Cisco 3750-48PS w/ IP Cams

[Lkn4aSystem]

Hello

I recently purchased a server rack that came with a CAT6 patch panel along with a Cisco Router and a Cisco-48 PS switch. On the face it states it is a POE switch and research shows it is. Now my question is can I run this switch with 4k POE cameras? Will this switch give me adequate power to power a camera per port. I was mainly interested in only the 15U rack but the seller was kind enough to throw in the switch. I know nothing about networking, but i am not afraid to learn and waiting for the console cable to reset the switch. Any help will be appreciated. I only plan to use 7 ports out of the 48 and will possiblly use the other ports at a later time maybe create a home network setup.

Should power your stuff no issues, configuring it might be a issue if you have no background in the Cisco Ios but I would plug it in and see what happens, If they wiped it out and defaulted it you might have to do some messing around with it. Those switches were work horses in their day. If your ports are active on it should be no issue.

Thank you! Yes I was able to plug it in and all the lights did light up. I believe there was a mode switch that if pressed was almost like a test procedure. Thank you for your input. The switch looks to be from 2008 and was a little worried powering up newer IP cameras. BTW i did buy the rack to get my feet wet and have a Dell 6700 Optiflex on the way for blue iris

The Switch does not care about 4k or roughly 8 Mega Pixels cams. Its got a pretty decent power budget for your standard cam but do not expect to run higher power PTZ' cams with it.

if you've not already done this - it would be worth pressing the reset button for long enough to set it back to defaults, for the case that there is still an existing configuration from the previous use of the device.
There could be all sorts of things to puzzle over and get in your way, such as VLANs, layer 3 configs, admin passwords etc.
Best to start from a known position.

I believe there was a mode switch that if pressed was almost like a test procedure.

Without looking at the specs - that's probably just changing the mode of the port LEDs to show a different set of status indications.

I believe I posted the specs, but if you leave the unit on it runs a self diagnostics check and all Lan ports and mode lights did light up amber/green

Depends how many devices long term - I see you are only using a few to start with. My experience is cisco can only power around 75% of the ports and you will need 2 power supplies in the switch to use all ports. You need to look at poe or poe+. If I use an axis q6055 which is poe+ with cisco 3750 i still need to use a midspan in line as there is insufficient current to operate the PTZ.
I use them on oil rigs and windfarms as they are secure and robust switches but always a long process to set them up fully in the first place.
