Comprehensive vs PRO Feature Sets
Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches
All Perle Managed Switches come with a Comprehensive Feature Set. In most application scenarios this set of features is sufficient. It includes management VLAN, QoS, RMON, N:1 port mirroring and local alert log.
However, to meet the needs of enterprise-grade level environments where additional extensive security and network integration functionality is required, choose a Perle IDS Switch with the PRO feature set. PRO features include TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) security services, SSH, SNMPv3 and HTTPS secure management sessions, IP address and IP Port number Management Access Lists, PROFINET and Modbus TCP protocol support, Ring Protocol MRP (IEC 62439-2), IEEE 1588 PTP, and much, much more...
