Option 1—Switches with sufficient inline power:
–
An inline power capable switch, such as the Cisco Catalyst 3550 PWR XL, 3560-48PS,
3750-48PS, 4500 with 802.3AF PoE module, or the 6500 with 802.3AF PoE module
–
Other inline power switches supporting the IEEE 802.3af inline power standard
Option 2—Switches without sufficient inline power can use the power injector:
–
Cisco Aironet Power Injector (AIR-PWRINJ-1000AF=)
Option 3—Local power using the power module (AIR-PWR-1000=)
