 DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch 

The Upgrade to v1.61 

To better improve SIM management, the Switch has been upgraded to version 1.61 in this release. Many improvements have been 
made, including: 

1.  The Commander Switch (CS) now has the capability to automatically rediscover member switches that have left the SIM group, 
either through a reboot or web malfunction. This feature is accomplished through the use of Discover packets and Maintain 
packets that previously set SIM members will emit after a reboot. Once a MS has had its MAC address and password saved to the 
CS’s database, if a reboot occurs in the MS, the CS will keep this MS information in its database and when a MS has been 
rediscovered, it will add the MS back into the SIM tree automatically. No configuration will be necessary to rediscover these 
switches. 

There are some instances where pre-saved MS switches cannot be rediscovered. For example, if the Switch is still powered down, 
if it has become the member of another group, or if it has been configured to be a Commander Switch, the rediscovery process 
cannot occur. 

 

2.  The topology map now includes new features for connections that are a member of 
a port trunking group. It will display the speed and number of Ethernet connections 
creating this port trunk group, as shown in the adjacent picture. 

NOTE:

 For more details regarding improvements made 

in SIMv1.61, please refer to the 

D-Link Single IP 

Management 

White Paper located on the D-Link 

website. 

3.  This version will support switch upload and downloads for firmware, configuration files and log files, as follows: 

 

Firmware – The switch now supports MS firmware downloads from a TFTP server. 

 

Configuration Files – This switch now supports downloading and uploading of configuration files both to (for 
configuration restoration) and from (for configuration backup) MS’s, using a TFTP server. 

 

Log – The switch now supports uploading MS log files to a TFTP server. 

4. The user may zoom in and zoom out when utilizing the topology window to get a better, more defined view of the 
configurations. 

SIM Settings 

All switches are set as Candidate (CaS) switches as their factory default configuration and Single IP Management will be disabled.
