question about the PoE of Switch

[khang2711]

Dear anyone,

I use the Switch 2960S support PoE and 10 access points cisco.

I have one more question:

-- If all 10 access points cisco use copper cable to connect to 2960S, 5 access points use power adapter and 5 access points use power from Switch. How Switch 2960S will provide power for 10 AP or switch 2960S will understand and only provide power for 5 APs?

Please answer me early.

Hi,

The switch will provide power for 5 access points only as the access points which are conencted through Power adaptor will not send request for power to the switch.

Thanks

Dear Mahmoodmkl,

Means switch don't provide power for 5 AP that is used power adaptor.

Switch can understand? Because when I deploy, I must disable each ports that don't provide PoE for 5 AP. I see switch provide PoE automatically.

Hi

The switch will understand when POE cable device is connected to its ports.

Check the power provided to the ports on the switch where access points with power adaptor are connected.

Yes the switch will provide the poe automatically once it discovers that the device connected to its ports requires power.

Thanks
