PoE on C9800-L is not working.

[Atul Choudhary]

Hi All,

I am creating a test bed using IOS-XE Wireless controller C9800-L and C9120. I want to provide PoE to C9120 using port TwoGigabitEthernet0/0/0 of C9800-L but unable to find any documentation to enable PoE on C9800-L. I remember commands like "power inline static" which used to work on IOS and IOS-XE switches. Can you please help me how to enable PoE on C9800-L or if it possible or not?

Connections:

[C9800-L] (TwoGig0/0/0) ======= C9120

 - Connecting the C9120 directly to the C9800-L is not supported use a switch and or a switched network in between, on the switch activate LLDP ,

Just to add to what Marce said - the 9800 WLC does not supply PoE at all.

The AP must get power from a power injector or a PoE switch and the switch must have CDP or LLDP enabled (not both) if it's a Cisco switch and if it's a non-Cisco switch then LLDP enabled as Marce mentioned.
