I'm glad to know that you can use ports 1 & 2 of your M4100-D12G-POE+ (GSM5212P) switch as regular ports. Moving on to your concern this time, have you tried connecting a powered device (PD) like an access point to either ports 1 & 2 and check if the access point turns on?

I just want to follow-up on this. Were you able to try connecting a powered device (PD) like an access point to either ports 1 & 2 and check if the access point turns on? If yes, what are your observations?

DaneA You can use the ports 1&2 as regular ports for a workstation or a device that does not require or is powered by PoE. I have yet to see a setting where you can change it so that you can use ports 1&2 to power PoE Devices.I plugged in an access point as well as an IP PoE phone and they wouldnt power on. Ports 1&2 will however power the switch off a nother poe switch and can act as a reduntdant power supply. The first two ports work great with workstations and you can configure them for radius access an muchmuch more.
