Use the pull-down menu to either enable or disable the SIM state on the Switch. Dis-
abled will render all SIM functions on the Switch inoperable.
Use the pull-down menu to change the SIM role of the Switch. The two choices are:
Candidate - A Candidate Switch (CaS) is not the member of a SIM group but is
connected to a Commander Switch. This is the default setting for the SIM role of the
DGS-3224TGR.
Commander - Choosing this parameter will make the Switch a Commander Switch
(CS). The user may join other Switches to this Switch, over Ethernet, to be part of its
SIM group. Choosing this option will also enable the Switch to be configured for SIM.
The user may set the discovery protocol interval, in seconds, that the Switch will send
out discovery packets. Returning information to a Commander Switch will include
information about other Switches connected to it. (Ex. MS, CaS). The user may set
the Discovery Interval from 30 to 90 seconds.
