DES-1210G Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet Switch User’s Guide BOUT UIDE This User’s guide tells you how to install the DES-1210G, how to connect it to an Ethernet network, and how to set the configuration using the built-in console interface. Conventions For simplicity, this documentation uses the terms “Switch” (first letter upper case) to refer to the DES-1210G Ethernet Switch, and “switch”...
DES-1210G Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet Switch User’s Guide NTRODUCTION This section describes the features of the Switch, as well as giving some background information about Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks.
DES-1210G 10/100/1000 Mbps Stand-alone Switch General Description of Switch The DES-1210G Switch module is equipped with eight ports providing dedicated 10 or 100 Mbps bandwidth. These ports can be used for connecting PCs, servers, and hubs. The eight dual speed ports use standard twisted pair cabling and are ideal for segmenting networks into small, connected subnets.

Setup The site where you install the DES-1210G Switch may greatly affect its performance. Please follow these guidelines for setting up the switch.
Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the switch and any other objects in the vicinity. Figure 2-1 DES-1210G Switch installed on a Desktop or Shelf Rack Installation The Switch can be mounted in a standard 19”...

DES-1210G Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet Switch User’s Guide DENTIFYING XTERNAL OMPONENTS This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, and LED indicators of the DES- 1210G. Front Panel The front panel of the Switch consists of LED indicators for power and for each port, an RS-232 communication port, eight 10/100 Mbps twisted-pair ports and two 1000BASE- SX fiber optic ports.
DES-1210G Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Rear Panel The rear panel contains the AC power connector. The AC power connector is a standard three- pronged connector that supports the power cord. Plug-in the female connector of the provided power cord into this socket, and the male side of the cord into a power outlet. Supported input voltages range from 100 ~ 240 VAC at 50 ~ 60 Hz.
(be sure to use Category 5 UTP or STP cabling for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet connections). The end node should be connected to any of the eight ports (1x - 8x) of the DES-1210G. Port 1x is an uplink port if the MDI-X/MDI-II button is pushed in. An end node should not be connected to the uplink port unless using a crossover cable.
DES-1210G Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Switch to Hub or Switch These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways. The most important consideration is that when using a normal, straight-through cable, the connection should be made between a normal crossed port (Port 1x, 2x, 3x, etc.) and an uplink (port 1x in MDI-II mode) port.
DES-1210G Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Connecting to Network Backbone or Server The 1000BASE-SX fiber optic ports 9 and 10 are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone or network server via 1000BASE-SX fiber optic cable. These ports operate at 1000 Mbps in full- duplex mode only.
Configuring the Switch is discussed in detail. Local Console Management Local console management involves the administration of the DES-1210G Switch via a direct connection to the RS-232 DCE console port. This is an Out-Of-Band connection, meaning that it is on a different circuit than normal network communications, and thus works even when the network is down.
DES-1210G Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 5-1. Management Console Screen Once you have connected to the console port on the switch, you should see a window like that pictured in Figure 5-1. If the screen appears but is blank, press “Control” and “R” (Ctrl+R) simultaneously to refresh the screen.
DES-1210G Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Software Features The device provides the ability to configure the port speed, flow control, link aggregation, port monitor, 802.1p priority queues, and VLAN group. Port Speed You can select the desired Speed and Duplex for each port. Possible settings include: Auto, 10F, 10H, 100F, 100H and 1000F for the two 1000BASE-SX ports, where the number 10, 100, or 1000 is the speed in Mbps, and the H or F designates half-duplex or full-duplex.
DES-1210G Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 5-2 Example of Priority Queue Assignments VLAN Group Up to 9 port-based virtual LAN (VLAN) groups can be designated for the switch. Individual ports can exist in two or more VLANs simultaneously, so VLAN groups can overlap or intersect. For a more detailed discussion of VLANs , see Chapter 6.
Port trunk groups are used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high- bandwidth data pipeline. The DES-1210G supports 3 trunk groups, which may include from 2 to 4 switch ports in Trunk Group 1. With 4 ports in this group a potential bit rate of 800 Mbps can be achieved.
The DES-1210G gives you the ability to further tailor how priority tagged data packets are handled on your network. Using queues to manage priority tagged data allows you to specify its relative priority to suit the needs of your network.
DES-1210G Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Port-based VLANs The DES-1210G supports up to 9 port-based VLANs. Port-based VLANs limit traffic that flows into and out of switch ports. Thus, all devices connected to a port are members of the VLAN(s) the port belongs to, whether there is a single computer directly connected to a switch, or an entire department.
