Hi,
For a project I'm working on we have a need for a switch with PoE+ that will
power the ports quickly, say less than 15 seconds after power up. The switch
that is currently specified is a Cisco cbs250-16P-2g. This switch takes at
least a minute, if not more, to enable power to the ports. With a bit of
searching I discovered that some Cisco switches have a pair of features
called Perpetual PoE and Fast Boot PoE. We don't have a need for Perpetual
PoE, but Fast Boot PoE seems to fit our needs. Some other vendors have a
similar sounding feature. So far I have only seen this offered on higher end
switches(Cisco, Juniper, etc.). Does anyone know of any switches that are
more in the SOHO class that have this type of feature?
I had pretty good luck with Netgear ProSafe PoE; the model I used was
GS724TP. It's managed and definitely SOHO. I have no distinct
memory of time-to-power, but I don't recall long waits.
I cannot find any specs in a quick Google search, but that line might
be worth investigating.
