Switch Description The DES-3226L is equipped with unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable ports providing dedicated 10 or 100 Mbps bandwidth. The Switch has 24 UTP ports and Auto MDI-X/MDI-II convertible ports that can be used for uplinking to another switch. These ports can be used for connecting PCs, printers, servers, hubs, routers, switches and other networking devices.
DES-3226L Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide In addition, the Switch has 2 Mini-GBIC combo ports. These two-gigabit combo ports are ideal for connecting to a server or network backbone. This stand-alone Switch enables the network to use some of the most demanding multimedia and imaging applications concurrently with other user applications without creating bottlenecks.

VLAN membership, packets cannot cross VLANs without a network device performing a routing function between the VLANs. 2. The DES-3226L supports IEEE 802.1Q VLANs and Port-Based VLANs. The port untagging function can be used to remove the 802.1Q tag from packet headers to maintain compatibility with devices that are tag-unaware.
DES-3226L Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide IEEE 802.1Q VLANs Some relevant terms: Tagging – The act of putting 802.1Q VLAN information into the header of a packet. Untagging – The act of stripping 802.1Q VLAN information out of the packet header.
Page 84
DES-3226L Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 6-11. IEEE 802.1Q Packet Forwarding 802.1Q VLAN Tags The figure below shows the 802.1Q VLAN tag. There are four additional octets inserted after the source MAC address. Their presence is indicated by a value of 0x8100 in the EtherType field.
Page 85
DES-3226L Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 6-12. IEEE 802.1Q Tag The EtherType and VLAN ID are inserted after the MAC source address, but before the original EtherType/Length or Logical Link Control. Because the packet is now a bit longer than it was originally, the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) must be recalculated.
DES-3226L Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide packet received on a given port would be assigned that port’s PVID and then be forwarded to the port that corresponded to the packet’s destination address (found in the switch’s forwarding table). If the PVID of the port that received the packet is different from the PVID of the port that is to transmit the packet, the switch will drop the packet.
DES-3226L Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Ingress Filtering A port on a switch where packets are flowing into the switch and VLAN decisions must be made is referred to as an ingress port. If ingress filtering is enabled for a port, the switch will examine the VLAN information in the packet header (if present) and decide whether or not to forward the packet.
DES-3226L Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Port-based VLANs Port-based VLANs limit traffic that flows into and out of switch ports. Thus, all devices connected to a port are members of the VLAN(s) the port belongs to, whether there is a single computer directly connected to a switch, or an entire department.

Port trunk groups are used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high- bandwidth data pipeline. The DES-3226L supports up to seven port trunk groups with two to four ports in each group. A potential bit rate of 800 Mbps can be achieved.
Page 96
DES-3226L Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 6-23. Example of Port Trunk Group The Switch treats all ports in a trunk group as a single port. Data transmitted to a specific host (destination address) will always be transmitted over the same port in a trunk group. This allows packets in a data stream to arrive in the same order they were sent.

Appendix B Cables and Connectors When connecting the Switch to another switch, a bridge or hub, a normal cable is necessary. Please review these products for matching cable pin assignment. The following diagrams and tables show the standard RJ-45 receptacle/connector and their pin assignments.
Appendix C Cable Lengths Use the following table to as a guide for the maximum cable lengths. Standard Media Type Maximum Distance 1000BASE-LX, Single-mode fiber module 10km Mini-GBIC 1000BASE-SX, Multi-mode fiber module 550m 1000BASE-LHX, Single-mode fiber module 40km 1000BASE-ZX, Single-mode fiber module 80km 1000BASE-T Category 5e UTP Cable...

CSMA/CD: Channel access method used by Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standards in which devices transmit only after finding the data channel clear for some period of time. When two devices transmit simultaneously, a collision occurs and the colliding devices delay their retransmissions for a random amount of time. data center switching: The point of aggregation within a corporate network where a switch provides high-performance access to server farms, a high-speed backbone connection and a control point for network management and security.

multicast: Single packets copied to a specific subset of network addresses. These addresses are specified in the destination-address field of the packet. protocol: A set of rules for communication between devices on a network. The rules dictate format, timing, sequencing and error control. resilient link: A pair of ports that can be configured so that one will take over data transmission should the other fail.
