Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If the power of the system is sufficient, you can run the poe force-power command on the interface connected to PDs when the PSE cannot detect the PDs.

Precautions

After the power supply mode of an interface is set to PoE++ using the poe bt-inrush enable command, the poe force-power command does not take effect on this interface.

The poe force-power command and the poe legacy enable command are mutually exclusive. When configured on the same interface, the later configured command takes effect and the earlier configured command is cleared.

If the interface connects to a non-PD device, configuring forcible powering on the interface may damage the non-PD device. Exercise caution when using the poe force-power command. After forcible powering is configured on a PoE switch, you must delete the forcible powering configuration from the switch if you need to remove the switch from the current networking environment and deploy it in a new networking environment.

Example

# Enable forcible powering on GigabitEthernet0/0/1.

<HUAWEI> system-view

[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] poe force-power
Warning: Is there a valid PD connected to this interface? Yes or No?[Y/N]:y
