6. What is PoE?
6
PoE is “Power over Ethernet”. PoE
allows devices that require power (PD)
and supply power (PSE) to be
supported over existing switching
infrastructure using Cat5, 5e or 6
cabling.

Voice over IP phones: (VOIP) allow the
delivery of phone signals over a data network
rather than the traditional telephone lines. PoE
addresses one of the primary concerns of
VoIP: reliability and flexibility. PoE enabled IP
phones receive uninterrupted power through
the network, without the need for an AC outlet
for each phone.
Note:
Business conferencing / Colour Display
VoIP Phones / Video Collaboration
based IP Phones, typically require PoE+
(802.3at)

IP Security Cameras and Devices: Security
cameras are traditionally located near
electrical outlets limiting their effectiveness.
Utilising the switching network to mount
cameras and access control devices on
ceilings, hallways, outdoor or reception areas
is significantly less expensive.
Note:
PTZ cameras require 802.3at (PoE+)
Network cameras offer the following
advantages over Analog (or CCTV)
Simple: single cable for power and
video recording. Plus, no more tapes
Standards: use IP and Ethernet to send
traffic. Portable!

Wireless LAN: Placement of Access Points is
key to delivering an effective wireless network.
PoE supported APs can be placed in strategic
locations – such as ceilings – out of reach of
electrical AC outlets. Deployments can save
on installation costs when PoE capable
switches are leveraged.
Note:
Wireless (Dual Band IEEE802.11n) APs
with bandwidth up to 900Mbps require
PoE+ (802.3at) that supports up to 25W
per port

10. When stacking makes sense

11. Ring Topology Chain Topology
What is Stacking?
+ Nominally a feature on Fully Managed
Switches
+ A stacked system supports MANY units
per stack
+ Whole stack acts like a single unit
+ 1 configuration / Multiple power supplies
+ Stack continues to operate even if one
part breaks
+ One unit
+ A cable link

12. Stacking benefits
Highly Scalable:
• Switches can be
‘stacked’ with high-
speed shared
bandwidth
• Dedicated ports for
stacking connectivity;
don’t waste valuable
user ports
• Support distance /
remote stacking needs
across multi-sites
Intelligent and Easy
Management:
• Single IP Address
management for entire
stack
• Stack-master
maintains
configuration for all
members
• Stack-master
automatically
synchronizes software
for all members
Highly Redundant:
• In Ring configuration,
stack stays alive in
case of failure of any
switch
• Failover mechanism in
case master fails
• Hot swappable
solution
