Not sure what you are asking; the first line in the requirements mentions: When powered by DC, 802.3bt (class 5) POE or 2x 802.3at (class 4) POE, the AP will operate without restrictions. (made the 'or' conditions less visible); so a single PoE+/bt port should be enough for full functionality. BTW, enabling IPM on the AP would not hurt and will reduce the amount op power that needs to be allocated (enable LLDP for that as well) on the switch so you can support even more APs on the same switch.

Is there a way to enable a single ethernet port to run 802.3bt for the 535 AP to operate? Currently I have to run two ethernet ports from the 6100 to get it to run normally.
See the power requirements below for the 535.
- When powered by DC, 802.3bt (class 5) POE or 2x 802.3at (class 4) POE, the AP will operate without restrictions.
- When powered by 1x 802.3at (class 4) POE and with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the USB port and disable the other Ethernet port. In the same configuration but with IPM enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode, but may dynamically apply restrictions depending on the POE budget and actual power. The feature restrictions and order can be programmed.
