John,
We are evaluating the PowerDsine 9024GM. I realize we can use SNMP for
sets but I'm curious about managing via HTTP. Is there a central
management console that lists all of the midspans on your network (think
Airwave or CiscoWorks for PowerDsine) or do you browse to each
individual midspan when you need to poke it?
We might be buying 100+ of these units and it would be handy if
Microsemi offered a centralized aggregate way to see these.
FWIW we are happy with the eval thus far. Someone else correctly posted
that the 7000 series (EOL as of January 1, 2010) is not 802.3at
compliant but the 9000 series is.
Thanks,
Mike

depending on your power and speed (10/100 or 10/100/1000)
requirements. They also come in port sizes of 6, 12,& 24 ports. We
manage ours with the supplied HTTP app. They do support SNMP
(V2c/V3).

about PoE midspan devices
I know this question has been asked before, but it wasn't anything
that was on our radar at the time and experiences may have evolved
over time.
We have a possible need for PoE midspan devices, not so much for APs,
but for security cameras (which could number in the thousands before
they're done) -- many of them to be located in buildings without any
PoE Ethernet switches and with no life-cycle network funds on the
horizon.
Ideally, I'd like something that's SNMP-manageable and has ssh (ok,
I'll settle for telnet) capability. 8-16 ports would be nice.
Anything like that out there these days and, if so, what's the
experience been with them? Thanks in advance.
