The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

When an access point that has been converted to lightweight mode (such as an AP1262) access point is powered by a power injector that is connected to a Cisco pre-Intelligent Power Management (pre-IPM) switch, you must configure Power over Ethernet (PoE), which is also known as inline power .
| Command or Action | Purpose | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Step 1 |
ap name Cisco_AP power injector installed Example: |
Enables the PoE power injector state. The access point remembers that a power injector is connected to this particular switch port. If you relocate the access point, you must reenter this command after the presence of a new power injector is verified.
|
||
| Step 2 |
ap name Cisco_AP power injector override Example: |
Removes the safety checks and allows the access point to be connected to any switch port. You can use this command if your network does not contain any older Cisco 6-W switches that could be overloaded if connected directly to a 12-W access point. The access point assumes that a power injector is always connected. If you relocate the access point, it continues to assume that a power injector is present. |
||
| Step 3 |
ap name Cisco_AP power injector switch-mac-address switch_mac_address Example: |
Sets the MAC address of the switch port that has a power injector.
|
||
| Step 4 |
show ap name Cisco_AP config general Example: |
Displays common information that includes the PoE settings for a specific access point.
|
This example shows how to display common information that includes the PoE settings for a specific access point:
Device# show ap name AP01 config general
Cisco AP Identifier............... 1
Cisco AP Name..................... AP1
...
PoE Pre-Standard Switch........... Enabled
PoE Power Injector MAC Addr....... Disabled
Power Type/Mode................... PoE/Low Power (degraded mode)
