In some network environments, it is desirable to move an Ethernet from one switch port to
another and have the device come on-line quickly. The Port Quick Disconnect feature if enabled,
provides an immediate age-out of the MAC addresses learned on the port when the port status
changes from a link-up to a link-down state
The Perle Web Device Manager is an embedded Web based application that provides an easy to
use browser interface for managing the switch. Unlike competitive products, Java applet
technology is not required or used
A familiar text-based Command Line Interface that is based on accepted industry standard
syntax and structure. Ideal for CCNA and CCNP trained engineers, this interface is available via
in-band Telnet or the out-band serial console port
Manage the switch with an snmp compatible management station that is running platforms such
as HP Openview or Perle’s PerleVIEW NMS. SNMP V1 and V2C
PerleVIEW is Perle’s SNMP-based network management system that provides a view of the
network with a large scale of Perle networking devices.
Manage with an IPv4 or IPV6 address
Automates configuration of switch information such as IP address, default gateway, hostname
and Domain Name System ( DNS ) as well as TFTP server names. Firmware and configuration
file locations are provided through options 54, 66, 67, 125 and 150
DHCP Relay is used for forwarding requests from DHCP clients when they are not on the same
physical subnet. As a DHCP relay agent the switch operates as a Layer 3 device that forwards
DHCP packets between clients and servers.
Normally used in metro or large enterprise deployments DHCP Option 82 insertion is used to
provide additional information on “physical attachment” of the client. As per RFC 3046, option 82
enables additional pre-defined information to be inserted into the DHCP request packet ( for
DHCP Servers that support this option )
