Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it.
Page 17: Installing Modules
Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Installing Modules The DES-6000 supports up to 9 modules which can be installed into the module bays. Networking modules are warm-swappable, meaning they can be added and removed while power to the switch is ON. After warm- swapping a networking module, the switch will automatically be rebooted.
Page 18: Connecting A Terminal
Power up the DES-6000 as follows: 1. Make sure the power module is properly installed in the device. 2. Plug the device end of the supplied power cord firmly into the power inlet on the DES-6000’s front panel of the redundant power supply.

Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide WITCH ANAGEMENT ONCEPTS This chapter discusses many of the features used to manage the switch, and explains many concepts and important points regarding these features. Configuring the Switch to implement these concepts is discussed in detail in the next chapters.
Page 29: Ip Addresses And Snmp Community Names
Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide IP Addresses and SNMP Community Names Each Switch has its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP, etc.). You must provide the switch with an IP Address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
Page 30: Mibs
Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide ♦ Link Change Event This trap is sent whenever the link of a port changes from link up to link down or from link down to link up. ♦ Port Partition This trap is sent whenever a port is partitioned as a result of more than sixty-two collisions on the port (i.e., is automatically partitioned).
Page 31: Packet Forwarding
Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Packet Forwarding The Switch learns the network configuration and uses this information to forward packets. This reduces the traffic congestion on the network, because packets, instead of being transmitted to all segments, are transmitted to the destination only. Example: if Port 1 receives a packet destined for a station on Port 2, the Switch transmits that packet through Port 2 only, and transmits nothing through the other ports.
Page 32: Sta Operation Levels
Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide complicated and complex subject and must be fully researched and understood. Please read the following before making any changes. ♦ Network loop detection and prevention With STA, there will be only one path between any two LANs.

Page 35: Port Trunking
Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Port Trunking Port trunking is used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data pipeline. The participating parts are called members of a trunk group, with one port designated as the anchor of the group.
Page 36: Mac-Based Broadcast Domains
Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide MAC-based Broadcast Domains The Switch supports up to 12 MAC-based broadcast domains, which are by their nature, limited to the switch itself and the devices connected directly to it. Since MAC addresses are hard-wired into a station’s network interface card (NIC), MAC-based broadcast domains enable network managers to move a station to a different physical location on the network and have that station automatically retain its broadcast domain membership.
Page 37: Sharing Resources Across 802.1Q Vlans
Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Sharing Resources Across 802.1Q VLANs Network resources such as printers and servers however, can be shared across 802.1Q VLANs. This is achieved by setting up overlapping VLANs as shown in the diagram below. Figure 5-3. Example of typical VLAN configuration In the above example, there are three different 802.1Q VLANs and each port can transmit packets on one of them according to their Port VLAN ID (PVID).
Page 38 Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide ♦ Tagging The act of putting 802.1Q VLAN information into the header of a packet. Tagging ports will put the VID number, priority, and other VLAN information into all packets that flow into and out it. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port will not alter the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact.
Page 39: Port-Based Vlans
Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 5-4. Data transmissions between 802.1Q-compliant switches In the above example, step 4 is the key element. Because the packet has 802.1Q VLAN data encoded in its header, the ingress port can make VLAN-based decisions about its delivery: whether server #2 is attached to a port that is a member of VLAN 2 and thus, should the packet be delivered;...
Page 40: Broadcast Storms
In the DES-6000 switch, the default rising threshold is met when more than 500 broadcast packets per second are being detected on a specified port. Once the rising threshold is surpassed for a duration of more than 5 seconds, it will trigger the broadcast storm rising action configured by the user.
Page 41: Using The Console Interface
Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide SING THE ONSOLE NTERFACE Your Modular Ethernet Switch supports a console management interface that allows you to set up and control your Switch, either with an ordinary terminal (or terminal emulator), or over the network using the TCP/IP Telnet protocol.
Page 42: Connecting To The Switch Using Telnet
Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 6-1. Example of a console connection Connecting to the Switch Using Telnet Once you have set an IP address for your Switch, you can use a Telnet program (in a VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to access and control the Switch. Most of the screens are identical, whether accessed from the console port or from a Telnet interface.
