DES-3326 Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

 

 

 

apply when the port is used for the

 

 

 

console port. Available speeds are 2400,

 

 

 

9600, 19200 and 38400 bits per second.

 

 

 

The default setting is 9600.

 

Interface Name

 

This allows for the naming of the SLIP

 

 

 

interface for easy reference.

 

Local IP Address

This is an IP address assigned to the

 

 

 

serial port when it is used for SLIP

 

 

 

communications.

 

Remote

IP

This is the IP address of the

 

Address

 

management station that will use the

 

 

 

SLIP protocol to communicate with the

 

 

 

switch.

 

MTU

 

Maximum Transfer Unit – this specifies

 

 

 

the maximum packet size in bytes. Can

 

 

 

be toggled between 1006 and 1500.

 

 

 

 

 

Switch Operation Mode

Putting the switch in IP Routing mode does not – by itself – enable IP routing. The switch must be configured to use IP interfaces before it is capable of IP routing.

The switch can operate in one of two modes:

1.Layer 2 Only, Support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs. The switching process is based upon the source and destination MAC addresses only. 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the switch is considered as a VLAN-tag aware device.

2.IP Routing, Support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs. The switching process is based upon the IP source and destination addresses, if present. If the IP addresses are not present, the switching process is based upon the MAC addresses (as in Layer 2 above). 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the switch is considered as a VLAN-tag aware device.

The switch must be rebooted when changing the operation mode before the new mode can take effect.

Changing the Switch Operation Mode

To change the switch’s operating mode:

Highlight Switch Settings on the Main Menu and press Enter.
