Chapter 7 Controlling Lightweight Access Points

Configuring Power over Ethernet

Table 7-3

shows the maximum transmit power settings for 1250 series access points using PoE.

Note

When powered with a non-Cisco standard PoE switch, the 1250 series access point operates under 15.4
Watts. Even if the non-Cisco switch or midspan device is capable of providing higher power, the access
point does not operate in enhanced PoE mode.

You can configure PoE through either the controller GUI or CLI.
