I just recently discovered that my 7961 phones will not power up from our
4006 switch because they consume twice the power as 7960s and my switchport
are only set to deliver 6.5 watts of inline power. Can the 4006 deliver 13
watts or is it 6.5 watts max a hardware restriction? If I can, are there
other commands I need to issue aside from "set inline power"? I also
included the power environment settings below.

My attempt to update the port to anything above 6.5 watts fails:

> (enable) set port inlinepower 3/12 auto 13000
Failed to set the inline power for port 3/12 to auto with maxWattage 13000

> (enable) show environment power
