You're meaning that the SFP version only supplies POE on its 5 ports; can't
be itself powered via POE, right?  Or, that the non-SFP version does
support being itself powered via POE, but them only passes that onto one of
its 5 ports?

At any rate, the Edge Router's hardware acceleration (i.e. for high NAT
throughput) is thus far still only available with stock firmware.
Apparently, the open source support for Cavium is largely in name only.
Getting useful info like datasheets and API docs requires an NDA.

Excellent device otherwise.
