Gigabit Aggregation Switching With PoE
You can use the switch as an aggregation switch that serves as power sourcing equipment (PSE) in a
network that gives users Gigabit access to network devices and the Internet. The switch can provide PoE
or PoE+ to devices such as WiFi access points, cameras, and VoIP phones.
In a small office or home office network, you can use the switch as a Gigabit backbone switch and connect
it directly to your Internet router or Internet modem.
The following figure shows the switch functioning as an aggregation switch with an uplink to a network router,
a firewall, and the Internet and connected to one managed switch and one unmanaged switch, a storage
device, computers and workstations, PoE+ WiFi access points, and PoE VoIP phones.
