link Layer Classification. This option is available only on PoE+ ports.

Default

No advertise.

Usage Guidelines

When configured, the system includes this TLV. We recommend enabling this TLV only on PoE-capable ports.

The following information is transmitted for LLDP ports with this TLV:

Support PoE or not
Port class
- Power sourcing equipment (PSE)
- Powered device (PD)
Power pairs used to supply power
- Signal
- Spare
Power status
Support pairs control or not
Power class
- Class0
- Class1
- Class2
- Class2
- Class3
- Class4

Data link layer classification allows fine-grained dynamic re-allocation of power based on changing needs. This feature is enabled by enabling LLDP (transmit and receive) and configuring transmission of the power-via-MDI TLV. The ExtremeXOS software sends an LLDPDU containing a power-via-MDI TLV within 10 seconds of DLL classification being enabled. A PD may request a new power value using an LLDPDU. The allocated power might be changed if a request is received and approved after a power review. The software responds with an allocated power value within 10 seconds of receipt of an LLDPDU with a different requested power from a PD. Power allocation can be controlled to a granularity of 0.1 watts. When DLL classification is enabled, it takes precedence over physical classification.

Note

For more information on advertising power support, see the configure lldp ports vendor-specific med power-via-mdi command.

Example

The following command configures all ports to advertise power capabilities to neighbors:

configure lldp ports all advertise vendor-specific dot3 power-via-mdi
