Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide 5 Managing the DES-5024 This chapter shows the menus used to manage the DES-5024. Three types of management are available on the DES-5024: • Local Console Management (out-of-band) • Telnet Management (in-band) • D-View/ SNMP Management The DES-5024 can be managed in-band or out-of-band. In-band management refers to managing the DES-5024 through one of the MDI-X ports. Out-of-band management means going through the RS-232 port.
Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide Local Console Management Local Console Management is always done through the RS-232 serial port and requires a direct connection between the DES-5024 and a PC. This type of management is very useful when the network is down and the DES-5024 cannot be reached by any other means. Use Local Console Management to log into the DES-5024 for the first time. You do not need to know the IP address to log into the DES-5024 using Local Console Management.
Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide Telnet You can manage the DES-5024 via Telnet session. However, first you must assign a unique IP address to the DES-5024. Use Local Console Management to log into the DES5024 for the first time so that you can assign an IP address. Once you have assigned an IP address to the DES-5024, you can use the management method of your choice. Telnet management can be done through any of the ports. Follow these steps to manage the DES-5024 through a Telnet session: 1.
Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide Log In The Log In panel, displayed in Figure 15, is the first panel you see when connecting to the DES-5024.

Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide System Rate Control The System Rate Control panel, displayed in Figure 23, allows you to set the packet forwarding rate on the DES-5024. There are two options: Store & Forward and CutThrough. Figure 23: System Rate Control The DES-5024 can be set for Store and Forward or Cut-Through. This is a global setting that affects all the ports except the RS-232 port.
Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide example, 1500 byte packets are delayed by 1200 microseconds in a Store and Forward device versus 60 microseconds in a Cut-Through device. Store and Forward requires more memory because the DES-5024 must store the packet before sending it out. Advantages of Cut-Through Cut-Through is faster because the packet is sent as soon as the first 128 bytes are received.

The 100BASE-FX ports can only be in the 100/Fx Half or 100/Fx Full states. The 1000BASE-FX port can only be in 1000SX/Full. Half-duplex operation is not supported in the Gigabit Module. Port State All ports have four states: blocking, listening, learning and forwarding.
Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide Spanning Tree Configuration The Spanning Tree Configuration panel is used to configure the Spanning Tree Algorithm. The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) in the DES-5024 allows you to create alternative paths (using multiple switches or bridges) in your network. These backup paths are idle until the DES-5024 determines that a problem has developed in the primary path. If the primary path breaks down STA will activate the backup path.
Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide Spanning Tree Algorithm Spanning Tree Algorithm can be enabled or disabled. Use Spanning Tree to prevent network loops. Bridge Priority The Bridge Priority can be from 0 to 65535. Zero is the highest Bridge Priority. The higher the Bridge Priority the greater the chance that the DES-5024 will be selected as the Root Bridge. The DES-5024 with the highest Bridge Priority is the Root Bridge.
Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide The switch with the lowest Bridge Identifier is the Root Bridge. It is best to make the Root Bridge the best switch on the network to ensure the best network performance and reliability. Root Bridge Specifies the MAC address of the Root Bridge. The DES-5024 may or may not be the root bridge. The DES-5024 is the default root bridge. Root Port Specifies the preferred path to the Root Bridge. Only one path per bridge can exist. The default setting is none.
Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide SNMP Management Configuration The SNMP Management Configuration panel is used to configure the DES-5024 for SNMP management.
