[asterisk-users] PoE L3 Switches

[Eric Wieling]

Unless it runs IOS, I don't think most of us would consider that box a "Cisco"   Likely it is a Cisco branded switch with Linksys hardware, i.e. consumer grade stuff.

We use multiple Cisco SG100D-08P eight-port POE unmanaged switches with each located close to the end users, often on their desks.  These devices are relatively cheap, seem to work well, and provide four POE ports plus four standard Ethernet ports.  We find that this arrangement works for two or three employee work centres on each switch.

So, it is a Cisco solution which you deprecate. However, it does work and it is both inexpensive and flexible.  If distributing power from a central location over Ethernet is an absolute requirement then these probably are not what you want.
