xStack DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch User Manual
MS of a SIM group. A switch configured as a CaS is not a member of a SIM group and will take on the following
characteristics:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

The CaS can be configured through the CS to become a MS.
It is not a CS or MS of another Single IP group.
It is connected to the CS through the CS management VLAN
The following rules also apply to the above roles:
Each device begins in a Commander state.
CS's must change their role to CaS and then to MS, to become a MS of a SIM group. Thus, the CS cannot directly be
converted to a MS.
The user can manually configure a CS to become a CaS.
A MS can become a CaS by:
Being configured as a CaS through the CS.
If report packets from the CS to the MS time out.
The user can manually configure a CaS to become a CS
After configuring one switch to operate as the CS of a SIM group, additional xStack DES-6500 chassis switch may join the group
by manually configuring the Switch to be a MS. The CS will then serve as the in band entry point for access to the MS. The CS's
IP address will become the path to all MS's of the group and the CS's Administrator's password, and/or authentication will control
access to all MS's of the SIM group.
With SIM enabled, the applications in the CS will redirect the packet instead of executing the packets. The applications will
decode the packet from the administrator, modify some data, then send it to the MS. After execution, the CS may receive a
response packet from the MS, which it will encode and send it back to the administrator.
When a CS becomes a MS, it automatically becomes a member of the first SNMP community (include read/write and read only)
to which the CS belongs. However, if a MS has its own IP address, it can belong to SNMP communities to which other switches
in the group, including the CS, do not belong.
SIM Using the Web Interface
All xStack DES-6500 chassis switch are set as Candidate (CaS) switches as their factory default configuration and Single IP
Management will be disabled. To enable SIM for the Switch using the Web interface, go to the
Single IP Management folder and
click the SIM Settings link, revealing the following window.
