An arrangement in a network device for facilitating at least one of multiple connection speeds with a network, active response between a monitoring device and an end-device, and power over Ethernet (POE) over a network is provided. As a facilitator of multiple connection speeds, the arrangement includes a plurality of physical layer interface (PHY) and media access controller (MAC) that are configured to support multiple speeds. As a facilitator of active response, the arrangement includes a logic arrangement for multicasting a set of instructions that is sent from a monitoring port. As a facilitator of POE, the arrangement is configured to receive data traffic (e.g., data packets and/or power packets) through a first network port and to send the data traffic out a second network port.
