IPv6 Commands

 

 

Set Custom-IPv6

 

Description

Configures custom IPv6 network and IP addresses.

User Level

Admin

Syntax

set custom-ipv6 [eth1eth2] <config_ipv6_address> method auto

 

network-prefix <network_prefix>

 

[prefix-bits <0-64>] [router-advertisement onoff]

 

set custom-ipv6 [eth1eth2] <config_ipv6_address> method manual

 

ipv6-address <ipv6_address> [prefix-bits <0-128>]

 

[router-advertisement onoff]

Options

eth1eth2

 

Configures the custom IPv6 settings for the IOLAN’s Ethernet interface 1 or Ethernet

 

interface 2 (SCS models only) interface.

 

method auto

 

When this option is specified, the IOLAN will derive an IPv6 address from the entered

 

network prefix and the IOLAN’s MAC address. This is the default option.

 

network-prefix

 

Specify the IPv6 network prefix. The IOLAN will derive the complete IPv6 address

 

from the entered network prefix and the IOLAN’s MAC address.

 

prefix-bits (auto)

 

Specify the network prefix bits for the IPv6 address.

 

Range: 0-64

 

Default: 64

 

method manual

 

Specify this option when you want to enter a specific IPv6 address.

 

ipv6-address

 

Specify the complete IPv6 address.

 

Field Format: IPv6 address

 

prefix-bits (manual)

 

Specify the network prefix bits for the IPv6 address.

 

Range: 0-128

 

Default: 64

 

router-advertisement

 

When enabled, the IPv6 address is advertised when the IPv6-router-advertisement

 

parameter is enabled.

Delete Custom-IPv6

Description

SDS, MDC specifications

Perle Systems is a leading provider of connectivity solutions, renowned for its robustness and reliability in networking hardware. Among its expansive product offerings, the MDC (Multiport Device Converter) and SDS (Serial Device Server) stand out as pivotal solutions for industries requiring seamless data communication and device management.

The Perle MDC serves as a powerful multi-port device converter, providing the ability to connect multiple serial devices to a computer network without needing a separate connection for each device. This is particularly useful in environments with limited computing resources or high device density, such as railways, manufacturing plants, or remote field operations. It is designed to convert serial communication, which is commonly used in legacy devices, into Ethernet/IP or TCP/IP protocols, ensuring that older devices can integrate into modern networks.

Main features of the MDC include its robust design for industrial environments, support for a variety of serial protocols, and multiple device connections. It supports data rates of up to 115200 bps and provides easy monitoring and configuration via a web-based interface. Additionally, the MDC incorporates advanced security features including SSL and SSH encryption, ensuring data integrity and protection against unauthorized access.

On the other hand, the Perle SDS model exemplifies advanced serial device hosting capabilities, allowing users to connect Ethernet networks to serial devices. It acts as a bridge, enabling remote devices to be configured and managed over IP networks. The SDS series is known for its versatility, supporting a range of serial communication protocols, including RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485, making it suitable for various applications such as point-of-sale systems, industrial automation, and remote monitoring.

The SDS boasts several characteristics that enhance its functionality, such as automatic device discovery, real-time monitoring, and local or cloud-based management options. Its feature set also includes traffic management capabilities, allowing the optimization of device communication by controlling the flow of data, which is critical for applications requiring high reliability and low latency.

Both the MDC and SDS benefit from a strong emphasis on ease of deployment and management. They support a range of network topologies, facilitating seamless integration into existing infrastructures. Furthermore, these devices are backed by Perle Systems' reputation for customer support and a commitment to ongoing innovation, ensuring that organizations can rely on these solutions for future growth and technological advancement.
