Switch Stack Management

All software function of the DGS-3212SR can managed, configured and monitored via the embedded web-based (HTML)

interface. The Switch can be managed from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as

Opera, Netscape Navigator/Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The browser acts as a universal access tool and

can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol.

The web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same internal

Switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in web-based management are the same as those found

in the console program.

Before You Start

The DGS-3212SR Layer 2 Switch supports a wide array of functions and gives great flexibility and increased network

performance.

This flexibility and rich feature set requires a bit of thought to arrive at a deployment strategy that will maximize the

potential of the DGS-3212SR Layer 2 Switch. Please read the portions of this manual pertaining to the functions you wish

to perform with the Switch.
