Power inline port 2x-mode command for 9200L? PoE problem

[WM99]

Currently using this command power inline port 2x-mode on a 2960x switches to fix the PoE problem for some of PoE devices that suddenly draws more power when activated at random intervals. However just replaced a 2960x switch with a 9200L switch and the command seems to have went through but doesn't fix the PoE problem anymore. Was looking to see if anyone had a solution to a similar problem on a 9200L?

you can try config  :

power inline port priority high

power inline static max 15400

Hi  @balaji.bandi  sadly tried even  power inline static max 30000 but still wouldn't work. This device draws a large amount of power when it gets activated but within 15.4w. On the 2960x I had the same problem but found some users using the command  power inline port 2x-mode and it fixed the problem. But now we have a newer switch and that command is no longer working for it.

never used that option, you can try below options ? what is this device what kind of power required ?

(config-if)#power inline ?
auto Automatically detect and power inline devices
four-pair Four-pair PoE power
never Never apply inline power
police Police the power drawn on the port
port Configure Port Power Level
static High priority inline power interface

(config-if)#power efficient-ethernet ?
auto Enable automatic efficient ethernet on this interface

Also worth looking below information :

Hello,

which PoE devices are connected to these ports ? Try a longer or higher category Ethernet cable, in combination with that command (Power inline port 2x-mode), and check if that makes a difference...
