Extended Power via MDI TLV

The extended power via MDI TLV enables advanced PoE management between LLDP-MED endpoints and network connectivity devices.

Advertise the extended power via MDI on all ports that are connected to an 802.3af powered, LLDP-MED endpoint device.
  • Power Type — there are two possible power types: power source entity (PSE) or power device (PD). The Dell EMC Networking system is a PSE, which corresponds to a value of 0, based on the TIA-1057 specification.
  • Power Source — there are two possible power sources: primary and backup. The Dell EMC Networking system is a primary power source, which corresponds to a value of 1, based on the TIA-1057 specification.
  • Power Priority — there are three possible priorities: Low, High, and Critical. On Dell EMC Networking systems, the default power priority is High, which corresponds to a value of 2 based on the TIA-1057 specification. You can configure a different power priority through the CLI. Dell EMC Networking also honors the power priority value the powered device sends; however, the CLI configuration takes precedence.
  • Power Value — Dell EMC Networking advertises the maximum amount of power that can be supplied on the port. By default the power is 15.4W, which corresponds to a power value of 130, based on the TIA-1057 specification. You can advertise a different power value using the max-milliwatts option with the power inline auto | static command. Dell EMC Networking also honors the power value (power requirement) the powered device sends when the port is configured for power inline auto.
