User Accounts Management

From the screen above, move the cursor to the User Accounts Management menu and press <Enter>, then the Users Accounts Management menu appears.

1.Choose Create/Modify User Accounts from the User Accounts Management menu and the Add/Modify User Accounts menu appears.

2.Enter the new user name, assign an initial password, and then confirm the new password. Determine whether the new user should have Administrator or Normal User privileges. (Use the space bar to toggle between the two options).

3.Press APPLY to let the user addition take effect.

4.Press <Esc> to return to the previous screen or Ctrl+T to go to the root screen.

5.To see a listing of all user accounts and access levels, press <Esc>. Then choose View/Delete User Accounts. The View/Delete User Accounts screen appears.

Administrator and Normal User Privileges

There are two levels of user privileges: Administrator and Normal User. Some menu selections available to users with Administrator privileges may not be available to Normal Users. The main menus shown are the menus for the two types of users:

Table 6-1. Administrator and Normal User Privileges

After establishing a User Account with Administrator-level privileges, press <Esc> twice. Then choose the Save Changes menu (see below). Pressing any key will return to the main menu. You are now ready to operate the Switch.

Saving Changes

The DES-3225G has two levels of memory normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM. Settings need to be changed in all screens by clicking on the Apply button. When this is done, the settings will be immediately applied to the switching software in RAM, and will immediately take effect. Some settings, though, require you to restart the switch before they will take effect. Restarting the switch will erase all settings in RAM and reload them from the NV-RAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all settings to the NV-RAM before restarting the switch.

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.
