24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide A BOUT T HIS G UIDE This User’s Guide tells you how to install your DES-3225G Series Switch, how to connect it to your Ethernet network, and how to set its configuration using either the built-in console interface or Web-based management.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 1 INTRODUCTION This section describes the features of the Switch, as well as giving some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Switching Technology Another key development pushing the limits of Ethernet technology is in the field of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Performance features ♦ Store and forward switching scheme capability to support rate adaptation and protocol conversion. ♦ Full- and half-duplex for both 10Mbps and 100Mbps connections. The 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet modules operate at full duplex only while the 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet module can also operate in half-duplex mode when auto negotiate is selected.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 2 U NPACKING AND S ETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: ♦ One DES-3225G 24-port NWay Ethernet Switch ♦ One 2-port 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet module preinstalled on front panel (DES-3225GF includes a 1-port 100BASE-FX module preinstalled).
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 2-1. Installing rubber feet for desktop installation Rack Installation The DES-3225G can be mounted in an EIA standard-sized, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets on the switch’s side panels (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided. Figure 2- 2A.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Power on The DES-3225G switch can be used with AC power supply 100 - 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. The Switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and may be used without having any or all LAN segment cables connected. After the switch is plugged in, the LED indicators should respond as follows: ♦ All LED indicators will momentarily blink. This blinking of the LED indicators represents a reset of the system.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 3 IDENTIFYING E XTERNAL C OMPONENTS This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, optional plug-in modules, and LED indicators of the DES-3225G. Front Panel The front panel of the Switch consists of LED indicators, an RS-232 communication port, a slide-in module slot, two uplink ports, and 22 (10/100 Mbps) Ethernet/Fast Ethernet ports. Figure 3-1. Front panel view of the Switch ♦ Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and the network.

24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 4 C ONNECTING T HE S WITCH This chapter describes how to connect the DES-3225G to your Fast Ethernet network. Switch to End Node End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100 or 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and most routers. The RJ-45 UTP ports on NICs and most routers are MDI-II. When using a normal straight-through cable, an MDI-II port must connect to an MDI-X port.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide ♦ A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 5 UTP/STP straight cable. If the other switch or hub contains an unused Uplink port, we suggest connecting the other device’s Uplink (MDI-II) port to any of the switch’s (MDI-X) ports (1x - 22x, or one of the 100BASE-TX module ports) using a normal straight-through cable, as shown below.
-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 5 S WITCH MANAGEMENT C ONCEPTS This chapter discusses many of the features used to manage the switch, and explains many concepts and important points regarding these features. Configuring the switch to implement these concepts is discussed in detail in the next chapters. Local Console Management Local console management involves the administration of the DES-3225G Switch via a direct connection to the RS-232 DCE console port.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide IP Addresses and SNMP Community Names Each Switch has its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). You can change the default Switch IP Address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme. In addition, you can also set an IP Address for a gateway router.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide ♦ Link Change Event This trap is sent whenever the link of a port changes from link up to link down or from link down to link up. ♦ Port Partition This trap is sent whenever a port is partitioned as a result of more than sixty-one collisions on the port (i.e., it is automatically partitioned). The number of collisions that triggers this trap is the same at either 10Mbps or 100Mbps.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide In the opposite case, if the Aging Time is too short, many entries may be aged out soon, resulting in a high percentage of received packets whose source addresses cannot be found in the address table, in which case the switch will broadcast the packet to all ports, negating many of the benefits of having a switch. Filtering Database A switch uses a filtering database to segment the network and control communications between segments.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide On the Bridge Level ♦ Root Bridge The switch with the lowest Bridge Identifier is the Root Bridge. Naturally, you will want the Root Bridge to be the best switch among the switches in the loop to ensure the highest network performance and reliability. ♦ Bridge Identifier This is the combination of the Bridge Priority (a parameter that you can set) and the MAC address of the switch. Example: 4 00 80 C8 00 01 00, where 4 is the Bridge Priority.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Observe the following formulas when you set the above parameters: 1. Max. Age 2. Max. Age 2 x (Forward Delay - 1 second) 2 x (Hello Time + 1 second) ♦ Port Priority A Port Priority can be from 0 to 255. The lower the number, the greater the probability the port will be chosen as the Root Port. Illustration of STA A simple illustration of three Bridges (or the Switch) connected in a loop is depicted in Figure 5-1.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Bridge Priority lower the #, Increases chance higher the of becoming the priority Root Bridge Avoid, if the switch is used in workgroup level of a large network Hello Time 1 - 10 sec. No effect, if not Root Bridge Never set greater than Max. Age Time Max. Age Time 6 - 40 sec. Compete for Root Bridge, if BPDU is not received Avoid low number for unnecessary reset of Root Bridge Forward Delay 4 - 30 sec. High # delays the change in state Max.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 5-3. Port trunking example The switch treats all ports in a trunk group as a single port. As such, trunk ports will not be blocked by Spanning Tree. Data transmitted to a specific host (destination address) will always be transmitted over the same port in a trunk group. This allows packets in a data stream to arrive in the same order they were sent.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide the utmost flexibility. MAC-based broadcast domains, on the other hand, allow a station to be physically moved yet still belong to the same broadcast domain without having to change and configuration settings. The untagging feature of IEEE 802.1Q VLANs allows VLANs to work with legacy switches that don’t recognize VLAN tags in packet headers. The tagging feature allows VLANs to span multiple 802.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Sharing Resources Across 802.1Q VLANs Network resources such as printers and servers however, can be shared across 802.1Q VLANs. This is achieved by setting up overlapping VLANs as shown in the diagram below. VLAN 3 VLAN 2 VLAN 1 1 2 3 4 P o rt V ID s = 1 Workstations 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 P o rt V I Ds = 2 P ort P V ID = 3 Network Server Graphics Workstations Figure 5-4.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide ♦ Tagging The act of putting 802.1Q VLAN information into the header of a packet. Tagging ports will put the VID number, priority, and other VLAN information into all packets that flow out it. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port will not alter the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact. Tagging is used to send packets from one 802.1Q-compliant device to another. ♦ Untagging The act of stripping 802.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide In the above example, step 4 is the key element. Because the packet has 802.1Q VLAN data encoded in its header, the ingress port can make VLAN-based decisions about its delivery: whether server #2 is attached to a port that is a member of VLAN 2 and thus, should the packet be delivered; the queuing priority to give to the packet, etc.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Segmenting Broadcast Domains The Switch allows you to segment broadcast domains. It does this by forwarding packets only to ports in the same broadcast domain or VLAN. Thus, broadcast packets will only be forwarded to ports that are members of the same broadcast domain or VLAN. Other parts of the network are effectively shielded. As a result, the smaller the broadcast domain, the less effect a broadcast storm will have.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 6 U SING THE C ONSOLE INTERFACE Your 24-port NWay Ethernet Switch supports a console management interface that allows you to set up and control your Switch, either with an ordinary terminal (or terminal emulator), or over the network using the TCP/IP Telnet protocol. You can use this facility to perform many basic network management functions.
24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 6-1. Example of a console connection Connecting to the Switch Using Telnet Once you have set an IP address for your Switch, you can use a Telnet program (in a VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to access and control the Switch. Most of the screens are identical, whether accessed from the console port or from a Telnet interface. You can also use a Web-based browser to manage the Switch.

24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide If both the Firmware Update and Use Config File options are enabled on the Update Firmware and Configuration Files screen, the Firmware Update command will take precedence and only the firmware file will be uploaded to the Switch. The Config image file, which contains all configuration settings and was created by the Switch, is prefixed with the version number of the runtime software to help with file management.
