Page 7: Introduction
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide NTRODUCTION 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.
Page 8: Switching Technology
Features The DES-3624 series of Switches can include one master (DES-3624I, DES-3624iF, or DES-3624iFM) and up to three clients (DES-3624, DES-3624F, or DES-3624FM). They are designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increases continuously.

Configuring the Switch to implement these concepts is discussed in detail in the next chapters.
Page 26: Ip Addresses And Snmp Community Names
Stackable 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.
Page 27: Mibs
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Topology Change Timer the new root trap is sent out immediately after the Switch’s selection as a new root. ♦ Topology Change A Topology Change trap is sent by the Switch when any of its configured ports transitions from the Learning state to the Forwarding state, or from the Forwarding state to the Blocking state.
Page 28: Aging Time
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Aging Time The Aging Time is a parameter that affects the auto-learn process of the Switch in terms of the network configuration. Dynamic Entries, which make up the auto-learned-node address, are aged out of the address table according to the Aging Time that you set.
Page 29: Sta Operation Levels
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide ♦ Automatic topology re-configuration When the path for which there is a backup path fails, the backup path will be automatically activated, and STA will automatically re-configure the network topology. STA Operation Levels STA operates on two levels: the bridge level and the port level. On the bridge level, STA calculates the Bridge Identifier for each Switch, then sets the Root Bridge and the Designated Bridges.

However, it is advisable to keep the default settings as set at the factory, unless it is absolutely necessary. The user changeable parameters in the Switch are as follows: ♦...

Page 32: Port Trunking
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Port Trunking Port trunking is used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data pipeline. The participating parts are called members of a trunk group, with one port designated as the anchor of the group.
Page 33: Mac-Based Broadcast Domains
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide setup on your network and configure the Switch accordingly. 802.1Q VLANs support IEEE 802.1Q tagging, which enables them to span the entire network (assuming all switches on the network are IEEE 802.1Q- compliant). In contrast, MAC-based broadcast domains are limited to the Switch and devices directly connected to them.
Page 34: 802.1Q Vlan Segmentation
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide There are two key components to understanding 802.1Q VLANs: Port VLAN ID numbers (PVIDs) and VLAN ID numbers (VIDs). Both variables are assigned to a switch port, but there are important differences between them. A user can only assign one PVID to each switch port. The PVID defines which VLAN a packet belongs to when packets need to be forwarded to another switch port or somewhere else on the network.
Page 35: 802.1Q Vlans Spanning Multiple Switches
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 7,11,12 1,2,3,7,11,12 Table 5-2. VLAN assignments for Figure 5-4 The server attached to Port 7 is shared by VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 because Port 7 is a member of both VLANs (it is listed as a member of VID 1 and 2). Since it can receive packets from both VLANs, all ports can successfully send packets to it to be printed.
Page 36: Port-Based Vlans
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 5-5. Data transmissions between 802.1Q-compliant Switches 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;...
Page 37: Broadcast Storms
However, with the advent of VLANs, switches are now able to limit broadcast domains better and cheaper than routers. Also, many switches, including the DES-3624 Series, have broadcast sensors and filters built into each port to further control broadcast storms.
Page 38: Using The Console Interface
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide SING THE ONSOLE NTERFACE Your Stackable 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.
Page 39: Connecting To The Switch Using Telnet
Stackable 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.

Page 59: Configure Filtering And Forwarding Table
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Configure Filtering and Forwarding Table When a packet hits the Switch, it looks in the filtering and forwarding tables to decide what to do with the packet; either to filter it off the network, or to forward it through the port on which its destination lies. Dynamic Filtering and Static Filtering are among the two important features of the Custom Filtering Table.

Decide if you want to enable Ingress Filtering and enable it on the chosen ports. Ingress filtering applied on a port causes the port to examine all incoming packets and check whether the port itself is a member of the VLAN.
