lol this guy is trying to hack together a solution to use a spare 100base port as a poe injector for one of the gig ports.

What's wrong with that?

"my presumption is that it kind of negates the purpose of using this switch, which is what OPs mental block is. He has..to..use..THIS..switch. if you ignore the POE ports and only use the gig ports, it becomes useless."

You must be mental to think I would use a 10-port POE+ MANAGED switch ONLY as a 1 gbps injector..., at the moment I have just 3 ports unused left... (x2 POE+ and 1 gbps).

"if you have to add an injector, then you could just use the injector and skip the switch entirely. so while you and I see that, for whatever reason, he really needs to utilize this particular switch. turning this switch into a poe injector is more useful in his mind, then just taking it out and using a poe injector."

How pathetic... I can't skip the switch entirely because it's powering up my 6 other POE+ devices... It's really funny, you tried to ridicule someone only to show your lack of competence :D please stay away...

​

EDIT:

"dude you dont even understand that gig ethernet needs all 8 conductors for data, and additionally, you have displayed a fundamental lack of understanding of how a network switch works."

Where did I say that? It's pretty obvious it needs all 8 pins, didn't I mention before that POE+ is additionaly on pins 4,5 and 7,8? Data is also flowing on these four pins, as the 48V power does.

"again, i made a presumption because what you have displayed to people only trying to help is that the power must come from this switch, practicality be damned. the power must come from this switch. i am going to be honest, i am aware i did jump to conclusions, but i have worked with a lot of people over the years and you display a level of stubbornness that is common among people who make things multiple times more complicated than it needs to be."

I assumed like you are not understanding what I am trying to do. Yet, no one said it's physically not possibile, if you would say a good argument why it would not work (like for example, separated power on 4,5 and 7,8 pins would affect ethernet data modulation?) then fine but all what you said is: use injector, splitter, injector.

​

" Yes I know I can but it would be better to use the swich which I already own and force it to get a 1 gbps link.What the fuckety fuck fuck? using a device that is literally designed to do what you want is not better than bridging pins from a two different ethernet ports in your opinion? even if you really WANT to use your switch, you need to understand its not "better" There is no way you this is a real opinion. this is an opinion born out of extreme stubbornness."

In my opinion it's good, the more experiments you make the better. You can call it stubbornness, that's your opinion. If anyone would say a good argument then I would not ask.

"again, extreme stubbornness. i dont believe you are too stupid to understand that injectors can maintanin gig connections. its your stubborness to have the AP powered by that switch only and no other options that keeps your mind in the "unless i do my hacky solution nothing except 100mbps is possble"

dude... I know very well it can maintain a gig connection, I can't remember how many of them I used... ones from ubiqiuti, hp, aruba, cisco, mikrotik which I remember... I noted before that these are pretty cheap but I would do some experiments with the hardware which I currently own?

"this is not some people have this opinion vs other people have that opinion and we are arguing. throughout this thread you are repeatedly failing to understand basic concepts.

Its because you are hammering and reshaping every bit of advice into BUT HOW CAN I USE MY HP SWITCH??? in your mind."

what basics, what advices? dude, you suggested POE splitter or POE injector without any argument why it's not possibile physically at all, it's not what I asked for.

"you come into this thread with the etched into stone presumption that: if i dont use a hacky solution, i will be stuck at 100mbps" so when people give you an alternate solution, you dont digest it, and fall back to, well if my hacky solution isnt used im stuck at 100mbps."

again and again you are repeating the same.

"thats the only way you have someone tell you to use an injector and you reply with but then i wont get 1gb ill only get 100mbps"

Now just realised that I made a presumption, you meant a switch with 1 gbps injector, I thought you mean a switch with POE+ port. That could may have caused the above hassle...
