DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch
HOL Prevention
If this option is enabled it prevents the forwarding of data to a port that is blocked. Traffic that
would normally be sent to the buffer memory of the Switch’s TX queue is dropped so that
memory usage is conserved and performance across all ports remains high.
Jumbo Frame
This field will enable or disable the Jumbo Frame function on the Switch. The default is
Disabled. When enabled, jumbo frames (frames larger than the Ethernet frame size of 1536
bytes) of up to 9216 bytes (tagged) can be transmitted by the Switch.
Syslog State
Enables or disables Syslog State; default is
Disabled
.
ARP Aging Time (0-
65535)
The user may globally set the maximum amount of time, in minutes, that an Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) entry can remain in the Switch’s ARP table, without being
accessed, before it is dropped from the table. The value may be set in the range of
0
to
65535
minutes with a default setting of
20
minutes.
DVMRP State
The user may globally enable or disable the Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol
(DVMRP) function by using the pull-down menu.
PIM State
The user may globally enable or disable the Protocol Independent Multicast - Dense Mode
(PIM-DM) function by using the pull-down menu.
RIP State
The user may globally enable or disable the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) function by
using the pull-down menu.
OSPF State
The user may globally enable or disable the Open Shortest Path first (OSPF) function by
using the pull-down menu.

IP Address
The IP Address may initially be set using the console interface prior to connecting to it through the Ethernet. If the Switch IP
address has not yet been changed, read the introduction of the
Command Line Interface Reference Manual
or return to Section 4
of this manual for more information.
To configure the Switch's IP address:
To view the Switch's current IP settings, click
Administration > IP Address
, as shown below.
Figure 6- 2. IP Address window
To manually assign the Switch's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:
1.
Select
Manual
from the Get IP From drop-down menu.
2.
Enter the appropriate IP Address and Subnet Mask.
3.
If you will manage the Switch from the subnet on which it is installed, you can leave the default address (0.0.0.0) in this
field.
