  • Page 18: Preface

    Dimension ES-3124 Ethernet Switch Preface Congratulations on your purchase from the Dimension series of Ethernet switches. This preface introduces you to the ES-3124 and discusses the conventions of this User’s Guide. It also provides information on other related documentation. About the ES-3124 The ES-3124 Ethernet switch is a managed switch with features ideally suited in any environment with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring.

  • Page 19: User Guide Feedback

    Dimension ES-3124 Ethernet Switch Naming Conventions • The ES-3124 Ethernet Switch may be referred to as the ES-3124, the switch or, simply, as the device. • This user’s guide refers an Ethernet device as a switch in general for feature background information.

  • Page 21: Features And Applications

    Features and Applications Part I Features and Applications This part acquaints you with the features and applications of the ES-3124.

  • Page 23: Getting To Know The Es-3124

    This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of the ES-3124. The ES-3124 is a stand-alone layer 2 Ethernet switch with 24 10/100Mbps ports, two RJ-45 Gigabit (1Gbps or 1000Mbps)/mini GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) combo ports for uplink, two RJ-45 Gigabit ports for stacking and a console port and a management port for local management.

  • Page 24: Firmware Features

    Dimension ES-3124 Ethernet Switch Console Port Use the console port for local management of the switch. Fans The fans cool the ES-3124 sufficiently to allow reliable operation of the switch in even poorly ventilated rooms or basements. 1.1.2 Firmware Features...

  • Page 25: Applications

    The ES-3124 supports rate limiting in 1Mbps increments allowing you to create different service plans. The ES-3124 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.

  • Page 26: Bridging Example

    You can provide a super- fast uplink connection by using an uplink port on the ES-3124. Moreover, the switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize multiple servers at a single location.

  • Page 27: High Performance Switched Workgroup Example

    Ethernet cables and adapter cards, restructuring your network and complex maintenance. The ES-3124 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.

  • Page 28: Figure 1-4 Vlan Workgroup Application

    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. Figure 1-5 Shared Server Using VLAN Example Getting to Know the ES-3124...
  • Page 29 Hardware Installation & Connections Part II Hardware Installation & Connections This part acquaints you with installation scenarios of the ES-3124, instructs you on how to make the hardware connections, shows some stacking/uplink examples and explains the front panel LEDs.

  • Page 31: Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

    Dimension ES-3124 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.

  • Page 32: Rack-Mounted Installation

    Dimension ES-3124 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.

  • Page 33: Chapter 3 Hardware Connections

    3.2 Front Panel The following figure shows the front panel of the ES-3124. The front panel contains switch LEDs, 24 RJ-45 Ethernet ports, four RJ-45 Gigabit ports, 2 mini GBIC ports, and a console port and a management port for local switch management.

  • Page 34: Console Port

    No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit No flow control Connect the male 9-pin end of the console cable to the console port of the ES-3124 switch. Connect the female end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your computer.

  • Page 35: Mini Gbic Slots

    These are slots for mini GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceivers. A transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. The ES-3124 does not come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.

  • Page 36: Figure 3-2 Transceiver Installation Example

    Dimension ES-3124 Ethernet Switch Figure 3-2 Transceiver Installation Example Figure 3-3 Installed Transceiver Transceiver Removal Use the following steps to remove a mini GBIC transceiver (SFP module). Open the transceiver’s latch (latch styles vary). Pull the transceiver out of the slot.

  • Page 37: Management Port

    The default IP address of the management port is 192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 3.3 Rear Panel The following figure shows the rear panel of the ES-3124. The rear panel contains the ventilation holes, a connector for external backup power supply (BPS) and the power receptacle.

  • Page 38: Power Connector

    Make sure you are using the correct power source as shown on the panel. To connect the power to the ES-3124, insert the female end of power cord to the power receptacle on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the supplied power cord to a 100~240VAC/1.5A power outlet. Make sure that no objects obstruct the airflow of the fans (located on the side of the unit).

    Dimension ES-3124 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.
