• Serial Port Baud Rate – This setting is locked down to 115220 and cannot be changed. Users connecting to the console interface of the switch must use this baud rate.

• MAC Address Aging Time (10-1000000) – This field specifies the length of time a learned MAC Address will remain in the forwarding table without being accessed (that is, how long a learned MAC Address is allowed to remain idle). The default age-out time for the switch is 300 seconds. To change this, type in a different value representing the MAC address age-out time in seconds. The MAC Address Aging Time can be set to any value between 10 and 1,000,000 seconds.

• IGMP Snooping – Select Enabled to enable this feature or Disabled to disable it using the drop-down list. Enabling IGMP snooping allows you to specify use of a multicast router only. IGMP Snooping for individual VLANs needs to be configured on the IGMP Snooping page in the IGMP folder.

• Multicast router Only – Select Enabled to support Multicast router only or Disabled to disable it using the drop-down list.

• GVRP Status – Select Enabled to enable GVRP or Disabled to disable it using the drop-down list. GVRP allows the switch to exchange VLAN configuration with other GVRP enabled switches, prune unnecessary broadcast traffic and unknown unicast traffic, and dynamically create and manage VLANs on switches connected through 802.1Q trunk ports.

• Telnet Status – Select Enabled to enabled administration of the switch via Telnet or Disabled to disable it using the drop-down list. This feature is enabled by default.

• Telnet TCP Port Number (1-65535) – Enter the port number for administering the switch via Telnet. The default port is 23.

• Web Status – This indicates if web-based administration is enabled. Web-based administration is configured on the IP Address page in the Configuration folder. The standard port used for web-based administration is 80.

• RMON Status – Select Enabled to allow Remote Monitoring (RMON) of the switch or Disabled to disable it using the drop-down list.

• Link Aggregation Algorithm – This is the algorithm that the switch uses to balance the load across the ports that make up the port trunk group. Select MAC Source, MAC Destination, MAC Src & Dest, IP Source, IP Destination or IP Src & Dest using the drop-down list.

• Switch 802.1x – Select Enabled to enable 802.1x for MAC-based or Port-based 802.1x function or Disabled to disable it using the drop-down list. This feature is disabled by default. Port-based 802.1x function will base authentication only on the port number. MAC-based 802.1x function uses the port number and specified MAC address as configured in the 802.1x Initialize Ports menu.

• Auth. Protocol – Select Local Eap or Radius Eap using the drop-down list. The default setting is Radius Eap.

• HOL Prevention – Select Enabled to enable Head of Line (HOL) Protection or Disabled to disable it using the drop-down list.

• Jumbo Frame – Select Enabled to enable support for Jumbo Frames up to 9216 bytes or Disable to disable using the drop-down list.

A: Please ensure that you are using Internet Explorer 6.0.x or higher when configuring D-Link Web Smart switches, as other browsers or earlier versions of IE may cause some minor problems. You will not be logged out of your switch when using Internet Explorer 6.0.x or higher.

Q: Why are my ping request slower when using D-Link Web SMART Switches?

A: Since the Web Smart switches are not as robust in features as fully managed switches, they have a slower CPU. Therefore, depending on what process Web Smart switch is currently running, the ping response time will be varied and longer.

Q: What is a Combo Port on an Ethernet Switch?

A: A Gigabit Ethernet Combo port is an Ethernet port and a Mini-GBIC port (also called SFP´s) that share the same switch fabric and port number. A Combo port is a way to provide different types of connectivity without taking up unused switch fabric. These Combo ports can also be labeled as tied, meaning two different physical ports that can only be used one at a time. A Gigabit Ethernet Combo port consists of one 1000Base-T Gigabit over Copper port (provided), and one Mini-GBIC port (empty port that requires Mini-GBIC module).

Q: Why can´t I share my Internet connection to multiple computers when using my D-Link switch or hub?

A: If you are connecting directly to a Cable or DSL modem, you will need a router to share your Internet connection or a computer using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) or Proxy. Switches and hubs do not allow you to share a single IP address to multiple computers.

Another alternative is to contact your ISP and purchase extra IP addresses for each additional computer.

The multi-layer chassis-based Switches were successfully trialled at the Charles Darwin School in Kent, where they were praised for their high performance, support and eco-efficiency, and are now being made available on the market.

The company says that the system is ideal for schools and educational institutions as it provides core network coverage and no downtime. The manufacturers also describe it as “affordable” and “suited to the needs of larger campus locations”.

Industry standard compliance and a flexible modular architecture means the product, which can deploy Gigabit and 10-Gigabit switching, provides scalable expansion and value for money.

D-Link has previously been praised for its green credentials, and was a Venture Green exhibitor at the HealthAchieve 2009 Conference and Exhibition.

The Networking Equipment firm’s Green Ethernet Switches, aimed at schools, also seek to help them reduce their carbon footprints.
