3.11 Line-Swap-Fast-Recovery
The Line-Swap Fast Recovery function, which is enabled by default, allows the Weidmüller switch to
return to normal operation extremely quickly after devices are unplugged and then re-plugged into
different ports. The recovery time is on the order of a few milliseconds (compare this with standard
commercial switches for which the recovery time could be on the order of several minutes). To
disable the Line-Swap Fast Recovery function, or to re-enable the function after it has already been
disabled, access either the Console utility’s Line-Swap recovery page, or the Web Browser
interface’s Line-Swap fast recovery page, as shown below.

switch to assign specific IP addresses automatically to connected
devices that are equipped with DHCP Client or RARP protocol. In
effect, the Weidmüller switch acts as a DHCP server by assigning
a connected device with a specific IP address stored in its internal
memory. Each time the connected device is switched on or
rebooted, the Weidmüller switch sends the device the desired IP
