ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for managing an Inline Power relationship between and among a first network device acting as power sourcing equipment (PSE) to provide Inline Power to a second Powered Device (PD) and a third device. In one aspect of the invention, the powered device(s) and the third device are powered (at least in part) by the PSE using inline power from at least one port (which may include more than one PSE) and they are powered over one or more sets of cables.
