Advertises general information about Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities and the status of the port.

lldp advertise power-via-mdi ports { all | [ ethernet unit/slot/port [ to unit/slot/port ] ... ] }
no lldp advertise power-via-mdi ports { all | [ ethernet unit/slot/port [ to unit/slot/port ] ... ] }

Information about PoE capabilities and port status is not advertised.

ports
Advertises Power via Media Dependent Interface (power-via-MDI) information for the specified ports.
all
Advertises power-via-MDI information for all LLDP-capable ports.
ethernet unit/slot/port
Advertises power-via-MDI information for a specific Ethernet port.
to unit/slot/port
Advertises power-via-MDI information for a range of Ethernet ports.

Global configuration mode

The power-via-MDI information includes the following:

  • PoE capability (supported or not supported)
  • PoE status (enabled or disabled)
  • Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) power pair—Indicates which pair of wires is in use and whether the pair selection can be controlled. The RUCKUS implementation always uses pair A and cannot be controlled.
  • Power class—Indicates the range of power that the connected powered device has negotiated or requested.

You can specify a list of ports, separated by a space, or a range of ports, or you can combine lists and ranges.

The command cannot support LAG virtual interfaces. Attempting to configure them will have no effect.

The no form of the command disables the advertisement.

The following example advertises the power-via-MDI information on a range of ports.

device(config)# lldp advertise power-via-mdi ports ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/10
