2. Web-based Switch Configuration
Management Options
Logging into the Web UI
Web User Interface (Web UI)
Management Options
The Switch provides multiple access platforms that can be used to configure, manage, and monitor networking
features available on this Switch. Currently there are three management platforms ava il able wh ich ar e descr ibed
below.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Switch can be managed, out-of-band, by using the console port or the MGMT port on the front panel of the Switch.
Alternatively, the Switch can also be managed, in-band, by using a Telnet connection to any of the LAN ports on the
Switch. The command line interface provides complete access to all Switch management features.
For more detailed information about the CLI, refer to the DXS-3400 Series CLI Reference Guide.
SNMP-based Management
The Switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The Switch supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3. The
SNMP agent decodes the incoming SNMP messages and responds to requests with MIB objects stored in the
database. The SNMP agent updates the MIB objects to generate statistics and counters.
Web User Interface (Web UI)
The Web UI can be accessed from any computer running web browsing software from its MGMT port or LAN port
when it is connected to any of the RJ45 or SFP/SFP+ ports. The Web UI on the Switch can also be accessed using an
HTTPS (SSL) connection.
This management interface is a more graphical representation of the features that can be viewed and configured on
the Switch. Most of the features available through the CLI can be accessed through the Web UI. Web browsers like
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome can be used.
NOTE: The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides the functionality of managing, configuring, and
monitoring all of the software features that are available on the S witc h.
Logging into the Web UI
To access the Web UI open a standard web browser and enter the IP address of the Switch into the address bar of
the browser and press the ENTER key.
NOTE: The default IP address of the Switch is 10.90.90.90, with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
Figure 2-1 Displays entering the IP address in Internet Explorer

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide
After pressing the ENTER key, the following authentication window should appear, as shown below.
Figure 2-2 Web UI Login Window
When connecting to the Web UI of the Switch for the first time, leave the User Name and Password fields blank and
click Login since there are no login user accounts created by default on the Switch.
NOTE: After a user account was created, login credentials will be required to access the Web UI.
During the sending and receiving of the login password to and from the Switch, this information
will be protected using a strong encryption algorithm to prevent attackers from snooping this
information to gain unauthorized access to the Switch.
Web User Interface (Web UI)
The Web UI provides access to various Switch configuration and management windows. It allows the user to view
performance statistics, and permits graphical monitoring of the system’s status.
Areas of the User Interface
The figure below shows the user interface. Four distinct areas that divide the user interface, as described in the table.

SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) designed specifically for
managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP enables network management stations to read and modify the
settings of gateways, routers, switches, and other network devices. Use SNMP to configure system features for proper
operation, monitor performance and detect potential problems in the Switch, switch group or network.
Managed devices that support SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs locally on the device. A
defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage the device. These
objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard presentation of the
information controlled by the on-board SNMP age nt. S N MP def ines both the format of the MIB specifications and the
protocol used to access this information over the network.
The Switch supports the SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3. The three versions of SNMP vary in the level of security
provided between the management station and the network device.
In SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, user authentication is accomplished using ‘community strings’, which function like
passwords. The remote user SNMP application and the Switch SNMP must use the same community string. SNMP
packets from any station that has not been authenticated are ignored (dropped).
The default community strings for the Switch used for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c management access are:
• public - Allows authorized management stations to retrieve MIB objects.
• private - Allows authorized management stations to retrieve and modify MIB objects.
SNMPv3 uses a more sophisticated authentication process that is separated into two parts. The first part is to
maintain a list of users and their attributes that are allowed to act as SNMP managers. The second part describes
what each user on that list can do as an SNMP manager.
The Switch allows groups of users to be listed and configured with a shared set of privileges. The SNMP version may
also be set for a listed group of SNMP managers. Thus, you may create a group of SNMP managers that are allowed
to view read-only information or receive traps using SNMPv1 while assigning a higher level of security to another
group, granting read/write privileges using SNMPv3.
Using SNMPv3 individual users or groups of SNMP managers can be allowed to perform or be restricted from
performing specific SNMP management functions. The functions allowed or restricted are defined using the Object
Identifier (OID) associated with a specific MIB. An additional la yer of sec urit y is available for SNMP v3 in that SNM P
messages may be encrypted. To read more about how to configure SNMPv3 settings for the Switch read the next
section.
Traps
30
Page 41
DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide
Traps are messages that alert network personnel of events that occur on the Switch. The events can be as serious as
a reboot (someone accidentally turned OFF the Switch), or less serious like a port status change. The Switch
generates traps and sends them to the trap recipient (or network manager). Typical traps include trap messages for
Authentication Failure, Topology Change and Broadcast\Multicas t Storm.
MIBs
The Switch in the Management Information Base (MIB) stores management and counter information. The Switch uses
the standard MIB-II Management Information Base module. Consequently, values for MIB objects can be retrieved
from any SNMP-based network management software. In addition to the standard MIB-II, the Switch also supports its
own proprietary enterprise MIB as an exten ded Ma nag ement Information Base. Specif ying the MIB Object Identifier
may also retrieve the proprietary MIB. MIB values can be either read-only or read-write.
The Switch incorporates a flexible SNMP management for the Switching environment. SNMP management can be
customized to suit the needs of the networks and the preferences of the network administrator. Use the SNMPv3
menus to select the SNMP version used for specific tasks.
The administrator can specify the SNMP version used to monitor and control the Switch. The three versions of SNMP
vary i n the level of security provided between the management station and the network device.
SNMP settings are configured using the menus located on the SNMP V3 folder of the Web manager. Workstations on
the network that are allowed SNMP privileged access to the Switch can be restricted with the Management Station IP
Address menu.

An authenticationFailuretrap is generated when the device receives an SNMP
message that is not properly authenticated. The authentication method depends
on the version of SNMP being used. For SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c, authentication
failure occurs if packets are formed with an incorrect community string. For
SNMPv3, authentication failure occurs if packets are formed with an incorrect
SHA/MD5 authentication key.
Tick this option to control the sending of port link up notifications. A linkup trap is
generated when the device recognizes that one of the communication links has
come up.

DHCP Server
DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, allows the Switch to delegate IP addresses, subnet masks, default
gateways and other IP parameters to devices that request this information. This occurs when a DHCP enabled device
is booted on or attached to the locally attached network. This device is known as the DHCP client and when enabled,
it will emit query messages on the network before any IP parameters are set. When the DHCP server receives this
request, it will allocate an IP address to the client. The DHCP client may be then utilize the IP address allocated by the
DHCP server as its local configuration.
The user can configure many DHCP related parameters that it will utilize on its locally attached network, to control and
limit the IP settings of clients desiring an automatic IP configuration, such as the lease time of the allotted IP address,
the range of IP addresses that will be allowed in its DHCP pool, the ability to exclude various IP addresses within the
pool so as not to make identical entries on its network, or to assign the IP address of an important device (such as a
DNS server or the IP address of the default route) to another device on the network.
Users also have the ability to bind IP addresses within the DHCP pool to specific MAC addresses in order to keep
consistent the IP addresses of devices that may be important to the upkeep of the network that require a static IP
address.

string here. This string can be up to 251 characters long.
The following rules need to be considered:
• This string can be a hexadecimal value, an ASCII string, or any combination
of hexadecimal values and ASCII characters. An ASCII string needs to be
enclosed with quotation marks (“”) like “Ethernet”. Any ASCII characters
outside of the quotation marks will be interpreted as hexadecimal values.
• A formatted key string is a string that should be translated before being
encapsulated in the packet. A formatted key string can be contained both
ASCII strings and hexadecimal values. For example, “%” +“$” +“ 1~32”+ “keyword”+ “:”:
○% - Indicates that the string that follows this character is a formatted
key string.
○“$” or “0” - (Optional) Indicates a fill indicator. This option specifies
how to fill the formatted key string to meet the length option. This option
can be either “$” or “0”, and cannot be specified as both at the same
time.
“$” - Indicates to fill the leading space (0x20).
“0” - Indicates to fill the leading 0. The fill the leading 0 (0) is the
default setting.
○1~32 - (Optional) Indicates a length option. This specifies how many
characters or bytes the translated key string should occupy. If the
actual length of the translated key string is less than the length
specified by this option, a fill indicator will be used to fill. Otherwise, this
length option and fill indicator will be ignored and t he a ctual stri ng w ill
be used directly.
○keyword - Indicates that the keyword will be translated based on the
actual value of the system. The following keyword definitions specifies
that a command will be refused if an unknown or unsupported keyword
is detected:
devtype - The model name of the device. Only an ASCII string is
allowed.
sysname - Indicates the System name of the Switch. Only an
ASCII string is allowed.
ifdescr - Derived from ifDescr (IF-MIB). Only an ASCII string is
allowed.
portmac - Indicates the MAC address of a port. This can be either
an ASCII string or a hexadecimal value. When in the format of an
ASCII string, the MAC address format can be customized using
special CLI commands. When in the format of a hexadecimal
value, the MAC address will be encapsulated by order in
hexadecimal.
sysmac - Indicates the system MAC address. This can be either
an ASCII string or a hexadecimal value. In the ASCII string format,
the MAC address format can be customized using special CLI
commands. In the hexadecimal format, the MAC address will be
encapsulated by order in hexadecimal.
unit - Indicates the unit ID. This can be either an ASCII string or a
hexadecimal value. For a standalone device, the unit ID is 0.
module - Indicates the module ID number. This can be either an
ASCII string or a hexadecimal value.

string or a hexadecimal value.
Parameter Description
svlan - Indicates the outer VLAN ID. This can be either an ASCII
string or a hexadecimal value.
cvlan - Indicates the inner VLAN ID. This can be either an ASCII
string or a hexadecimal value.
○ : - Indicates the end of the formatted key sting. If a formatted key string
is the last parameter of the command, its ending character (“:”) can be
ignored. The space (0x20) between “%” and “:” will be ignored. Other
spaces will be encapsulated.
• ASCII strings can be any combination of formatted key strings and 0~9, a~z,
A~Z, !@#$%^&*()_+|-=\[]{};:'"/?.,<>`, and space characters. “\” is the escape
character. The special character after “\” is the character itself, for example,
“\%” is “%” itself, not the start indicator of a formatted key string. Spaces not
in the formatted key string will also be encapsulated.
• Hexadecimal values can be any combination of formatted key strings and
0~9, A~F, a~f, and space characters. The formatted key strings only support
keywords that support hexadecimal values. Spaces not in the formatted key
string will be ignored.

DNS
Computer users usually prefer to use text names for computers for which they may want to open a connection.
Computers themselves, require 32 bit IP addresses. Somewhere, a database of network devices’ text names and their
corresponding IP addresses must be maintained.
The Domain Name System (DNS) is used to map names to IP addresses throughout the Internet and has been
adapted for use within intranets. For two DNS servers to communicate across different subnets, the DNS Relay of the
Switch must be used. The DNS servers are identified by IP addresses.
Mapping Domain Names to Addresses
Name-to-address translation is performed by a program called a Name server. The client program is called a Name
resolver. A Name resolver may need to contact several Name servers to translate a name to an address.
The Domain Name System (DNS) servers are organized in a somewhat hierarchical fashion. A single server often
holds names for a single network, which is connected to a root DNS server - usually maintained by an ISP.
Domain Name Resolution
The domain name system can be used by contacting the name servers one at a time, or by asking the domain name
system to do the complete name translation. The client makes a query containing the name, the type of answer
required, and a code specifying whether the domain name system should do the entire name translation, or simply
return the address of the next DNS server if the server receiving the query cannot resolve the name.
When a DNS server receives a query, it checks to see if the name is in its sub domain. If it is, the server translates the
name and appends the answer to the query, and sends it back to the client. If the DNS server cannot translate the
68
Page 79
DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide
name, it determines what type of name resolution the client requested. A complete translation is called recursive
resolution and requires the server to contact other DNS servers until the name is resolved. Iterative resolution
specifies that if the DNS server cannot supply an answer, it returns the address of the next DNS server the client
should contact.
Each client must be able to contact at least one DNS server, and each DNS server must be able to contact at least
one root server.
The address of the machine that supplies domain name service is often supplied by a DHCP or BOOTP server, or can
be entered manually and configured into the operating system at startup.

Stacking
The Switch supports stacking 4 Switches together while being managed by one console connection to any one of the
console ports on the master Switch, or by an IP address through the MGMT port, or by multiple IP addresses through
any of the RJ45/SFP+ ports using Telnet, the Web User Interface, and SNMP. This cost effective Switch provides an
affordable solution for administrators to upgrade their networks using the combo RJ45/SFP+ ports to scale and stack
the Switches. This increases overall reliability, serviceability, and availability.
•Duplex Chain – The Duplex Chain topology stacks Switches together in a chain-link format. Using this method,
data transfer is only possible in one direction and if there is a break in the chain, then data transfer will
obviously be affected.
•Duplex Ring – The Duplex Ring stacks Switches in a ring or circle format where data can be transferred in two
directions. This topology is very resilient due to the fact that if there is a break in the ring, data can still be
transferred through the stacking cables between Switches in the stack.
80
Page 91
DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide
Switches in the series can be physically stacked using standard Category 6a cables with RJ45 connectors, optical
fiber cables connected to SFP+ transceivers, or Direct Attached Cables (DAC) with SFP+ connectors. Only the last 4
ports can be used for physical stacking.
Physical stacking needs to be enabled and can be configured to support either a 2-port or a 4-port stacking
configuration. When the 2-port stacking configuration is used, a full-duplex speed of up to 40Gbps will be used
between two Switches. When the 4-port stacking configuration is used, a full-duplex speed of up to 80Gbps will be
used between two Switches.
The figure below illustrates how Switches can be stacked in a Duplex Chain formation using Category 6a cables with
RJ45 connectors where the 2-port stacking configuration is used.

Figure 4-78 Duplex Ring stacking topology (SFP+)
NOTE: SIO1 is a logical stacking port pair. SIO2 is also a logical stacking port pair. A logical stacking
port pair must always be connected to the same Switch in the stack. Splitting logical stacking
port pairs between different Switches in the stack might not guarantee a stable stacking
connection.
Within each of these topologies, each Switch plays a role in the Switch stack. These roles can be set by the user per
individual Switch, or if desired, can be automatically determined by the Switch stack. Three possible roles exist when
stacking with the Switch.
Primary Master - The Primary Master is the leader of the stack. It will maintain normal operations, monitor operations
and the running topology of the Stack. The Switch will also assign Stack Unit IDs, synchronize configurations and
transmit commands to remaining Switches in the S wit c h stack. The Primary Master can be manually set by assigning
82
Page 93
DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide
this Switch the highest priority (a lower number denotes a higher priority) before physically assembling the stack, or it
can be determined automatically by the stack through an election process which determines the lowest MAC address
and then will assign that Switch as the Primary Master, if all priorities are the same. The Primary master are physically
displayed by the seven segment LED to the far left on the front panel of the Switch where this LED will flash between
its given Box ID and ‘H’.
Backup Master - The Backup Master is the backup to the Primary Master, and will take over the functions of the
Primary Master if the Primary Master fails or is removed from the Stack. It also monitors the status of neighboring
Switches in the stack, will perform commands assigned to it by the Primary Master and will monitor the running status
of the Primary Master. The Backup Master can be set by the user by assigning this Switch the second highest priority
before physically assembling the stack, or it can be determined automatically by the stack through an election process
which determines the second lowest MAC address and then will assign that Switch as the Backup Master, if all
priorities are the same. The Backup master are physically displayed by the seven segment LED to the far left on the
front panel of the Switch where this LED will flash between its given Box ID and ‘h’.
Slave - Slave Switches constitute the rest of the Switch stack and although not Primary or Backup Masters, they can
be placed into these roles when these other two roles fail or are removed from the stack. Slave Switches perform
operations requested by the master, monitor the status of neighbor Switches in the stack and the stack topology and
adhere to the Backup Master’s commands once it becomes a Primary Master. Slave Switches will do a self-check to
determine if it is to become the Backup Master if the Backup Master is promoted to the Primary Master, or if the
Backup Master fails or is removed from the Switch stack. If both Primary and Backup masters fail, or are removed
from the Switch stack, it will determine if it is to become the Primary Master. These roles will be determined, first by
priority and if the priority is the same, the lowest MAC address.
Once Switches have been assembled in the topology desired by the user and powered on, the stack will undergo
three processes until it reaches a functioning state.
•Initialization State - This is the first state of the stack, where the runtime codes are set and initialized and the
system conducts a peripheral diagnosis to determine each individual Switch is functioning properly.
•Master Election State - Once the codes are loaded and initialized, the stack will undergo the Master Election
State where it will discover the type of topology used, elect a Primary Master and then a Backup Master.
•Synchronization State - Once the Primary Master and the Backup Master have been established, the Primary
Master will assign Stacking Unit IDs to Switches in the stack, synchronize configurations for all Switches and
then transmit commands to the rest of the Switches based on the users configurations of the Primary Master.
Once these steps have been completed, the S witc h stack will enter a normal operating mode.
Stack Switch Swapping
The stacking feature of the Switch supports “hot swapping” of Switches in and out of the running stack. Users may
remove or add Switches to the stack without powering down or largely affecting the transfer of data between Switches
in the stack, with a few minor provisions.
When Switches are “hot inserted” into the running stack, the new Switch may take on the Primary Master, Backup
Master or Slave role, depending on configurations set on the newly added Switch, such as configured priority or MAC
address. Yet, if adding two stacks together that have both previously undergone the election process, and therefore
both have a Primary Master and a Backup master, a new Primary Master will be elected from one of the already
existing Primary Masters, based on priority or MAC address. This Primary Master will take over all of the Primary
Master’s roles for all new Switches that were hot inserted. This process is done using discovery packets that circulate
through the Switch stack every 1.5 seconds until the discovery process has been completed.
The “hot remove” action means removing a device from the stack while the stack is still running. The hot removal is
detected by the stack when it fails to receive heartbeat packets during its specified interval from a device, or when one
of the stacking ports links is down. Once the device has been removed, the remaining Switches will update their
stacking topology database to reflect the change. Any one of the three roles, Primary Master, Backup Master or Slave,
may be removed from the stack, yet different processes occur for each specific device removal.
If a Slave device has been removed, the Primary Master will inform other Switches of the hot remove of this device
through the use of unit leave messages. Switches in the stack will clear the configurations of the unit removed, and
dynamically learned databases, such as ARP, will be cleared as well.
If the Backup Master has been hot removed, a new Backup Master will be chosen through the election process
previously described. Switches in the stack will clear the configurations of the unit removed, and dynamically learned
databases, such as ARP, will be cleared as well. Then the Backup Master will begin backing up the Primary Master
when the database synchronization has been completed by the stack.
If the Primary Master is removed, the Backup Master will assume the Primary Master’s role and a new Backup Master
will be chosen using the election process. Switches in the stack will clear the configurations of the unit removed, and
83
Page 94
DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide
dynamically learned databases, such as ARP, will be cleared as well. The new Prim ary Master will inh erit the MAC
and IP address of the previous Primary Master to avoid conflict within the stack and the network itself.
If both the Primary Master and the Backup Master are removed, the election process is immediately processed, and a
new Primary Master and Backup Master are determined. Switches in the stack will clear the configurations of the units
removed, and dynamically learned databases, such as ARP, will be cleared as well. Static Switch configurations still
remain in the database of the remaining Switches in the stack and those functions will not be affected.
NOTE: If there is a Box ID conflict when the stack is in the discovery phase, the device will enter a
special standalone topology mode. Users can only get device information, configure Box IDs,
save and reboot. All stacking ports will be disabled and an error message will be produced on
the local console port of each device in the stack. Users must reconfigure Box IDs and reboot
the stack.

Stacking Bandwidth
This window is used to display and configure the stacking bandwidth settings. Physical stacking needs to be enabled
and can be configured to support either a 2-port or a 4-port stacking configuration.
• When the 2-port stacking configuration is used, a full-duplex speed of up to 40Gbps will be used between two
Switches using the physical ports 23 and 24. Port 23 will act as SIO1 and port 24 will act as SIO2.
• When the 4-port stacking configuration is used, a full-duplex speed of up to 80Gbps will be used between two
Switches using ports 21 to 24 aggregated into two virtual stacking ports. Ports 21 and 23 will act as SIO1 and
ports 22 and 24 will act as SIO2.
SIO1 is a logical stacking port pair and SIO2 is a logical stacking port pair. A logical stacking port pair must always be
connected to the same Switch in the stack. Splitting logical stacking port pairs between different Switches in the stack
might not guarantee a stable stacking connection.
The stacking bandwidth must be configured before the Switch is stacked with other Switches.

Virtual Stacking (SIM)
D-Link Single IP Management (SIM) is a concept that will stack Switches together over Ethernet instead of using
stacking ports or modules. There are some advantages in implementing the Single IP Management feature:
85
Page 96
DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide
• SIM can simplify management of small workgroups or wiring closets while scaling the network to handle
increased bandwidth demand.
• SIM can reduce the number of IP address needed in your network.
• SIM can eliminate any specialized cables for stacking connectivity and remove the distance barriers that
typically limit your topolog y options when us in g other st ac king technology.
Switches using D-Link Single IP Management (labeled here as SIM) must conform to the following rules:
• SIM is an optional feature on the Switch and can easily be enabled or disabled through the Command Line
Interface or Web Interface. SIM grouping has no effect on the normal operation of the Switch in the user’s
network.
• There are three classifications for Switches using SIM. The Commander Switch (CS), which is the master
Switch of the group, Member Switch (MS), which is a Switch that is recognized by the CS a member of a SIM
group, and a Candidate Switch (CaS), which is a Switch that has a physical link to the SIM group but has not
been recognized by the CS as a member of the SIM group.
• A SIM group can only have one Commander Switch (CS).
• A SIM group accepts up to 32 Switches (numbered 1-32), not including the Commander Switch (numbered 0).
• Members of a SIM group cannot cross a router.
• There is no limit to the number of SIM groups in the same IP subnet (broadcast domain); however a single
Switch can only belong to one group.
• If multiple VLANs are configured, the SIM group will only utilize the management VLAN on any Switch.
• SIM allows intermediate devices that do not support SIM. This enables the user to manage Switches that are
more than one hop away from the CS.
The SIM group is a group of Switches that are managed as a single entity. The Switch may take on three different
roles:
1. Commander Switch (CS) - This is a Switch that has been manually configured as the controlling device for a
group, and takes on the following characteristics:
It has an IP Address.
It is not a command Switch or member Switch of another Single IP group.
It is connected to the member Switches through its management VLAN.
2. Member Switch (MS) - This is a Switch that has joined a single IP group and is accessible from the CS, and it
takes on the following characteristics:
It is not a CS or MS of another IP group.
It is connected to the CS through the CS management VLAN.
3. Candidate Switch (CaS) - This is a Switch that is ready to join a S IM group but is not yet a mem ber of the SIM
group. The Candidate Switch may join the SIM group of the Switch by manually configuring it to be a MS of a
SIM group. A Switch configured as a CaS is not a member of a SIM group and will take on the following
characteristics:
It is not a CS or MS of another Single IP group.
It is connected to the CS through the CS management VLAN
The following rules also apply to the above roles:
• Each device begins in a Candidate state.
• A CS must change its role to CaS and then to MS, to become a MS of a SIM group. Thus, the CS cannot
directly be converted to a MS.
• The user can manually configure a CS to become a CaS.
• A MS can become a CaS by:
Being configured as a CaS through the CS.
If report packets from the CS to the MS time out.
• The user can manually configure a CaS to become a CS

• The CaS can be configured through the CS to become a MS.
After configuring one Switch to operate as the CS of a SIM group, additional Switches may join the group by manually
configuring the Switch to be a MS. The CS will then serve as the in band entry point for access to the MS. The CS’s IP
address will become the path to all MS’s of the group and the CS’s Administrator’s password, and/or authentication
will control access to all MS’s of the SIM group.
With SIM enabled, the applications in the CS will redirect the packet instead of executing the packets. The
applications will decode the packet from the administrator, modify some data, and then send it to the MS. After
execution, the CS may receive a response packet from the MS, which it will encode and send it back to the
administrator.
When a CaS becomes a MS, it automatically becomes a member of the first SNMP community (includes read/write
and read only) to which the CS belongs. However, if a MS has its own IP address, it can belong to SNMP
communities to which other Switches in the group, including the CS, do not belong.
Upgrade to v1.61
To better improve SIM management, the Switches have been upgraded to version 1.61 in this release. Many
improvements have been made, including the Commander Switch (CS) now has the capability to automatically
rediscover member Switches that have left the SIM group, either through a reboot or web malfunction. This feature is
accomplished through the use of Discover packets and Maintenance packets that previously set SIM members will
emit after a reboot. Once a MS has had its MAC address and password saved to the CS’s database, if a reboot
occurs in the MS, the CS will keep this MS information in its database and when a MS has been rediscovered, it will
add the MS back into the SIM tree automatically. No configuration will be necessary to rediscover these Switches.
There are some instances where pre-saved MS Switches cannot be rediscovered. For example, if the Switch is still
powered down, if it has become the member of another group, or if it has been configured to be a Commander Switch,
the rediscovery process cannot occur.
The topology map now includes new features for connections that are a member of a port trunking group. It will
display the speed and number of Ethernet connections creating this port trunk group, as shown in the adjacent picture.
This version will support Switch upload and downloads for firmware, configuration files and log files, as follows:
• Firmware - The Switch now supports MS firmware downloads from a TFTP server.
• Configuration Files - The Switch now supports downloading and uploading of configuration files both to (for
configuration restoration) and from (for configuration backup) MS’s, using a TFTP server.
•Log - The Switch now supports uploading MS log files to a TFTP server.
The user may zoom in and zoom out when utilizing the topology window to get a better, more defined view of the
configurations.
