24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

The fields you can set are:

Action Select the desired action by toggling between Add and Remove.

MAC Address The MAC address of the VLAN member being added or removed.

Please note that the Status field for the MAC address you have entered may read Not-Apply. Once the switch is restarted in MAC-based VLAN mode, the MAC-addresses will be applied, meaning that the VLAN is active.

Current MAC-based VLAN, MAC address members of the VLAN, MAC Address (in the lower part of the screen), and Status reflect the current conditions. They are read-only

If you are unsure of your knowledge of port-based VLANs or IEEE 802.1Q tagging, we highly recommend reviewing the VLAN section of the Switch Management Concepts chapter in this manual before proceeding.

To configure an IEEE 802.1Q port-based VLAN , you must do three things:

1.Decide if you want to enable Ingress Filtering and enable it on the chosen ports. Ingress filtering applied on a port causes the port to examine all incoming packets and check whether the port itself is a member of the VLAN. This is normally used to keep untagged frames off the switch, although it can have other uses as well. This setting is configurable for each port in the Configure Port Ingress Filter screen.

DES-3225G, DES-3225GF 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.
