Auto PD Re c o ve ry
41.1 Auto PD Re c o ve ry O ve rvie w
Things can go wrong with any network devices. A PD (for example, IP camera) may slow down or freeze
and need to be restarted if it is overworked or a bug causes a memory leak. When a connected PD
ceases to respond, Automatic PD Recovery allows the Switch to restart the PD by turning it off and on
without the need for on-site troubleshooting.
41.1.1 Wha t You C a n Do
Use the Auto PD Re c o ve ry screen (
Section 41.2 on page 358) to enable and configure automatic PD
recovery on the Switch.
41.2 Auto PD Re c o ve ry
This screen lets you turn on automatic PD recovery on the Switch and its Ethernet ports. You can
configure whether the Switch uses LLDP or ping to check the current status of a connected PD.
The ping is sent through the Switch's default management IP address to the designated port. To ping the
PD, the port must share the same VLAN as the Switch's management VLAN.
