24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

Traffic in Frames:

Frames Sent Counts the total number of frames transmitted from the port.

Frames Received Counts all valid frames received on the port.

Total Frames Received Counts the number of frames received on the port, whether they were valid or not.

Errors

Figure 7-32. Port Statistics - Errors window

The information is described as follows:

Update Interval Choose the desired setting: 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds or Suspend.

Link (Speed/Duplex/Flow Control) Indicates the current link status.

Other errors:

CRC Error Counts otherwise valid frames that did not end on a byte (octet) boundary.

Oversize Frames Counts packets received that were longer than 1536 octets (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and were otherwise well formed.

Fragments The number of packets less than 64 bytes with either bad framing or an invalid CRC. These are normally the result of collisions.

Jabber The number of frames with length more than 1536 bytes and with CRC error or misalignment (bad framing).

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.
