DGS-3200 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch

Parameter Description

System Severity

Choose how the alerts are used from the drop-down menu. Select Log to send the alert of the

Severity Type configured to the Switch’s log for analysis. Choose Trap to send it to an SNMP

agent for analysis, or select All to send the chosen alert type to an SNMP agent and the

Switch’s log for analysis.

Severity Level

Choose what level of alert will trigger sending the log entry or trap message as defined by the

Severity Name. Select Critical to send only critical events to the Switch’s log or SNMP agent.

Choose Warning to send critical and warning events to the Switch’s log or SNMP agent.

Select Information to send informational, warning, and critical events to the Switch’s log or

SNMP agent.

DHCP/BOOTP Relay

The DHCP/BOOTP Relay folder contains two windows: DHCP/BOOTP Relay Global Settings and DHCP/BOOTP Relay

Interface Settings.

DHCP/BOOTP Relay Global Settings

Users can enable and configure DHCP/BOOTP Relay Global Settings. The relay hops count limit allows the maximum number of

hops (routers) that the DHCP/BOOTP messages can be relayed through to be set. If a packet’s hop count is more than the hop

count limit, the packet is dropped. The range is between 1 and 16 hops, with a default value of 4. The relay time threshold sets the

minimum time (in seconds) that the Switch will wait before forwarding a BOOTREQUEST packet. If the value in the seconds

field of the packet is less than the relay time threshold, the packet will be dropped. The range is between 0 and 65,535 seconds,

with a default value of 0 seconds.

To view the following window, click Configuration > DHCP/BOOTP Relay > DHCP/BOOTP Relay Global Settings:

Parameter Description

DHCP/BOOTP Relay

State

This field can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled using the pull-down menu. It is

used to enable or disable the DHCP/BOOTP Relay service on the Switch. The default is

Disabled.

DHCP/BOOTP Relay

Hops Count Limit (1-

16)

This field allows an entry between 1 and 16 to define the maximum number of router hops

DHCP/BOOTP messages can be forwarded. The default hop count is 4.

DHCP/BOOTP Relay

Time Threshold (0-

65535)

Allows an entry between 0 and 65535 seconds, and defines the maximum time limit for

routing a DHCP/BOOTP packet. If a value of 0 is entered, the Switch will not process the

value in the seconds field of the BOOTP or DHCP packet. If a non-zero value is entered,

the Switch will use that value, along with the hop count to determine whether to forward a

given BOOTP or DHCP packet.
