DES-3326 Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
the Switch is restarted. Applies only
when the serial port is being used for
out-of-band (SLIP) management; it
does not apply when the port is used
for the console port. Available speeds
are 2,400, 9600, 19,200 and 38,400
bits per second. The default setting
is 9600.
Local IP Address This is an IP address assigned to the
serial port when it is used for SLIP
communications.
Remote IP Address This is the IP address of the
management station that will use the
SLIP protocol to communicate with
the switch.
MTU Maximum Transfer Unit – this
specifies the maximum packet size in
bytes. Can be toggled between 1006
and 1500.
Switch Operation Mode
Putting the switch in IP Routing mode does not – by itself – enable IP routing. The
switch must be configured to use IP interfaces before it is capable of IP routing.
The switch can operate in one of two modes:
1. Layer 2 Only, Support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs. The switching process is based upon the source
and destination MAC addresses only. 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the switch is considered
as a VLAN-tag aware device.
2. IP Routing, Support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs. The switching process is based upon the IP source
and destination addresses, if present. If the IP addresses are not present, the switching process
is based upon the MAC addresses (as in Layer 2 above). 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the
switch is considered as a VLAN-tag aware device.
The switch must be rebooted when changing the operation mode before the new mode can take effect.
Changing the Switch Operation Mode
To change the switch’s operating mode:
On the Configuration menu, select the Switch Settings link, and then click Switch Operation Mode:
