10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

Previously made modifications should be noticed the next time upon entering the Port Configuration menu.

You can use the PREPORT and NEXTPORT commands to view and modify the previous port and next port, respectively, as you wish.

Switch Monitoring

The Switch allows you to keep statistics on the operation of each port. The statistics obtained can be used to monitor the conditions and general efficiency of the Switch.

Displaying Port Statistics

The display permits you to observe the condition of each individual port.

To display Statistic Counters:

1.Choose Statistic Counters from the main menu.

2.Enter the desired port in the Port(1-8)field.

3.Choose EXIT to leave the Statistic Counters menu.

Use the PREPORT and NEXTPORT command to observe conditions on the previous port and next port, respectively. The CLEAR COUNTER command clears all counters on the current port to zero. This command, however, does not terminate or reset the statistic counters on the other ports, only the currently displayed port.

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.
