D-Link DES-3326 manual Local IP Address, Remote IP Address, 204

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

	the Switch is restarted. Applies only
	when the serial port is being used for
	out-of-band (SLIP) management; it
	does not apply when the port is used
	for the console port. Available speeds
	are 2,400, 9600, 19,200 and 38,400
	bits per second. The default setting
	is 9600.
Local IP Address	This is an IP address assigned to the
	serial port when it is used for SLIP
	communications.
Remote IP Address	This is the IP address of the
	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:

On the Configuration menu, select the Switch Settings link, and then click Switch Operation Mode:
