used for in-band communication, and the SLIP interface used over the console port for out-of-band communication.

Each of the fields on this menu takes effect the next time the system is restarted. Fields that can be set include:

♦IP Address: determines the IP address used by the Switch for receiving SNMP and TELNET communications. Should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. This address should be a unique address on a network assigned to you by the central Internet authorities. The same IP address is shared by both the SLIP and Ethernet network interfaces.

♦Subnet Mask: bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the Switch is on. Should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. If no subnetting is being done, the value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and 255.255.255.0 for a Class C network.

♦Default Gateway: IP address that determines where frames with a destination outside the current subnet should be sent. This is usually the address of a router or a host acting as an IP gateway. If your network is not part of an internetwork, or you do not want the Switch to be accessible outside your local network, you can leave this field blank.

♦Send BOOTP Request Upon Power Up: determines whether the Switch should send out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up. The BOOTP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned on a central BOOTP server; if this option is set the Switch will first look for a BOOTP server to provide it with this information before using the supplied settings.

DES-3208 specifications

The D-Link DES-3208 is a robust and reliable Layer 2 Fast Ethernet unmanaged switch designed to enhance networking capabilities in both small and medium-sized businesses. With a compact and efficient design, the DES-3208 offers seamless connectivity for various devices, ensuring speedy data transfers and enhanced network performance.

One of the key features of the DES-3208 is its 8 Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) ports, which allow for easy expansion of network infrastructure. The switch operates on a non-blocking architecture, which means it can handle multiple data streams simultaneously without compromising performance. This is particularly beneficial in environments where high traffic and data-intensive applications are commonplace.

The DES-3208 supports auto-MDI/MDIX functionality, which eliminates the need for crossover cables as the switch automatically detects the cable type connected. This feature simplifies network setup and allows for flexible configurations, enhancing usability for IT managers and system administrators.

Power-saving technologies are also a hallmark of the D-Link DES-3208. It features innovative Green Ethernet technology that reduces power consumption by detecting inactive ports and adjusting power usage accordingly. This not only contributes to environmental initiatives but also provides cost savings on energy bills over time.

Additionally, the switch supports a variety of network protocols to ensure compatibility with different network environments. These features include IEEE 802.3x flow control, which helps prevent packet loss during data transmissions, and IEEE 802.1p prioritization, ensuring critical traffic is processed in a timely manner.

The fanless design of the DES-3208 contributes to silent operation, making it an ideal choice for office environments where minimal noise is preferred. The compact form factor further allows for easy placement either on a desk or in a rack mount.

Overall, the D-Link DES-3208 is a versatile and efficient solution for businesses seeking an unmanaged switch that balances performance, energy efficiency, and ease of use. It adeptly meets the needs of growing networks while providing essential features that promote reliability and connectivity.
