Hi jolek

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

You are all fine, PoE switches are very safe and just don't deliver power when there is no need at the connected device(s). In your case, no PoE power will be delivered on the port where another PoE switch is connected to. Detection is happening port by port, automatically.

 

I hope this helps
