of which is connected to multiple end-nodes or network
resources.
So, the IP subnets for a network must be determined first, and
the VLANs configured on the switch to accommodate the IP
subnets. Finally, the IP subnets can be assigned to the VLANs.
Assigning IP Network Addresses and
Subnet Masks to VLANs
The DES-3326SR allows the assignment of IP subnets to
individual VLANs.
Developing an IP addressing scheme is a complex subject, but
it is sufficient here to mention that the total number of
anticipated end nodes – for each IP interface – must be
accommodated with an unique IP address. It should be noted
that the switch regards a VLAN with an IP network address and
corresponding subnet mask assigned as an IP interface.
Defining Static Routes
Routes between the IP interfaces and a default gateway or other
router with a WAN connection should be determined
beforehand and entered into the static/default routing table on
the DES-3326SR.
Getting Started
The first step in getting started in using web-based
management for your Switch is to secure a browser. A Web
browser is a program which allows a person to read hypertext,
for example, Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Follow the installation instructions for your browser.
