The WS-X6148-45AF-UG is a trade-in license upgrade that enables 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality on the WS-X6148-RJ-45 module in a Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switch.
This upgrade specifically supports the WS-X6148-RJ-45 line card installed in Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches.
Enabling 802.3af PoE provides up to 15.4W per port, simplifies device deployment by eliminating separate power supplies, and centralizes power management for IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras.
You qualify by returning your existing WS-X6148-RJ-45 module to Cisco or an authorized partner under the Cisco trade-in program; the license is valid only upon receipt of the old module.
Place a trade-in order through Cisco or a certified reseller, submit your old WS-X6148-RJ-45 module for return, and receive the 802.3af upgrade license upon validation.
Yes. Your Catalyst 6500 switch must be running Cisco IOS Software that supports PoE features, typically release 12.2(33)SXH or later.
After you receive the license file, upload it to your switch via TFTP or SCP and apply it through the CLI using the ‘license install’ command followed by a reboot.
Use the CLI command ‘show power inline’ to confirm that ports are negotiating 802.3af, and check the license status with ‘show license detail’.
No. Once the 802.3af license is installed and activated, the module permanently supports PoE; you cannot revert to a non-PoE state without replacing the hardware.
Activation is immediate after the license file is installed and the switch is rebooted; validation occurs during the next module initialization.
The upgrade is covered by the original Cisco Catalyst 6500 warranty terms; contact Cisco support for specific warranty durations and service entitlements.
Yes. Standard Cisco TAC support is available for configuration and troubleshooting of the PoE upgrade under your existing service contract.
No. The license only enables PoE functionality; forwarding performance and throughput of the Catalyst 6500 remain unchanged.
The module provides up to 370W of total PoE power, allocating up to 15.4W per port across 24 ports as defined by the 802.3af standard.
Yes. The WS-X6148-RJ-45 module intelligently negotiates PoE on a per-port basis, allowing both PoE and non-PoE devices to coexist.
Pricing is based on Cisco’s trade-in credit for your returned module and the list price of the WS-X6148-45AF-UG license; contact a Cisco reseller for a customized quote.
