Usage Guidelines

When enabled, this LLDP MED TLV advertises fine-grained power requirement details about PoE settings and support. This TLV can be enabled only on a PoE-capable port; the switch returns an error message if this TLV is configured for a non-PoE-capable port.

You must configure the LLDP MED capabilities TLV before configuring this TLV. Configure the LLDP MED capabilities TLV using the configure lldp ports [all | port_list] [advertise | no-advertise] vendor-specific med capabilities command.

As with all the LLDP MED TLVs, the switch sends this TLV only after it detects a MED-capable device on the port. The switch does not automatically send this TLV after it is enabled; the switch must first detect a MED-capable device on the port.

Note

Note
