Congratulations on your purchase from the Dimension series of Ethernet switches.
This preface introduces you to the ES-3024 and discusses the conventions of this User’s Guide. It also provides
information on other related documentation.
About the ES-3024
There are two ES-3024 models. The ES-3024 DC model requires DC power supply input of -48 VDC to -60 VDC,
1.84A Max. The ES-3024 AC model requires 100~240VAC/1.5A power.
All figures in this guide display the ES-3024 AC model unless specifically noted otherwise.
The ES-3024 Ethernet switch is a managed switch with features ideally suited in any environment with unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) wiring. It can deliver broadband IP services to:
Public facilities (convention centers, airports, plazas, train stations, etc.)
Enterprises.
It can also be deployed as a mini-POP (point-of-presence) in a building basement delivering 10/100Mbps data
service over Category 5 wiring to each customer.
General Syntax Conventions
This guide shows you how to configure the switch using the web configurator and CLI commands. See the
online HTML help for information on individual web configurator screens.
Mouse action sequences are denoted using a comma. For example, click Start, Settings, Control Panel,
Network means first you click Start, click or move the mouse pointer over Settings, then click or move the mouse pointer over Control Panel and finally click (or double-click) Network.
“Enter” means for you to type one or more characters. “Select” or “Choose” means for you to use one of
the predefined choices.
Predefined choices are in Bold Arial font.
Button and field labels, links and screen names in are in Bold Times New Roman font.
For brevity’s sake, we will use “e.g.” as shorthand for “for instance”, and “i.e.” as shorthand for “that is” or
“in other words” throughout this manual.

This part acquaints you with the features and applications of the ES-3024.

Dimension ES-3024 Ethernet Switch
Chapter 1
Getting
This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of the ES-3024.
The ES-3024 is a stand-alone Ethernet switch with 24 10/100Mbps ports, two slots for electrical or optical uplink
modules and one slot for a stacking module.
With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the switch is easy. From cabinet management to portlevel control and monitoring, you can visually configure and manage your network via the web browser. Just click
your mouse instead of typing cryptic command strings. In addition, the switch can also be managed via Telnet, the
console port, or third-party SNMP management.
to Know the ES-3024
1.1 Features
The next two sections describe the hardware and firmware features of the ES-3024.
1.1.1 Hardware Features
Power
The ES-3024 DC model requires DC power supply input of -48 VDC to -60 VDC, 1.84A Max. The ES-3024 AC
model requires 100~240VAC/1.5A power.
24 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Ports
Connect up to 24 computers or switches to the 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating, automatic cable sensing (auto-MDIX)
Ethernet RJ-45 ports. All Ethernet ports support:
IEEE 802.3/3u/3z/3ab standards
Back pressure flow control in half duplex mode
IEEE 802.3x flow control in full duplex mode
Two Slots for Uplink Modules
The modules allow the ES-3024 to connect to another WAN switch or daisy-chain to other switches.
One Slot for Stacking Module
Up to eight switches may be stacked using stacking modules.
Console Port
Use the console port for local management of the switch.
Fans
The fans cool the ES-3024 sufficiently to allow reliable operation of the switch in even poorly ventilated rooms or
basements.

1-2 Getting to Know the ES-3024
Dimension ES-3024 Ethernet Switch
Bandwidth Control
The ES-3024 supports rate limiting in 1Kbps increments allowing you to create different service plans
The ES-3024 supports IGMP snooping enabling group multicast traffic to be only forwarded to ports that
are members of that group; thus allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your
switch.
Broadcast storm control
Quality of Service
Four priority queues so you can ensure mission-critical data gets delivered on time.
Follows the IEEE 802.1p priority setting standard based on source/destination MAC addresses.
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) / RSTP (Rapid STP)
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows
a switch to interact with other (R)STP -compliant switches in your network to ensure that only one path exists
between any two stations on the network.
Cluster Management
Cluster Management allows you to manage switches through one switch, called the cluster manager. The switches
must be directly connected and be in the same VLAN group so as to be able to communicate with one another.
1.2 Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the ES-3024 in various network environments.
1.2.1 Backbone Application
In this application, the switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the
near future.
The switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers directly to the
switch’s port or connect other switches to the ES-3024.
In this example, all computers connected directly or indirectly to the ES-3024 can share super high-speed
applications on the Gigabit server.
To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, firewalls, print servers etc.
Getting to Know the ES-3024 1-3
Dimension ES-3024 Ethernet Switch
Figure 1-1 Backbone Application
1.2.2 Bridging Example
In this example application the switch is the ideal solution for different company departments to connect to the
corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All users
that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via the switch. You can provide a superfast uplink connection by selecting from an array of uplink modules compatible with the ES-3024.
Moreover, the switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize multiple
servers at a single location.
1-4 Getting to Know the ES-3024
Dimension ES-3024 Ethernet Switch
Figure 1-2 Bridging Application
Full-duplex mode operation only applies to point-to-point access (for example, when attaching
the switch to a workstation, server, or another switch). When connecting to hubs, use a standard
cascaded connection set at half-duplex operation.
1.2.3 High Performance Switched Workgroup Example
The switch is ideal for connecting two power workgroups that need high bandwidth. In the following example, use
trunking to connect these two power workgroups.
Switching to higher-speed LANs such as FDDI or ATM is not feasible for most people due to the expense of
replacing all existing Ethernet cables and adapter cards, restructuring your network and complex maintenance.
The ES-3024 can provide the same bandwidth as FDDI and ATM at much lower cost while still being able to use
existing adapters and switches. Moreover, the current LAN structure can be retained as all ports can freely
communicate with each other.

Figure 1-3 High Performance Switched Workgroup Application
1.2.4 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application Examples
This section shows a workgroup and a shared server example using 802.1Q tagged VLANs. For more information
on VLANs, see the Switch Setup and VLAN Setup chapters in this User’s Guide. A VLAN (Virtual Local Area
Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks. Stations on a logical network
belong to one group. A station can belong to more than one group. With VLAN, a station cannot directly talk to or
hear from stations that are not in the same group(s) unless such traffic first goes through a router.
Tag-based VLAN Workgroup Example
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same broadcast domain thus increase network performance through
reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding, moving or changing ports without
any re-cabling.

Figure 1-4VLAN Workgroup Application
VLAN Shared Server Example
Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server, as shown in the
following example. In this example, only ports that need access to the server need belong to VLAN 3 while they
can belong to other VLAN groups too.
