Trunk Setting

The Trunk function enables to cascade two devices with a double times bandwidth (maximum up to 24Gbps in full duplex mode).

There are three selections in each group of trunk setting as follow:

Group 1: Selection 1(disable), Selection 2(port 1, 2), Selection 3(port 1, 2, 3, 4).

Group 2: Selection 1(disable), Selection 2(port9, 10), Selection 3(port 9, 10, 11, 12)

Group32: Selection 1(disable), Selection 2(port17, 18), Selection 3(port17, 18, 19, 20)

.

Be sure that the selected trunk setting port must connect to the device with a same VLAN group.

Mirror Setting

Port Mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming and/or outgoing packet from one port of a network switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It enables the manager to keep close track of switch performance and alter it if necessary.

Configuring the port Mirroring by assigning a source port from which to copy all packets and a sniffer port where those packets will be sent.

The selection of the sniffer mode is as follow:

RX (receive) mode: this mode will duplicate the data that send to the source and forward to the sniffer port.

DGS-1224T specifications

The D-Link DGS-1224T is a robust and versatile Ethernet switch designed for small to medium-sized businesses that require reliable network performance. With 24 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, it provides high-speed connectivity and efficient data transfer rates across the network. This Layer 2 managed switch supports a range of advanced features and technologies that enhance its operational effectiveness and usability.

One of the standout features of the DGS-1224T is its web-based management interface, which allows for easy configuration and monitoring of the switch. This interface provides access to various settings, enabling network administrators to optimize performance according to their specific needs. The switch supports Virtual LANs (VLANs), which help to segregate network traffic for improved security and performance. By creating multiple VLANs, businesses can prioritize traffic and reduce congestion, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need.

Additionally, the DGS-1224T includes Quality of Service (QoS) functionalities, which guarantee that voice and video applications maintain high quality through traffic prioritization. This is particularly important for businesses that rely on VoIP and video conferencing solutions, as it ensures minimal latency and jitter.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is another significant characteristic of the DGS-1224T. This feature enables the switch to deliver power to compatible devices, such as IP cameras and wireless access points, eliminating the need for separate power supplies and simplifying installation.

The switch also incorporates robust security features, including Access Control Lists (ACLs), which allow administrators to control which devices can access the network. Other security measures include storm control and DHCP snooping to prevent unauthorized access and potential attacks.

In terms of performance, the DGS-1224T supports up to 48 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity, which ensures that the switch can handle heavy traffic without bottlenecks. Its fanless design contributes to quieter operation and makes it suitable for noise-sensitive environments.

Overall, the D-Link DGS-1224T is an excellent choice for businesses looking for a reliable, feature-rich switching solution that can scale with their growing networking needs while ensuring high performance and security.
