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
and they are described below.
The Command Line Interface (CLI) through the Serial Port or remote Telnet
This switch can be managed, out-of-band, by using the console 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 this switch. The command line interface provides complete access to all switch management
features.
SNMP-based Management
The switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The switch supports SNMP
version 1.0, version 2.0 and version 3.0. 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-based Management Interface
After successfully installing the switch, the user can configure the switch, monitor the LED panel, and
display statistics graphically using a Web browser, such as Microsoft
later), Mozilla Firefox (version 3 and later), Safari (version 5 a nd later) , Google Chrome (version 5 and
later), Opera (version 12 and later), or Netscape (version 8 and later).

Parameter Description
1000M Slave, 10G, 10G Master, 10G Slave, and 40G.
The Master setting will allow the port to advertise capabilities related
to duplex, speed and physical layer type. The master setting will also
determine the master and slave relationship between the two
connected physical layers. This relationship is necessary for
establishing the timing control between the two physical layers. The
timing control is set on a master physica l layer by a local sourc e.
The Slave setting uses loop timing, where the timing comes from a
data stream received from the master. If one connection is set for
master, the other side of the connection must be set for slave. Any
other configuration will result in a link down status for both ports.

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.
Select the application that will be configured here. Options to choose
from are Console, Telnet and SSH.
Select the password encryption type that will be used here. Options to

Enter the password for the selected application here. This password
will be used when the Login Method for the specified application is set

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
33
Page 45
DXS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed 10Gigabit Ethernet Switch Web UI Reference Guide
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 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 SNMP v.1 and v.2, 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 SNMP v.1 and v.2 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 layer of security is available
for SNMPv3 in that SNMP messages may be encrypted. To read more about how to configure SNMPv3
settings for the Switch read the next section.
Traps
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\Multicast 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 extended Management
Information Base. Specifying 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 SNMP V3 menus to select the SNMP version used for specific tasks.
The Switch supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) versions 1, 2c, and 3. The
administrator can specify the SNMP version used to monitor and control the Switch. The three versions
of SNMP vary in the level of security provided between the management station and the network device.

packets are formed with an incorrect community string. For SNMPv3,
authentication failure occurs if packets are formed with an incorrect
SHA/MD5 authentication key.

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 returns a response to the client,
containing the previously mentioned IP information that the DHCP client then utilizes and sets on its local
configurations.
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 s er ver or t he I P a dd r es s of the default route)
to another device on the network.
Enter the DHCP option number. The range is from 1 to 255.
box not to match the remaining bits of the option.
Enter the hex bit mask for masking of the pattern. The masked pattern
bits will be matched. If not specified, all bits entered in Hex will be
checked.
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.

Parameter Description
DNS
Auto Configuration State
Click the Apply button to accept the changes made.
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.
Select this option to enable or disable the auto-configuration function.
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 c omplete name translation. T he c lient 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 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.

The switch supports stack ing 4 switc hes tog ether w hile bei ng m anaged b y one IP address through T elnet ,
the Web User Interface, the RJ45 console port or through SNMP. This cost effective switch provides an
affordable solution for administrators to upgrade their networks using either the DXS-3600-EM-Stack or
the DXS-3600-EM-4QXS modules 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 obvious ly be aff ec ted.
73
Page 85
DXS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed 10Gigabit Ethernet Switch Web UI Reference Guide
• 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 c an s t ill b e tr ans f err ed thr ou gh the s ta ck ing c ab les between switches in th e s tac k .
Figure 4-61 Switches stacked in a Duplex Chain
Figure 4-62 Switches stacked in a Duplex Ring
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. This switch will also assign Stack Unit IDs,
synchronize configurations and transmit commands to remaining switches in the switch stack. The
Primary Master can be manually set by assigning 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 right on the front panel of the switch where this LED will flash
between its given Box ID and ‘H’.
74
Page 86
DXS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed 10Gigabit Ethernet Switch Web UI Reference Guide
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 right 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 discov er the t ype 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 switch 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 t wo stack s 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.
75
Page 87
DXS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed 10Gigabit Ethernet Switch Web UI Reference Guide
must reconfigure Box IDs and reboot the stack.
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 dynamically learned databases, such as ARP, will be cleared as
well. The new Primary Master will inherit 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

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:
• 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 topology options when using other stacking 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.
77
Page 89
DXS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed 10Gigabit Ethernet Switch Web UI Reference Guide
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 SIM group but is not yet a member
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.

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 DXS-3600 Series 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 switc h uplo ad and do wnl oads f or firmware, configuration files and log files, as
follows:
• Firmware - The switch now supports MS firmware downloads from a TFTP server.
• Configu ration Files - This switch now supports downloading and uploading of configuration files
both to (for configurati on r e st oratio n) and f rom (f or configuration backup) MS’s, using a TFTP server.
• Log - The Switch now supports uploading MS log files to a TFTP server.
