We are happy with our PowerDsine devices. They come in various models depending on your power and speed (10/100 or 10/100/1000) requirements. They also come in port sizes of 6, 12, & 24 ports. We manage ours with the supplied HTTP app. They do support SNMP (V2c/V3).

We have a possible need for PoE midspan devices, not so much for APs, but for security cameras (which could number in the thousands before they're done) -- many of them to be located in buildings without any PoE Ethernet switches and with no life-cycle network funds on the horizon. Ideally, I'd like something that's SNMP-manageable and has ssh (ok, I'll settle for telnet) capability. 8-16 ports would be nice. Anything like that out there these days and, if so, what's the experience been with them? Thanks in advance. -- Jim Gogan Director, Networking Univ of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
