Q.
What is Cisco Enhanced PoE (ePoE)?
A.
Cisco Enhanced PoE supports up to 20 watts per port.
Q.
Is Cisco ePoE 802.3at-compliant?
A.
No, ePoE is not part of the standard yet.
Q.
Can the Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules provide high-power IEEE 802.3af-compliant
power to all ports?
A.
The IEEE 802.3af PoE supports up to 15.4 watts per port and Cisco ePoE supports up to 20 watts per port. The
amount of power available to the enhanced Ethernet ports is limited by the power-supply capabilities of the
hosting platform. Table 6 shows the maximum power available per platform for PoE applications.

Q.
Can I deploy both PoE and non-PoE Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch modules together in the same
chassis?
A.
Yes, and you can deploy them in any slot.
Q.
Can I upgrade the non-PoE models to support PoE?
A.
No, the Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules do not support a field upgrade to add PoE. You must
order the modules in the correct configuration.
Q.
What are the features of the Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules?
A.
The Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules share common software and features with the Cisco Catalyst
3560-E (ES3) and Catalyst 2960 (ES2) desktop switches.
