in CCNA & CCENT
I'm working on my CCNA, and I know I'll need a few switches. I'm trying to pick up switches that I'll be able to use for future studies, and I'm looking at the 3550.
The problem is I don't know the hardware that well, and I don't want to throw money away on things that aren't what I think they are.
"Cisco 3550-24PWR Switch with Power Over Ethernet Option (PoE) and latest EMI IP Services Layer 3 IOS."
Could anyone tell me if the switch in the link below is matches that description, and if it's not could anyone tell me why / how to spot the right one?
Cisco WS-C3550-48-SMI Switch 3550 with EMI 50 Qty Avail - eBay (item 390059618671 end time Jul-16-09 07:24:16 PDT)
Thanks in advance!

It is not a POE enabled switch. If it were the description would include PWR as in Catalyst 3550-24 PWR Switch-24. Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Intelligent Ethernet Switches -
