Configure VLANs & MAC-based Domains

Figure 7-18. Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains window

To configure VLANs and MAC-based Broadcast Domains, select MAC-based Broadcast Domains, IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, or Port-based VLAN under Restart Mode--otherwise, leave the setting at None. Then specify the VLAN ID number in the Management Vid (1.. 4094) field and click Apply.

The information above is described as follows:

Restart Mode Choose from four settings for this mode: MAC-based Broadcast Domains, Port-based VLAN, IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, or None.

Management Vid (1..4094) When IEEE 802.1Q VLANs or Port-based VLAN are enabled, this is the VLAN that will be used for management packets. Make sure the switch port that the management station is connected to has this PVID number and is a member of this 802.1Q VLAN (VID). This should be the first VLAN you create, otherwise, you may not be able to communicate with the Switch except through the console port.

DES-3225G specifications

The D-Link DES-3225GF and DES-3225G are both robust Ethernet switches designed to meet the networking needs of small to medium-sized enterprises and organizations. These devices are part of D-Link's comprehensive range of unmanaged layer 2 switches, known for their reliability and ease of use.

The DES-3225GF features a total of 25 Ethernet ports, including 24 10/100Base-TX ports and 1 Gigabit SFP slot, while the DES-3225G also comes with 25 ports but includes 24 10/100/1000 Mbps copper ports. Both models support Auto-MDI/MDI-X for seamless connection setup without the need for crossover cables, simplifying the deployment process.

One of the standout features of these switches is their wire-speed performance that enables high-speed data transfers and efficient traffic management. Each port is designed to provide non-blocking switching, which ensures that the bandwidth is fully utilized without any packet loss. The switches support IEEE 802.3x flow control, which helps to manage data flow and prevent overflow during heavy traffic periods.

The DES-3225GF and DES-3225G offer users a simple yet efficient way to expand their network. With a plug-and-play design, they require minimal configuration, allowing for quick integration into existing network infrastructures. These switches are equipped with a durable chassis, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of a busy IT environment.

Both models boast energy-efficient technologies that comply with IEEE 802.3az, which helps in reducing power consumption during periods of inactivity. By detecting link status and adjusting power accordingly, these switches contribute to a more sustainable networking solution.

In terms of form factor, the DES-3225GF and DES-3225G are rack-mounted, making them suitable for integration into standard network cabinets. This design ensures that the devices can be efficiently managed alongside other network equipment.

For management and security, the switches support features such as VLAN tagging and port security, allowing network administrators to segment traffic and protect the network from unauthorized access. With their sturdy build, innovative features, and straightforward implementation, the D-Link DES-3225GF and DES-3225G are ideal choices for organizations looking to enhance their network performance while keeping costs manageable.
