Installation The site chosen for installation greatly affects the Web-Smart Switch’s performance. When installing, consider the following points: Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight. Leave at least 10cm of space to the front and rear of the Switch for ventilation. Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack.
Figure 3 – Mount the Switch in the rack or chassis Connecting Network Cable The DES-1228 has 24 ports that support 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet; it also has 4 10/100/1000Base-T Ports and 2 Combo SFPs. Each port on the DES-1228 supports Auto-MDI/MDI-X. Auto- MDI/MDI-X is a feature that eliminates the need for worrying about using either a standard or crossover cable—you can use...
AC Power The DES-1228 can be used with AC power supply 100~240V AC, 50~60Hz. The power switch is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to the AC power connector and the system fan. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and may be turned on without having any or all LAN segment cables connected.
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and the network (see the Understanding LED Indicators section). 10/100 BASE-TX Twisted Pair Ports (Port 1~24) The DES-1228 is equipped with 24 Fast Ethernet twisted pair ports that are auto negotiable 10/100Mbps and also support auto...
10/100/1000 BASE-T / Mini GBIC Combo Ports (Option Port 25~26) The Switch is also equipped with two combo 10/100/1000 Base-T / Mini GBIC ports, which supports 1000BASE-SX/LX and 100Base- FX Mini GBIC module for fiber uplinks.

Once you have successfully logged in, the device status page will appear. In the top right corner the user name (default ‘admin’) is displayed with the IP address of the Switch. Below this is a Logout option for use when the session is complete.
Configuring Backup & Restoration, Firmware Backup and Upload, and System Reboot. Figure 17 – Tool Menu Reset: Provides a safe reset option for the Switch. All configurations will be reset to default. Figure 18 – Tool Menu > Reset Configure Backup and Restore: Allows the current configuration settings to be saved to a file (not including the password), and if necessary, to be restored from a backup.
Firmware Backup and Upload: Allows for the firmware to be saved, or for an existing firmware file to be uploaded to the Switch. Figure 20 – Tool Menu > Firmware Backup and Upload System Reboot: Provides a safe way to reboot the system. Ensure the configuration has been saved, or all the changes you just made may be lost after system reboot.
System > System Setting The System Setting includes IP Information and System information. There are two ways for the switch to attain IP: Static and DHCP When using static mode, the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway can be manually configured. When using DHCP mode, the Switch...

Community Setting: In support of SNMP version 1, the Web-Smart Switch accomplishes user authentication by using Community Settings that function as passwords. The remote user SNMP application and the Switch SNMP must use the same community string. SNMP packets from a station that are not authenticated are ignored (dropped).

(someone accidentally turned the Switch OFF), or less serious events such as a port status change. The Switch can generate traps and send them to the trap recipient (i.e. network administrator). Setting up a Trap: Select Enable, enter a Trap Name (i.e. Trap Name must be selected from a Community Name), add the IP of the device to be monitored, and choose the event(s) to trap.

Layer 2 MAC header. IGMP snooping can help reduce cluttered traffic on the LAN. With IGMP snooping enabled globally, the Web-Smart Switch will forward multicast traffic only to connections that have group members attached.

Max Response Time (10-25 sec): The Max Response Time specifies the maximum allowed time before sending a responding report. Adjusting this setting effects the "leave latency", or the time between the moment the last host leaves a group and when the routing protocol is notified that there are no more members.
Page 48
'RouterPortPurgeInterval' time, the learnt router port entry will be purged. Default is 125 seconds. Leave Timer (0-25 sec): This is the interval after which a Leave message is forwarded on a port. When a leave message from a host for a group is received, a group-specific query is sent to the port on which the leave message is received.

Figure 346 – Configuration > Spanning Tree By default, Spanning Tree is Disabled. If Enabled, the Switch will listen for BPDU packets and its accompanying Hello packet. BPDU packets are sent even if a BPDU packet was not received. Therefore, each link between bridges is sensitive to the status of the link.
Page 51
Root Bridge, the Switch will start sending its own BPDU to all other switches for permission to become the Root Bridge. If it turns out that the Switch has the lowest Bridge Identifier, it will become the Root Bridge. A time interval may be chosen between 6 and 40 seconds.
Port Mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming and/or outgoing packet from one port of the Switch to another port where the packet can be studied. This enables network managers to better monitor network performances.
QoS > 802.1p Default Priority This feature displays the status Quality of Service priority levels of each port, and for packets that are untagged, the switch will assign the priority in the tag depending on your configuration. Figure 368 – QoS > 802.1p Default Priority...
Security > Safeguard Engine D-Link’s Safeguard Engine is a robust and innovative technology that automatically throttles the impact of packet flooding into the switch's CPU. This function helps protect the Web-Smart Switch from being interrupted by malicious viruses or worm attacks. By default this is Enabled.
Page 55
IEEE-802.1X provides a security standard for network access control, especially in Wi-Fi wireless networks. 802.1X holds a network port disconnected until authentication is completed. The switch uses Extensible Authentication Protocol over LANs (EAPOL) to exchange authentication protocol client identity (such as a user name) with the client, and forward it to another remote RADIUS authentication server to verify access rights.
Page 56
Key: Masked password matching the Radius Server Key. Confirm Key: Enter the Key a second time for confirmation. TxPeriod: Sets the number of seconds that the switch waits for a response to an EAP-request/identity frame from the client before retransmitting the request. Default is 24 seconds.
This page provides two distinct features. The top table provides the ability to turn off auto learning Mac address if a port isn't connected to an uplink Switch (i.e. DHCP Server). By default, this feature is OFF (disabled). The Macs listed on this table may only connect from corresponding ports and VIDs, in order to protect the network from illegal Macs.
Security > Mac Address Table > Dynamic Forwarding Table For each port, this table displays the Mac address of each packet passing through the Switch. To add a Mac address to the Static Mac Address List, click the Add checkbox associated with the identified packet.
