Figure 6-53. SNMP Manager Configuration screen

The following SNMP Manager and Trap Manager Configuration parameters can be set:

SNMP Community String The community string that will be included on SNMP packets sent to and from the switch. Any station not privy to this community will not receive the packet.

Access Right Allows each community to be separately set to either Read Only, meaning that the community member can only view switch settings or Read/Write, which allows the member to change settings in the switch.

Status Determines whether this community name entry is Valid or Invalid. An entry can be disabled by changing its status to Invalid.

IP Address The IP address of the network management station to receive traps.

Switch Monitoring

The Switch uses an SNMP agent which monitors different aspects of network traffic. The SNMP agent keeps counters and statistics on the operation of the Switch itself, and on each port on the Switch. The statistics obtained can be used to monitor the conditions and general efficiency of the Switch.

Network Monitoring

The Network Monitoring menu offers six items, Traffic Statistics, Browse Address Table, Browse IGMP Status, Browse GVRP Status, Browse GMRP Status, and Switch History.

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.
