The ES-3024 supports rate limiting in 1Kbps increments allowing you to create different service plans The ES-3024 supports IGMP snooping enabling group multicast traffic to be only forwarded to ports that are members of that group; thus allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your switch.
You can provide a super- fast uplink connection by selecting from an array of uplink modules compatible with the ES-3024. Moreover, the switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize multiple servers at a single location.
Ethernet cables and adapter cards, restructuring your network and complex maintenance. The ES-3024 can provide the same bandwidth as FDDI and ATM at much lower cost while still being able to use existing adapters and switches. Moreover, the current LAN structure can be retained as all ports can freely communicate with each other.
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same broadcast domain thus increase network performance through reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding, moving or changing ports without any re-cabling. Getting to Know the ES-3024...
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. Getting to Know the ES-3024...

Dimension ES-3024 Ethernet Switch 7.3 Introduction to Port-based VLANs Port-based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address and its associated port. Port-based VLANs require allowed outgoing ports to be defined for each port. Therefore, if you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, for example, between conference rooms in a hotel, you must define the egress (an egress port is an outgoing port, that is, a port through which a data packet leaves) for both ports.

Dimension ES-3024 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-3024 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.

Dimension ES-3024 Ethernet Switch Chapter 17 Access Control This chapter describes how to control access to the switch. 17.1 About Access Control Click Access Control from the navigation panel to display the screen as shown. From this screen you can configure SNMP, up to four web configurator administrators, enable/disable remote service access and configure trusted computers for remote access.
An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and a manager. An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed switch (the ES-3024).
