D-Link DGS-3324SRi Intelligent Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch

 

 

151

Exist 

Denotes whether a switch does or does not exist in a stack. 

Priority 

Displays the priority ID of the Switch. The lower the number, the higher the 
priority. The box (switch) with the lowest priority number in the stack denotes 
the Master switch. The DGS-3324SRi will always be the master switch if 
configured with DGS-3324SR switches. 

Prom Version 

Shows the PROM in use for the Switch. This may be different from the 
values shown in the illustration. 

Runtime Version 

Shows the firmware version in use for the Switch. This may be different from 
the values shown in the illustrations. 

H/W Version 

Shows the hardware version in use for the Switch. This may be different 
from the values shown in the illustration. 

Device Status 

The 

Device Status

 window can be found in the 

Monitoring

 menu by clicking the 

Device Status

 link. This 

window shows the status of the physical attributes of the Switch, including power sources and fans. 

 

Figure 6- 15. Device Status window 

The following fields may be viewed in this window: 

Parameter  

Description 

ID 

The Box ID of the Switch in the switch stack. 

Internal Power 

A read only field denoting the current status of the internal power supply. 

Active

 will suggest the mechanism is functioning correctly while 

Fail

 will 

show the mechanism is not functioning correctly. 

External Power 

A read only field denoting the current status of the external power supply. 

Active

 will suggest the mechanism is functioning correctly while 

Fail

 will 

show the mechanism is not functioning correctly. 

Side Fan 

A read only field denoting if the side fan of the Switch is functioning properly 
or not. 

Back Fan 

A read only field denoting if the back fan of the Switch is functioning properly 
or not. 

MAC Address 

This allows the Switch’s dynamic MAC address forwarding table to be viewed. When the Switch learns an 
association between a MAC address and a port number, it makes an entry into its forwarding table. These entries 
are then used to forward packets through the Switch.
