M4300-96X Max POE 15W ports
I have just seen this small snippet in the spec sheet for the M4300-96X switch. *Only first 6 slots are delivering PoE power to APM408P cards for 48 PoE+ ports per switch. Since POE is a cop...
Thanks for the confirmation.
So I have 5 floors with need for 80ports of POE+ 1Gbps per floor.
Looks like I am going to have to have 2 stacks to achieve this....
Cant see another way given the 8 devices limit in a stack.
Apart from the additional overhead of management of 2 stacks, thereis not
neccessarily a big downside to this I guess, so long as transit is fat enough... 4* 10G etc...
Sigh, yes, two M4300-96X enclosures, but both can be configured into a single stack of course. LaurentMa can you confirm this svp.?
Sure thing, the M4300-96X can be stacked as any other M4300 switch (max. 8 switches in one stack). Stacking is possible when converting the 10G ports and/or the 40G ports into Stack ports. Up to 16 ports per switch can be used as Stack ports, but only 10G ports and 40G ports.
Two M4300-96X switches can be paired in a stack, yes. Important consideration is the stacking interconnect (how much bandwidth will need to traverse the stack). To get 80 ports delivering PoE+, a stack of two M4300-96X is elegant solution.
Feel free to use the M4300-96X configurator to design each M4300-96X switch:
