1. Introduction
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows both power and data to be simultaneously carried over
standard Ethernet cables. PoE-enabled Ethernet switches can supply power directly to Ethernet
devices, thereby simplifying installation and removing the need for separate power supplies for
those devices.
The NETGEAR PROSAFE 8 Port (FS108P) and 16 Port (FS116P) switches provide 4/8 ports of
PoE and 4/8 ports without PoE. These unmanaged switches can be used to power Avaya
telephones successfully without configuration; however the switches do not support traffic
prioritization.
The NETGEAR PROSAFE™ 24 Port (FS726TP) switch supports 12 PoE ports, 12 additional
10/100Mbps ports without PoE, and 2 Gigabit/ small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports without
PoE. The FS726TP provides effective traffic prioritization. A recommended configuration is
provided.
The generally available (GA) versions of all products were used for testing. Interoperability
testing was at the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab in Lincroft, NJ.
