Commercial Access Switches

Yes, all variants support rack mounting. All these variants come with L clamps that can be used to attach switch on a standard 19-inch rack. 4 & 8-Port support wall mount also other than rack mount.

Yes, 4 & 8-Port Variants are based on fanless design. These switches have side and rear air vents that allow natural airflow and allow for passive cooling.

By default, switch comes with default Management IP 192.168.1.1, which can be used for first time login to switch via any of the access Ethernet ports.

ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning) is a method by which HFCL switches can be configured with the required configuration without any user intervention. ZTP allows the switches to be installed directly into the environment after power on. There are 2 modes available that can be used in ZTP.

·         Auto Config in Boot Phase: In this mode, the switch look for DHCP server in boot phase. Once IP is assigned, switch then starts Ftp’ing the start-up configuration file from DHCP server using BootP and applies the configuration before coming to prompt.

·         Auto Config after Boot Phase: In this mode, the DHCP client starts only after the switch has booted successfully. The DHCP client looks for the DHCP server for IP assignment and then a startup configuration file can be pushed manually from central server for auto configuration.

Dynamic and static power allocation modes on port: There are two ways to allocate the power to PDs:

·         Dynamic: Port power allocation is dynamic, based on class of powered device.

·         Static: Port power allocation is static, based on maximum power configured.

PoE Port Priority:

Power over Ethernet port priority. Ports are grouped according to 'critical’, ‘high', and 'low' priorities. Ports at 'low' priority, which are delivering power, will be turned off to free power budget for 'critical' or 'high' priority non-delivering power port that is requesting power for start-up. Ports at 'high' priority, which are delivering power, will be turned off to free power budget for 'critical' priority non-delivering power port that is requesting power for start-up. Ports which are delivering power and at the same priority as non-delivering power port will not be turned off to free power budget. The lower priority ports, which are delivering power, will not be turned off if their power is insufficient to power-on the higher priority ports.

PoE Traffic Monitor

PoE traffic monitoring functionality is to monitor the real-time network traffic by each PoE enabled port. Maximum traffic rate in Kbps that is expected on the PoE port that is powered on. When the rate is above the specified value, an alarm will be raised.

Perpetual PoE:

With perpetual PoE, The Switch can supply uninterrupted power to the connected devices even if the switch is undergoing reboot.

HFCL 24-Port Switch dual power supply variants come with fans that allow front to back airflow for cooling. However Integrated supply variants are fan-less and based on passive cooling.

There is a RST button on the front panel, which upon pressing wipes out the existing configuration and resets the switch to factory default. The reset can also be done in software using the CLI command. Please refer HSP Configuration guide for more details.

HFCL switch with Universal supply option allows it to be powered on either by an AC or DC input. However at a time only one of supply can be connected.

Yes, all access ports in PoE variants are PoE+ capable. However, PoE Budget could vary based on switch variant and requirement.

All third party SFPs, which are MSA compliant can be used with any of the HFCL switches. All types i.e. Multi-Mode, Single-Mode, Bi-Di, Copper SFPs supported.
