Hello!

Are any of the 24 port models upgradable to to a 48 port? Via upgrade
cards? Are these available through resellers or only through Cisco?

Does Cisco Sell a single port POE unit for their Aironet 1240AG ? I
know the switch can be POE but it seems like overkill for a classroom
setup to have all ports POE unless I am missing something? Perhaps
future for voip or something?

Thank you

KieranMullen

To my knowledge, none of Cisco's 1u boxes are 'upgradeable'. The only
boxes that can take module upgrades or replacements are the chassis-
based products like the 4500, 6500, etc. As for POE, its not used
unless a device is actually pulling current, so there is no additional
cost, except for the cost of the device itself. POE is generally used
for VOIP or other powered devices, we had many POE devices in a retail
organization I used to work for.

A 24-port upgrade to a 3750-24 would be another of them, and you can
cable them together. If you have the 3750-E, you have portwise
stacking cabling you can do. If not the E model, then just ether-channel
some of the ports together.

Or you buy the 48-port version and redeploy or sell off the 24-port version.

These are fairly "low-end" switches and aren't modular like some of
the bigger ones are.

Cisco has a zillion resellers, you can buy from any number of them.
Cisco sales itself probably prefers to go only after accounts that buy
alot (ie. probably > $100k). You can pretty much get any cisco kit
from any reseller.

Yes, its called a power injector AIR-PWRINJ3=. It goes inline between
your existing switch, and the unit to be powered over ethernet.

Other manufactorers (ie. d-sine) make standard 802.11af (and some even
pre-standard cisco) midspan power injectors in 1 to 16 ports or so
if you just a few PoE and don't want to spend the bucks on a PoE switch.

That's not entirely correct. Both 3750 and 3750-E can be stacked via
StackWise ports. Here is whitepaper from Cisco -

I'm pretty sure that most (if not all) Cisco access point include a power
injector because they are included with the 1310AG and 1240AG's I have
ordered.
