Single IP Management

Simply put, D-Link Single IP Management is a concept that will stack switches together over Ethernet instead of
using stacking ports or modules. There are some advantages in implementing the "Single IP Management" feature:
1. SIM can simplify management of small workgroups or wiring closets while scaling the network to handle
increased bandwidth demand.
2. SIM can reduce the number of IP address needed in your network.
3. SIM can eliminate any specialized cables for stacking connectivity and remove the distance barriers that
typically limit your topology options when using other stacking technology.
Switches using D-Link Single IP Management (labeled here as SIM) must conform to the following rules:
•
SIM is an optional feature on the Switch and can easily be enabled or disabled through the Command Line
Interface or Web Interface. SIM grouping has no effect on the normal operation of the Switch in the user's
network.
•
There are three classifications for switches using SIM. The Commander Switch (CS), which is the master
switch of the group, Member Switch (MS), which is a switch that is recognized by the CS a member of a
