Static routing is a form of routing that occurs when these switches use a manually configured 512 IPV4 static routing entries. Static routing has three primary uses: It provides GUI based PoE/PoE+/PoE++ scheduling Premium feature. PoE/PoE+ /PoE++ Scheduling is a feature which allows you to specify the amount of time that power is delivered to a PoE/PoE+/PoE++ port automatically. This can be used to save power when devices are not in use, or as a security feature to prevent wireless access from being available outside of business hours. It is possible to set a schedule PoE/PoE+/PoE++ at a start time, an end time and which ports the PoE/PoE+/PoE++ schedule applies to. The PoE/PoE+/PoE++ device turn ON and OFF as per the PoE/PoE+/PoE++ schedule time.

Table 5. COMMANDO Soldier C2000 Series Switches LED Indication

Power Budget According to Cable Length

Ideally, shorter cables would use less power because of less power degradation over their length This is not the case with most devices as they will use the same amount of power across the cable regardless of whether it is 10 or 100 meters in length. These switches analyze the length of the Ethernet cable connected and adjusts the power usage accordingly, rather than keeping the power consumption in a conventional solution.

ACL table and L4/L3/L2 format (e.g., DMAC, SMAC, and Ether-Type), IPv6 Parsing and Per-flow traffic policing with 16-entry VID range checking. It also supports 8-entry IPv4 or 2-entry IPv6 range checking. 256 to 512 leaky buckets for flow traffic policing. It supports QoS Functions with 8 physical queues per port, Strict Priority (SP) and Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ), Weighted Round Robin (WRR) packet scheduling, QoS remarking for 802.1p and DSCP (includes IPv4/IPv6) also Supports average packet rate control leaky bucket per queue, in 16Kbps steps up to 1Gbps maximum. Ingress port bandwidth control, in 16Kbps steps up to 1Gbps maximum. Egress port bandwidth control, in 16Kbps steps up to 1Gbps maximum. It supports MIB Functions with 256 to 2K 32-bit packet-based or 1K 64-bit byte-based log counters to enhance MIB counter log counters to enhance MIB count functionality. It also supports Ethernet-like MIB (RFC 3635), Interface Group MIB (RFC 2863), RMON (RFC 2819), Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), Bridge MIB Extension (RFC 2674). It has Hardware Watchdog support which guard against certain types of system hangs. Watchdog timer is used to escape from if something goes wrong. Based on the situation, the Switches can automatically reset itself, or recover from the failure and generate an error message in the console logs. Long life electrolytic capacitance. High Quality PCB Circuit Board and PCB Surface Treatment Using Gold Sinking Process. Rack mount design, Mounts in an EIA-standard 19-inch telco rack or equipment cabinet (Rack-mounting kit available); horizontal surface mounting; wall mounting with durable robust metal body. Bilateral heat dissipation. Power and ports status/ activity indicator LED lights. RJ45 Gold plated with 3U thickness. It also supports has IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) for 100Base-TX in full duplex operation and supports 10Base-Te for 10Base-T in full/half duplex. The Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) operational mode combines the IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) Sub-layer with a family of Physical Layers defined to support operation in Low Power Idle (LPI) Mode. When Low Power Idle Mode is enabled, systems on both sides of the link can disable portions of the functionality and save power during periods of low link utilization. 10Mbps PHY with reduced transmit amplitude requirements in EEE operational mode. This new PHY is fully interoperable with legacy 10Base-T PHYs over 100m of Class-D (Category 5) or better cabling.

Now is the Time to Upgrade to 90W Ultra PoE++

Ultra PoE++ offers a robust, end-to-end high power PoE solution with up-front cost savings. Fortunately, transitioning to the new standard won’t necessarily be a costly affair for users and installers or network seeking to deliver more power to, standard CAT 5 and 6 Ethernet cables are IEEE compatible So, you can add and move devices by moving these cables. Wiring and equipment costs remain down as there’s usually no need to move AC sources physically. Safety measures ensure up to 90W of power is safely delivered. Ultra PoE++, satisfies this hunger by extending the PoE and PoE+ specifications to 90W of PD delivered power. Ultra PoE++ capabilities of this standard expand the field of Ethernet-powered applications by several orders of magnitude, enabling entirely new classes of PDs, such as power-hungry picocells, base stations or heaters for pan-tilt-zoom cameras and these critical devices stay up during load shed. New IEEE 802.3bt Standard Boosts the Technology for IoT Applications. The first and the most important improvement in the 802.3bt standard is the capability to transfer much more power to edge devices (powered devices or PDs) 71.3 W, while sending 90 W from the power sourcing equipment (PSE) side enable in numerous new IoT and especially IIoT (Industrial IoT) power hungry and high-speed devices to be powered by PoE technology.
