Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Chapter 1 Getting to Know the ES-4024 This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of the ES-4024. The ES-4024 is a stand-alone layer 3 Ethernet switch with 24 10/100Mbps ports, two GBIC slot modules and one slot for a stacking module.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch 1.1.2 Firmware Features Layer 2 Features 16K MAC address table Broadcast storm control 12.8Gbps switching fabric capacity Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1d) with rapid switch failure recognition and recovery (IEEE 802.1w) Support port-based VLAN and tag-based VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q, up to 4K VLANs)
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Security System management password protection IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Port-based VLAN IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication Static MAC address filtering Limit dynamic port MAC address learning Filtering based on source/destination IP addresses Port Trunking The ES-4024 adheres to the IEEE 802.3ad standard for static and dynamic port trunking.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch In this example, all computers connected directly or indirectly to the ES-4024 can share super high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers etc.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Figure 1-2 Bridging Application Full-duplex mode operation only applies to point-to-point access (for example, when attaching the switch to a workstation, server, or another switch). When connecting to hubs, use a standard cascaded connection set at half-duplex operation.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Figure 1-3 High Performance Switched Workgroup Application 1.2.4 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application Examples This section shows a workgroup and a shared server example using 802.1Q tagged VLANs. For more information on VLANs, see the Switch Setup section and the VLAN chapter in this User’s Guide. A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Figure 1-4 VLAN Workgroup Application VLAN Shared Server Example Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server, as shown in the following example. In this example, only ports that need access to the server need belong to VLAN 3 while they can belong to other VLAN groups too.
Hardware Installation and Connections Part II Hardware Installation and Connections This part acquaints you with installation scenarios of the ES-4024, instructs you on how to make the hardware connections including installing/removing modules, shows some stacking/uplink examples and explains the front panel LEDs.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Chapter 2 Hardware Installation This chapter shows two switch installation scenarios. 2.1 Installation Scenarios The switch can be placed on a desktop or rack-mounted on a standard EIA rack. Use the rubber feet in a desktop installation and the brackets in a rack-mounted installation.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch 2.1.2 Rack-Mounted Installation The switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your switch on a standard EIA rack using a rack-mounting kit.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Chapter 3 Hardware Connections This chapter acquaints you with the front and rear panels, shows you how to make the connections, install/remove (optional) modules and explains the LEDs. 3.1 Front Panel The following figure shows the front panel of the ES-4024. The front panel contains a console port for local switch management, switch LEDs, 24 RJ-45 Ethernet ports and two GBIC (3.3V) slots for uplink modules.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch When auto-negotiation is turned on, an Ethernet port on the ES-4024 negotiates with the peer automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer Ethernet port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the ES-4024 determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch 3.4 Front Panel LEDs After you connect the power to the switch, view the LEDs to ensure proper functioning of the switch and as an aid in troubleshooting. The front panel LEDs are as follows. Figure 3-3 Front Panel LEDs The following table describes the LED indicators on the front panel of the ES-4024.

Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Chapter 10 Spanning Tree Protocol This chapter introduces the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). 10.1 Introduction to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a switch to interact with other STP-compliant switches in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Once a stable network topology has been established, all bridges listen for Hello BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data Units) transmitted from the root bridge. If a bridge does not get a Hello BPDU after a predefined interval (Max Age), the bridge assumes that the link to the root bridge is down.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Table 10-3 Spanning Tree Protocol: Status LABEL DESCRIPTION Spanning Tree Protocol This field displays Running if STP is activated. Otherwise, it displays Down. Bridge Root refers to the base of the spanning tree (the root bridge). Our Bridge is this switch.

Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Chapter 14 Trunking This chapter shows you how to logically aggregate physical links to form one logical, higher-bandwidth link. 14.1 Introduction to Trunking Trunking (link aggregation) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch All ports in the same trunk group must have the same media type, speed, duplex mode and flow control settings. Configure trunk groups or LACP before you connect the Ethernet switch to avoid causing network topology loops.

Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Chapter 24 IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN This chapter describes the IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN and associated commands. Use the “config save” command to save configuration changes. 24.1 IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN Overview See the VLAN chapter for more information on VLANs. There are two kinds of tagging: 1.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch The following procedure shows you how to configure tagged VLAN. Use the IEEE 802.1Q tagged VLAN commands to configure tagged VLAN for the switch. Step 1. • Use the command to configure a VLAN ID for each port on the sys sw vlan1q svlan setentry switch.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch This command sets the switch’s GARP timer settings, including the join, leave and leave all timers. Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a Join message using GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message. A Leave All message terminates all registrations. GARP timers set declaration timeout values.

Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch Untagged Frames An untagged frame comes in from the LAN. Step 1. The switch checks the PVID table and assigns a temporary VID of 1. Step 2. The switch ignores the port from which the frame came, because the switch does not send a frame to the Step 3.
Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch An example is shown next. For the section of the last column, “-“ is a port set to normal, “x” is a forbidden port and “F” is a fixed port. AdCtl For the section of the last column, “T“ is a tagged port, “U” is an untagged port.
