DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch
New Box ID
The new box ID of the selected switch in the stack that was selected in the
Current Box ID
field.
The user may choose any number between
1
and
12
to identify the switch in the switch stack.
Auto
will automatically assign a box number to the switch in the switch stack.
Priority
Displays the priority ID of the Switch. The range is
1
to
63
. The lower the number, the higher the
priority. The box (switch) with the lowest priority number in the stack is the Primary Master
switch. The Primary Master switch will be used to configure applications of the switch stack.
Information configured in this window is found in the
Monitoring
folder under
Stack Information
.
NOTE:
Configured box priority settings will not be implemented until users
physically save it using the Web GUI or the CLI.
IP Interface Setup
Each VLAN must be configured prior to setting up the VLAN’s corresponding IP interface.
An example is presented below:

Table 2- 1. VLAN Example - Assigned Ports
In this case, six IP interfaces are required, so a CIDR notation of 10.32.0.0/11 (or a 11-bit) addressing scheme will work. This
addressing scheme will give a subnet mask of 11111111.11100000.00000000.00000000 (binary) or 255.224.0.0 (decimal).
Using a 10.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address notation, the above example would give six network addresses and six subnets.
Any IP address from the allowed range of IP addresses for each subnet can be chosen as an IP address for an IP interface on the
switch.
For this example, we have chosen the next IP address above the network address for the IP interface’s IP Address:
VLAN Name
VID
Network Number
IP Address
System (default)
1
10.32.0.0
10.32.0.1
Engineer 2
10.64.0.0 10.64.0.1
Marketing 3
10.96.0.0 10.96.0.1
Finance 4
10.128.0.0
10.128.0.1
Sales 5
10.160.0.0
10.160.0.1
Backbone 6
10.192.0.0 10.192.0.1
Table 2- 2. VLAN Example - Assigned IP Interfaces
The six IP interfaces, each with an IP address (listed in the table above), and a subnet mask of 255.224.0.0 can be entered into the
Setup IP Interface
window.
