Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide This section defines the scope of this guide and gives a summary of the contents of each chapter. It describes the features of the D-Link DES-5200 Fast Ethernet Switching System. Information about the DES-5200 and other D-Link products is available on our web site at www.dlink.com.
The chapter is divided into the following sections. Each section briefly describes the features of the DES-5200. Most of the topics discussed will be explained in greater detail later in the manual. This manual refers to all models as the DES- 5200.
Page 10
Supports Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops. Eight thousand active MAC address table entries per device with self-learning and table aging. The DES-5200 supports SNMP for RFC 1213, RFC 1757, and RFC 1493. VLAN support for 31 broadcast domains.
The DES-5200 is designed for management at a glance. The front of the DES- 5200 has LEDs that give you essential information at a glance. The DES-5200 is a modular unit. The chassis has a CPU slot and four slots for media modules. All the modules have LEDs. See Chapter 4, LEDs, for information on interpreting the LEDs.
DDES5008..A2 Power Plug The three pronged power plug is located at the front of the DES-5200. The switch will work with AC in the range 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. The power requirements are indicated on the rear panel of the DES-5200.

5200 may be plugged in without having any or with all LAN segment cables connected. The power plug is located in front of the DES-5200. Plug the cable into the wall socket and plug the other end into the DES-5200. The power LED will light and all ports will auto negotiate the proper speed and duplex mode.
Crossover cable has a different pin arrangement at each end. Fast Ethernet does not tolerate incorrect pin arrangements. You must use the correct pin arrangement in order for the DES-5200 to work properly. See Figure 11, for an example of straight through and crossover cable.

Algorithm. The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) in the DES-5200 enables you to create alternative paths (using multiple switches or bridges) in your network. These backup paths are idle until the DES-5200 determines that a problem has developed in the primary path. If the primary path breaks down STA will activate the backup path.
Page 79
Root Bridge. Forward Delay Time This is the time any port on the DES-5200 spends in the listening state while moving from the listening state to the forwarding state. It can be set from 4 to 30 seconds.
Page 80
Root Bridge the best switch on the network to ensure the best network performance and reliability. Root Bridge Specifies the MAC address of the Root Bridge. The DES-5200 may or may not be the root bridge. The DES-5200 is the default root bridge. Root Port Specifies the preferred path to the Root Bridge.
5200 or variables that change while the DES-5200 is running. For example, the number and type of ports on the DES-5200 is a read-only constant. The number and type of ports is fixed. Statistics, such as the number of errors that have occurred, are read-only variables.
DES-5200 for SNMP management. Figure 41: SNMP Management Configuration menu SNMP Manager Setting The fields under this setting are used to configure the DES-5200 for SNMP Management. You must configure these settings in order to manage the DES- 5200 through SNMP.
A cold start is different from a factory reset. Authentication Failure Signifies that an addressee (or manager/ user) on the DES-5200 is not a valid user of the DES-5200 and may have entered an incorrect community name. Link Change Event Signifies that the link of a port has changed from link up to link down or vice versa.

Enter the Community String of the Trap Managers in this field. Status The DES-5200 will not send out traps unless the status is Valid. Follow these steps to enter the SNMP Community String: Enter the name of the SNMP Community.
LAN segment. VLANs can be used to subdivide the network. The DES-5200 supports port based VLAN. Port based VLAN means that the VLAN is grouped by port. If a VLAN is created using three ports, then those ports become a separate broadcast domain.

DES-5200. Figure 59: Switch Control Rate Control Store and Forward means that when the DES-5200 receives an incoming packet it “stores” the packet until the entire data packet has been received before it “forwards” the packet to a destination.
Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide Store and Forward requires more memory because the DES-5200 must store the packet before sending it out. Address Aging Address aging is the length of time the address remains in the MAC address table.
TFTP is done using Telnet. It can be done from a remote location using a TFTP server. The TFTP server and the DES-5200 must be on the same domain. For example, if the IP address of the DES-5200 is 100.100.100.001 then the TFTP server must have an IP address beginning with 100.100.100.
Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide digits will be unique to the server and the DES-5200. Remember that two devices cannot have the same IP address. TFTP Server IP Address The IP address of the TFTP server being used to load the new software.

Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide Ping Ping, shown in Figure 65, is a utility to determine if a specific IP address is accessible. Ping sends a packet to the specified address and waits for a reply. Its primary purpose is to troubleshoot LAN connections. A successful reply displays the IP address and packet size in bytes, sequencing and the port number the reply was received through.

Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide A confirmation panel is shown when the settings are changed. See Figure 68. Figure 68: Switch Port Configuration Confirmation Port Indicates the number of the port being configured. State All ports have two states: enabled or disabled. Enabled ports transmit and receive data packets.

Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide Ports in the Auto state automatically negotiate speed and duplex mode. This is the default setting. Ports set in the 1000SX/Full state are set to work at 1000 Mbps full duplex. Ports set in the 100TX/Half physical state are set to work at 100 Mbps half duplex. Ports set in the 100TX/Full state are set to work at 100 Mbps full duplex.
Algorithm. The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) in the DES-5200 enables you to create alternative paths (using multiple switches or bridges) in your network. These backup paths are idle until the DES-5200 determines that a problem has developed in the primary path. If the primary path breaks down STA will activate the backup path.

Root Bridge. Forward Delay Time This is the time any port on the DES-5200 spends in the listening state while moving from the listening state to the forwarding state. It can be set from 4 to 30 seconds.
Page 128
Root Bridge the best switch on the network to ensure the best network performance and reliability. Root Bridge Specifies the MAC address of the Root Bridge. The DES-5200 may or may not be the root bridge. The DES-5200 is the default root bridge. Root Port Specifies the preferred path to the Root Bridge.

5200 or variables that change while the DES-5200 is running. For example, the number and type of ports on the DES-5200 is a read-only constant. The number and type of ports is fixed. Statistics, such as the number of errors that have occurred, are read-only variables.

Enables you to set the rights that members of the SNMP Communities have. Read Only access rights mean that members of the community can view the information on the DES-5200 but they can not make changes to the configurations. Read/ Write access rights enable the members of the community to make any changes they desire.

A cold start is different from a factory reset. Authentication Failure Signifies that an addressee (or manager/ user) on the DES-5200 is not a valid user of the DES-5200 and may have entered an incorrect community name. Link Change Event Signifies that the link of a port has changed from link up to link down or vice versa.

LAN segment. VLANs can be used to subdivide the network. The DES-5200 supports port based VLAN. Port based VLAN means that the VLAN is grouped by port. If a VLAN is created using three ports, then those ports become a separate broadcast domain.
Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide VLAN Port Management The VLAN Port Management menu, displayed in Figure 72, enables you to create, delete and modify VLANs on the DES-5200. Figure 72: VLAN Port Management VLAN Name Enter the name of the VLAN in this field. All VLANs must have a name.
