There are different implementation of 802.3af standards in different
vendor's switches..
I have tested that found out that cisco 3560 switch implements it using
DATA-PAIR i.e. pin 1,2 and 3, 6.
My questions are:
1. How does it actually works? supplying DC voltage and ethernet data
through the same wires?
2. Do they use some sort of DSL technology stuffs (phone and data on
different frequency?)
3. How does 3560 POE switch detects non-POE device? For example, plugging a
laptop on Cisco 3560 switch and it does't blow up?
Just curious to know.
