1. Reduce the demand of real IP (public IP).
Since there are up to 32 devices which have a IP agent as “Single IP” switch, meaning that
the switch becomes a network agent and handles all functions of these devices, MIS can
reduce the number of hosts that are directly connected to internet, and make use of real IPs
more efficiently.
2. Integrate network devices without modifying hardware or software.
“Single IP” is a technique mainly based on application layer in OSI standard. The
connection between master and slave hosts is linked by Ethernet protocol and has little
to do with the hardware. Modifications of hardware or software of the slave hosts is not
necessary. Thanks to its characteristics, the single IP switch gives the best compatibility
with other network devices, router, gateway, web server and even another brand switch.
3. Handy User interface without learning complex setting or changing user’s habit
of operation.
A floating menu gives a comprehensive user interface for the administrator to pick and
manage devices. It provides host IP and host name, saving the administrator the need to
remember which IPs those slave hosts are assigned to. Since there is only one browser
windows displaying on the screen at any point in time, the agent manager plays a similar
role to a TV channel controller. The administrators can easily switch to a device and enter
the setting webpage as needed.
4. Totally remote control of network devices in private IP domain.
It is not necessary for MIS to put all devices together in one place. Single IP function will
operate normally no matter how far the distance is between the master and the slave hosts if
their packets can reach each other in local area network. Moreover, a remote administrator
can access the far-side servers in the private domain through the intermediary of single IP
switch which is directly connected to internet.
5. No up-link limitation through Gigabit port.
Unlike stacking mode, up-link in agent mode can be achieved through any port rather than
Gigabit port only. This provides greater flexibility and allows Gigabit ports to be saved for
other applications.
