CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before installing components in the rack. After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and may result in

 The product has been dropped or damaged.  The product does not operate correctly when the operating instructions are correctly followed.

General safety cautions:

 Keep the system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents.  Do not spill food or liquids on system components, and never operate the product in a wet environment. If the

system gets wet contact your trained service provider.

 Do not push any objects into the openings of the system. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting

out interior components.

 Only use this product with approved equipment.  Allow the product to cool before removing the cover or touching internal components.  Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If

unsure of the type of power source required, consult your service provider or local power company.

 Be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.  Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable for your system or for

any AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product's electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.

 To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into properly grounded electrical

outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If using an extension cable is necessary, use a 3wire cable with properly grounded plugs.

 Observe the extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products

plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.

 To help protect the system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge

suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

 Position system cables and power cables carefully. Route cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped

over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.

 Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site

modifications. Always follow your local or national wiring rules.

When connecting or disconnecting power to and from hot-pluggable power supplies, observe the following guidelines:

 Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.  Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.  If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power

cables from the power supplies.

 Move products with care and ensure that all casters and stabilizers are firmly connected to the system. Avoid

sudden stops and uneven surfaces.

To help avoid damage to the system, be sure that the voltage selection switch, on the power supply, is set to match the power available at the Switch’s location:

 115V/60Hz is used mostly in North and South America as well as Far Eastern countries like as South Korea

and Taiwan

 100V/50Hz is used mostly in Eastern Japan and 100V/60Hz in Western Japan  230V/50Hz is used mostly in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Far East

General Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products

Please pay careful attention to the following precautions concerning rack stability and safety. Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, a component refers to any system, as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware:

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

serious injury.

CAUTION: Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if uncertain that suitable grounding is available.

CAUTION: The system chassis must be positively grounded to the rack cabinet frame. Do not attempt to connect power to the system until grounding cables are connected. Completed power and safety ground wiring must be inspected by a qualified electrical inspector. An energy hazard will exist if the safety ground cable is omitted or disconnected.

 Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor, and

that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.

 Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.  Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.  Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into or out of a rack;

the slide rails can pinch your fingers.

 After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, and then slide the

component into the rack.

 Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not

exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.

 Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.  Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a rack.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before touching any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. This can be done by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.

The following steps can also be taken prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

 When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from

the antistatic packing material until ready to install the component in the system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.

 When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.  Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads, workbench pads

and an antistatic grounding strap.

Switch Description Package Contents Features Front Panel Components Rear Panel Components Side Panel

Switch Description

DXS-3400 Series is D-Link’s latest 10G, Light Layer 3, managed switch, containing 20 10GBASE-T ports with 4 10GBASE-T/SFP+ combo ports, or 20 SFP+ ports with 4 10GBASE-T/SFP+ combo ports. The major target application for the DXS-3400 Series is the aggregation of switches in the network, or integration of the DXS-3400 Series as the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch in a corporation’s Data Center or server farm.

DXS-3400 Series supports a High Availability (HA) design by utilizing virtual and physical stacking, a redundant power supply, and multiple removable fans. With stacking architecture, only a single IP address is needed to manage all switches in the stack. The DXS-3400 Series also provides great flexibility to adding or removing a switch to and from the network without interrupting normal network operation. The redundant power supply design provides a reliable HA architecture to ensure non-stop operation.

The DXS-3400-24TC supports 20 10GBASE-T ports with 4 10GBASE-T/SFP+ combo ports. The DXS-3400-24SC supports 20 10G SFP+ ports with 4 10GBASE-T/SFP+ combo ports.

The 10GBASE-T standard provides the requisite backwards compatibility that allows end users to transparently upgrade from a 10/100/1000 Mbps network to a 10 Gbps network by using cost-effective unshielded or shielded, Category 6, 6A, or 7 RJ45 cables.

10G SFP+ has advantages of lower power consumption, longer distance support, and better latency performance.

Installation Guidelines

This section will discuss the hardware installation guidelines that the user must follow in order to properly and safely install this switch into the appropriate environment.

 Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to both the power connector, on the Switch, and

the electrical outlet that supplies power.

 Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place within the acceptable operating temperature and humidity

ranges. For more information about the acceptable operating temperature and humidity ranges, refer to the Physical and Environmental section.

 Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators such as motors, vibration, dust,

and direct exposure to sunlight.

Installing the Switch without a Rack

This section is used to guide the user through installing the Switch in an area other than a switch rack. Attach the included rubber feet to the bottom of the Switch. Take note that there should be marked blocks on the bottom of the Switch to indicate where to attach the rubber feet. These markings are usually found in each corner on the bottom of the device. The rubber feet cushion the Switch, protecting the casing from scratches and preventing it from scratching other surfaces.

Figure 2-1 Attaching rubber feet to the Switch

Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support the weight of the Switch (see the Weight section in Appendix A - Technical Specifications.). Do not place any heavy objects on the Switch. The power outlet should be

within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Switch. Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Switch. Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the Switch for ventilation. Without proper heat dissipation and air circulation, system components might overheat which could lead to system failure or even severely damaged components.

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Installing the Switch into a Rack

This section is used to guide the user through installing the Switch into a switch rack. The Switch can be mounted in a standard 19" (1 U) rack using the provided mounting brackets.

1. Fasten the mounting brackets to the sides of the Switch using the screws provided.

Figure 2-2 Attaching rack-mount brackets to the Switch

2. Fasten the mounting brackets in any available open space in the rack using the screws provided.

Figure 2-3 Installing the Switch in a Rack

Make sure that there is adequate space around the Switch to allow for proper air flow, ventilation, and cooling.

Installing Transceivers into the Transceiver Ports

The Switch is equipped with Enhanced Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) ports that can be used to connect various other networking devices to this switch that do not support the standard RJ45 wiring connection. These ports are

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

generally used to connect this switch to optical fiber connections and can be used to connect devices to the Switch over great distances. The maximum distance that the RJ45 wiring connection can reach is 100 meters. Fiber optic connections can span several kilometers.

The figure below illustrates how to properly insert SFP+ transceivers into the Switch’s SFP+ ports.

Figure 2-4 Inserting transceivers into the transceiver ports

The SFP+ ports also support other transceiver form factors like SFP and SFP+ transceivers. A complete list of SFP/SFP+ transceivers, compatible with this switch, can be found the SFP+ Ports section in Appendix A - Technical Specifications at the end of this document.

Installing Power Modules into the Power Module Slots

The power module slots, located on the rear panel of this switch, support two types of power supply modules.

AC Power Supply Module:

 DXS-PWR300AC: A 300 Watt AC power supply tray with front-to-back airflow.

DC Power Supply Module:

 DXS-PWR300DC: A 300 Watt DC power supply tray with front-to-back airflow.

Installing an AC Power Module

Insert the AC power supply module into the power module slot until the clip clicks in place. Connect the one end of the AC power cord supplied to the AC power connector and the other end into a properly grounded electrical outlet. The Switch will automatically adjust the AC power setting to adapt to any voltage supply in the range from 100~240 VAC at 50~60 Hz.

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Figure 2-5 Installing an AC Power Supply Module

Figure 2-6 Installed AC Power Supply Module

In addition, an optional second AC power supply module can be plugged into the second power supply module slot, as displayed above. When two AC Power supply modules are inserted, and both are supplying power to the Switch, the AC power load will be shared between them. When one of the AC power supply modules fails, the other AC power supply module will continue to supply power to the Switch automatically.

The AC power supply modules are hot-swappable, meaning, that they can be inserted and removed while the Switch is powered on. This feature enhances the reliability of this switch.

Installing a DC Power Module

This switch supports a unique dual power input feature. Insert the DC power supply module into the power module slot until the clip clicks in place. Connect the one end of the DC power cord supplied to a DC power source (-48 VDC, 5.2 A). Make sure that connection polarity (positive and negative) is correct before supplying DC power to the Switch to avoid any damage to the Switch. Connect the power source to the DC plug before plugging it into the Switch. This will protect the Switch from a possible shortage on the DC cable.

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Figure 2-7 Installing a DC Power Supply Module

Figure 2-8 Connecting a DC Battery to the DC Power Supply Module

The DC power and AC power of the device will back each other up immediately when one of the power sources fails.

Before connecting the DC power cable to the DC power input socket on the Switch, the DC power cable must be properly connected to DC source at your facility by a qualified licensed electrician. The DC power cable’s wire gauge must be 18 AWG. Connect the DC power cable to a DC main circuit breaker rated no greater than 15 A.

If you are installing a DC-powered switch, you must ground the chassis before connecting the Switch to the DC power source, using the following instructions:

 Use a minimum of 18 AWG stranded copper wire. The wire should be long enough to reach from the Switch to

the facility ground point.

 Torque screwdriver with a 1/4-inch flat blade.  Ground additional hardware appropriately to the earth ground connection at your site.

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Installing Fan Modules into the Fan Module Slots

Located on the rear panel of this switch there are three fan module slots.

Figure 2-9 Installing a Fan Module

The user can easily remove and insert the DXS-FAN100 fan module into these slots. Use the screws on the fan modules to securely fasten the fan modules to the Switch.

3. Switch Connections

Switch to an End Node Switch to Another Switch Switch Stacking Switch to a Server

Switch to an End Node

An end node is a generic name for edge networking devices that will be connected to this switch. Typical examples of end nodes are Personal Computers (PCs), Notebooks, Access Points, Print Servers, VoIP Phones and more. Each end node should be fitted with a 100/1000/10000 Mbps RJ45 networking port. Normally, end nodes will connect to this switch by using a standard twisted-pair UTP/STP network cable. When a successful connection is established, the corresponding port light will illuminate and blink to indicate that network activity is taking place on that port.

The diagram below displays a typical end node connected to the Switch.

Figure 3-1 Connecting the Switch to an End Node

Switch to Another Switch

The Switch can be used to connect to any other switch or hub in the network. This network topology is used when the Switch does not have enough ports to cater for all the end nodes in the network.

There is a great deal of flexibility on how connections are made using the appropriate cabling.

 Connect a 100BASE-TX switch port to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.  Connect a 1000BASE-T switch port to the Switch via a twisted pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable.  Connect a 10GBASE-T switch port to the Switch via a twisted pair Category 6a UTP/STP cable.  Connect a switch supporting a 1/10 Gbps optical uplink to the Switch’s SFP+ ports via fiber optical cabling.

Figure 3-2 Connecting the Switch to another switch/hub

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Switch Stacking

The DXS-3400 series supports stacking up to 4 switches together while being managed through one console connection 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 UI, 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. If there is a break in the chain, then data transfer will 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 using the alternate path.

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 on the Switch 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 40 Gbps will be used between two switches. When the 4-port stacking configuration is used, a full-duplex speed of up to 80 Gbps 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 3-3 Duplex Chain stacking topology (RJ45)

The figure below illustrates how switches can be stacked in a Duplex Chain formation using optical fiber cables connected to SFP+ transceivers or DAC with SFP+ connectors where the 2-port stacking configuration is used.

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

NOTE: Stacking Input/Output 1 (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.

Figure 3-6 Duplex Ring stacking topology (SFP+)

Switch to a Server

The Switch is ideal for connecting to a network backbone, server, or server farm. The RJ45 ports operate at a speed of 100/1000/10000 Mbps. The SFP+ ports operate at a speed of 1/10 Gbps.

Figure 3-7 Connecting the Switch to a server

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

NOTE: When an active console connection is made to both the RJ45 console port and the mini-USB console port at the same time, the mini-USB console port will have higher priority.

4. Switch Management

Management Options Connecting to the Console Port Connecting to the MGMT Port Connecting using SNMP

Management Options

This 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 available which are described below.

Command Line Interface (CLI)

This 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, 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, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. 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 this 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.

For more detailed information about the Web UI, refer to the DXS-3400 Series Web UI Reference Guide.

Connecting to the Console Port

The front panel of the Switch provides an RJ45 and a mini-USB console port to connect a remote system for monitoring and configuring the Switch. Both ports require their respective cables included with the Switch, to establish the physical connection.

Connecting to the RJ45 Console Port

To use the RJ45 console port, the following equipment is needed:

 A terminal or a computer with both an RS-232 serial port and terminal emulation software.  A console cable with a male DB9 connector on one end and an RJ45 connection on the other. This cable

should be included with the Switch. It establishes the physical connection to the console port.

To connect the RJ45 console port on the Switch to the computer:

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

 Connect the male DB9 connector on the console cable (shipped with the Switch) to the RS-232 serial port on

the computer running terminal emulation software then insert the RJ45 connector into the RJ45 console port on the front of the Switch.

To configure the terminal emulation software as follows:

 Select the appropriate serial port (COM1 or COM2).  Set the data rate to 115200 baud.  Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.  Set flow control to none.

Figure 4-1 COM Port Configuration

To be able to view the boot procedure, the Switch needs to be rebooted. The simplest way, at this stage, to reboot the Switch is to unplug and re-insert the power cable from and into the power receptacle on the back of the Switch.

After correctly configuring the terminal settings and re-inserting the power cable, the boot procedure will appear in the terminal.

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

NOTE: The first user automatically gets Administrator level privileges. At least one Administratorlevel user account must be created for the Switch.

NOTE: It is highly recommended to create a user account containing a username and a password on the Switch to prevent unauthorized access to the management interface.

Connecting to the Switch for the First Time

The Switch supports user-based security that can prevent unauthorized users from accessing the Switch or changing its configuration. This section will explain how to log into the Switch’s Command Line Interface via the out-of-band console connection.

Upon initial connection to the Switch, the login screen appears (see example below).

DXS-3400-24SC TenGigabit Ethernet Switch

Command Line Interface

Firmware: Build 2.00.008

Switch>

By default, there is no Username and Password configured in the account settings of this switch. This will allow the user to simply connect to this Switch for the first time by pressing the ‘Enter’ key. After pressing Enter, access will be given to enter commands after the command prompt (Switch>) appears.

Creating a User Account

One of the first and most important tasks after powering-on the Switch for the first time is to create a user account with administrator-level privileges. Logging in using a predefined administrator-level username will give the user privileged access to the Switch's management software.

An example to create an administrator-level account for the Switch called ‘NewUser’:

Switch>enable

Switch#configure terminal

Switch(config)#username NewUser password 12345

Switch(config)#username NewUser privilege 15

Switch(config)#line console

Switch(config-line)#login local

Switch(config-line)#end

Switch#

In the example above:

1. At the CLI command prompt, enter the enable command to enter the Privileged EXEC Mode. Press Enter.

2. Enter the configure terminal command to enter the Global Configuration Mode. Press Enter.

3. Enter the username NewUser password 12345 command. Press Enter. This will create a user account with the username of NewUser and a password of 12345.

4. Enter the username NewUser privilege 15 command. Press Enter. This will configure this user account to have Administrative (15) privileges.

5. Enter the line console command to enter the Line Configuration Mode. Press Enter.

6. Enter the login local command. Press Enter. This specifies that the local line requires login credentials.

7. Enter the end command to exit back to the Privileged EXEC Mode.

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

NOTE: Passwords are case sensitive. Usernames can be up to 32 characters in length. Passwords can be up to 32 plain-text characters in length.

Configuring the IP Address

Each switch must be assigned its own in-band IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP applications. The Switch's default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. You can change the IP address of the Switch to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.

The IP address of the Switch must be configured before it can be managed, by the user, via the Web UI.

An example to change the IP address of the Switch to ‘10.50.50.50’, using a subnet mask of ‘255.0.0.0’:

Switch>enable

Switch#configure terminal

Switch(config)#interface vlan 1

Switch(config-if)#ip address 10.50.50.50 255.0.0.0

Switch(config-if)#

In the above example,

1. We accessed the Privileged EXEC Mode by entering the command enable.

2. Then we entered the Global Configuration Mode by entering the command, configure terminal.

3. Then we entered the VLAN Configuration Mode of the default VLAN, which is VLAN 1, by entering the command, interface vlan 1.

4. Then we changed the IP address of the Switch to 10.50.50.50 and the subnet mask to 255.0.0.0 by entering the command ip address 10.50.50.50 255.0.0.0.

The Switch can now be accessed and configured using the IP address through Telnet or the Web UI. Alternatively, the Switch can also be configured to receive its IP address using DHCP.

Connecting to the MGMT Port

The front panel of the Switch features an Out-Of-Band (OOB) RJ45 MGMT port which can be used to connect to a computer using a standard Ethernet cable. A web browser or Telnet client can be used to connect to the Switch using the MGMT port.

To use the MGMT port, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a computer and the other end to the Switch. The default IP address of the MGMT port is 192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Make sure that the computer being used for the switch management has a non-conflicting IP address in the 192.168.0.0/24 network.

To view the IP settings of the MGMT port, use the following command:

Switch#show ip interface mgmt 0

mgmt_ipif 0 is enabled, Link status is up

IP address is 192.168.0.1/24

Gateway is 0.0.0.0

Switch#

The IP settings or enabled status of the MGMT port can be changed through the console port. For example, to change the IP address of the MGMT port, use the following commands:

Switch#configure terminal

Switch(config)#interface mgmt 0

Switch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

Switch(config-if)#

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Connecting using SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) protocol, designed specifically for managing and monitoring network devices. The SNMP protocol enables Network Management Station (NMS) 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 agent. SNMP defines both the format of the MIB specifications and the protocol used to access this information over the network.

The Switch supports SNMPv1, SMNPv2c, and SNMPv3. The administrator may specify which SNMP version to use to monitor and control the Switch. The three SNMP versions 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, a group of SNMP managers can be created 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 that have been allowed or restricted are defined using the Object Identifier (OID) associated with a specific MIB. An additional layer of security is available for SNMPv3 in that SNMP messages may be encrypted.

Traps

Traps are messages that are sent by an SNMP-enabled device to the NMS, and can be used to 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 a preconfigured IP address, usually an NMS. Typical traps include trap messages for Authentication Failure and Topology Change.

Management Information Base (MIB)

A 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 extended Management Information Base. The proprietary MIB may also be retrieved by specifying the MIB Object Identifier. MIB values can be either read-only or read-write.

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

NOTE: To configure the IP address of the Switch, refer to the Configuring the IP Address section.

5. Web-based Switch Configuration

Introduction Logging into the Web UI Web User Interface (Web UI)

Introduction

Most software functions of the Switch can be managed, configured, and monitored via the embedded HTML Web UI. Management can be done on the Switch from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard web browser. The web browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP or HTTPS (SSL) protocol.

The following web browsers are supported:

 Internet Explorer (version 7 and later)  Firefox  Google Chrome  Safari

Logging into the Web UI

To access the Web UI, open a standard web browser, enter the Switch’s IP address into the address bar of the browser, and press the ENTER key. By default, the MGMT port, located just above the RJ45 console port, can be accessed using the IP address of 192.168.0.1. To access the Web UI from normal LAN ports, the default IP address is

10.90.90.90.

After pressing the ENTER key, the following authentication window should appear, as shown below.

Figure 5-1 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 this switch.

DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide

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.

Alarm Connector (RJ45)

External devices can be connected to the alarm port to either trigger an alarm event or to be the recipient of an alarm event triggered by the Switch. External device connections can be paired together and connected to the alarm port using a standard RJ45 connector. As with any RJ45 connector, there are four pairs of copper wires that can be used, two pairs for external input connections like temperature sensors and two pairs for external output connections like speakers or LED lights.

Figure B-4 Alarm Connector pinout

The alarm input pin-pairs, pair1 (Din1+/Din1-) and pair2 (Din2+/Din2-), are used to send alarm signals to the CPU of the Switch. When the circuit between Din+ and Din- is shorted, an alarm signal will be sent to the CPU.

The alarm output pin-pairs, pair1 (Common1/Normal open1) and pair2 (Common2/Normal open2), are controlled by the CPU of the Switch and are used to send alarm signals to external devices. When the circuit between the Common and Normal is open, 42 VAC 50 Hz, 60 VDC, 1 A current is sent. The CPU can short this circuit when an alarm event occurs.
