Manage the built-in switch About the built-in switch The AXIS Camera Station S22 Appliance Series comes with an integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch. You can configure and manage the built-in switch. The purpose of the switch is to segregate traffic on the network so that security cameras and related traffic managed by the switch (PoE ports and U1 network uplinks) are not shared with other networks.
