I just purchased an SG300-10 (negular, non-POE) and planning on using it with no special configuratinos initially. Longer term, will be using VLAN and QOS to help VOIP.
What I would like to know is if ports 9 & 10 can be used as standard copper cat5e ports, or are they only useful for special purposes? When I hookup my router/firewall to port 1 it all appears to work. If I hook it up to 9 or 10, the port lights do not come on and it doesn't work. I read that ports 9 & 10 don't have POE on the POE switch, but I assumed that all 10 ports would function with cat5e?
