Figure 6-26. IEEE 802.1Q IGMP Configuration screen

Items in the above screen are defined as follows:

VLAN ID This is the VID number for the VLAN that has an agent attached to it which enables IGMP packets to be sent and received.

Age-out Timer If no IGMP query packet has arrived at the Switch before this timer has expired, the Switch will become the IGMP host for this VLAN.

IGMP Status Activates/deactivates the agent on this VLAN.

Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains

If you are unsure about your knowledge of VLANs and broadcast domains, please review the VLANs and Broadcast Domains section in the “Switch Management Concepts” chapter of this manual before configuring the switch.

The VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration menu displays the status of the current VLAN mode and allows a user to restart the Switch in a particular VLAN mode – Port-Based VLANs, IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, or MAC-based Broadcast Domains – or to choose None. There are four different versions of the VLANs & MAC- based Broadcast Domains Configuration menu, depending on which of the options you select under the Restart Mode (three of the four are displayed and explained below—the menu for None is omitted as it does not contain additional menu items at the bottom of the screen). Please note that the Switch can only support a single type of mode at any given time.

To view the VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration menu for MAC-based Broadcast Domains:

1. Choose Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains on the Configuration menu.

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.
