  • Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If unsure of the type of power source required, consult your service provider or local power company.
  • To help avoid damaging the system, be sure the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power supply is set to match the power available at the Switch’s location:
    • 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan
    • 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan
    • 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
  • Also, be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
  • Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable for your system or for any AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
  • To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If using an extension cable is necessary, use a 3wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
  • Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
  • To help protect the system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
  • Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
  • Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications. Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
  • When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if offered with your system, observe the following guidelines:
    • Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.
    • Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
    • If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.
  • Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are firmly connected to the system. Avoid sudden stops and uneven surfaces.

General Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products

Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also, refer to the rack installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific caution statements and procedures.

  • Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, “component” refers to any system as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.

CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before installing components in the rack. After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and may result in serious injury.

  • Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
  • Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
  • Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
  • Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
  • After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, and then slide the component into the rack.
  • Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
  • Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack. · Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a rack.

NOTE: A qualified electrician must perform all connections to DC power and to safety grounds. All electrical wiring must comply with applicable local or national codes and practices.
CAUTION: Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
CAUTION: The system chassis must be positively grounded to the rack cabinet frame. Do not attempt to connect power to the system until grounding cables are connected. Completed power and safety ground wiring must be inspected by a qualified electrical inspector. An energy hazard will exist if the safety ground cable is omitted or disconnected.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before touching any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. This can be done by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.

The following steps can also be taken prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

  1. When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until ready to install the component in the system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
  2. When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
  3. Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads, workbench pads and an antistatic grounding strap.

Note: All high-performance N-Way Ethernet ports can support both

MDI-II and MDI-X connections.

Switch to End Node

End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10/100/1000Mbps, RJ-45, Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and routers. An end node connects to the Switch via a twisted-pair UTP/STP cable. Connect the end node to any of the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports of the Switch. The Link/Act LEDs for each Ethernet port will light green or amber when the link is valid. A blinking LED indicates packet activity on that port.

Chapter 4 Introduction to Switch Management

Management Options

This system may be managed out-of-band through the console port on the front panel or in-band using Telnet. The user may also choose the web-based management, accessible through a web browser.

Web-based Management Interface
After successfully installing the Switch, the user can configure the Switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics graphically using a web browser, such as Netscape Navigator (version 6.2 and higher) or Microsoft® Internet Explorer (version 5.0 and higher).

SNMP-Based Management
The Switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The Switch supports SNMP version 1.0, version 2.0 and version 3.0. The SNMP agent decodes the incoming SNMP messages and responds to requests with MIB objects stored in the database. The SNMP agent updates the MIB objects to generate statistics and counters.

Command Line Interface through the Serial Port or remote Telnet
The user can also connect a computer or terminal to the serial console port to access the Switch. The command line interface provides complete access to all Switch management features.

Connecting the Console Port

The front panel of the DES-3810-28 Switch and the rear panel of the DES-3810-52 Switch provide a port that enables a connection to a computer monitoring and configuring the Switch. The console port is an RJ-45 port and requires a special cable that is included with the Switch, to establish the physical connection.

To use the console port, the following equipment is needed:

  • A terminal or a computer with both an RS-232 serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal.
  • A console cable with a male DB-9 connector on one end and an RJ-45 connection on the other. This cable should be included with the Switch. It establishes the physical connection to the console port.

To connect a terminal to the console port:
Connect the male DB-9 connector on the console cable (shipped with the Switch) to the RS-232 serial port on the computer running terminal emulation software then insert the RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 console port on the front of the Switch. Set the terminal emulation software as follows:

  • Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2).
  • Set the data rate to 115200 baud.
  • Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
  • Set flow control to none.
  • Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode.
  • Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow and Ctrl keys. Make sure to use Terminal keys (not Windows keys) are selected.

Note: When using HyperTerminal with the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 operating system, ensure that Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later is installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 allows use of arrow keys in HyperTerminal’s VT100 emulation. See www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service packs.

  • After you have correctly set up the terminal, plug the power cable into the power receptacle on the back of the Switch. The boot sequence appears in the terminal.
  • After the boot sequence completes, the console login screen displays.
  • If the user has not logged into the command line interface (CLI) program, press the Enter key at the User name and password prompts. There is no default user name and password for the Switch. The administrator must first create user names and passwords. If user accounts have been previously set up, log in and continue to configure the Switch.
  • Enter the commands to complete desired tasks. Many commands require administrator-level access privileges. Read the next section for more information on setting up user accounts. See the DES-3810 Series CLI Manual on the documentation CD for a list of all commands and additional information on using the CLI.
  • To end a management session, use the logout command or close the emulator program.

If you experience problems while making a connection, make sure the emulation is set to VT-100. The emulation settings can be configured by:

  • Click File Menu in HyperTerminal
  • Click Properties from the drop-down menu
  • Click the Settings Tab

This is where you will find the Emulation options. If you still do not see anything, try rebooting the Switch by disconnecting its power supply.
Once connected to the console, the screen below will appear on the console screen. This is where the user will enter commands to perform all the available management functions. The Switch will prompt the user to enter a user name and a password. Upon the initial connection, there is no user name or password and therefore just press enter twice to access the command line interface.

Connecting to the Switch for the first time

The Switch supports user-based security that can allow prevention of unauthorized users from accessing the Switch or changing its settings. This section tells how to log onto the Switch via out-if-band console connection or out-of-band Management port connection.
Upon initial connection to the Switch, the following screen will appear:

D LINK DES 3810-28 Layer 3 Managed Ethrnet Switch - Introduction to Switch
Management 2

Press any key, on the keyboard, to view the login screen below:

D LINK DES 3810-28 Layer 3 Managed Ethrnet Switch - Introduction to Switch
Management 3

Press Enter in both the Username and Password fields. Then access will be given to enter commands after the command prompt DES-3810-28:admin#. There is no initial username or password. Leave the Username and Password fields blank.
NOTE: The first user automatically gets Administrator level privileges. At least one Admin-level user account must be created for the Switch.

Connecting to the Management Port

The front panel of the Switch features an out-of-band Management port. The port is an RJ-45 port so it can be easily connected to a notebook computer using a standard Ethernet cable. Connect to the port for out-of-band management using a web browser or Telnet command prompt interface. The Management port is enabled by default, so it can be used for the first time connection to the Switch.
To use the Management port, use an Ethernet cable to connect the port to the Ethernet interface of a computer used for Switch management. The default IP address of the anagement port is 192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, make sure the computer used for Switch management has a nonconflicting IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet.
The IP settings or enabled status of the Management port can be changed through the console port, or through the web-based Switch management interface. To change the configuration of the Management port, use the command: config out_band_ipif {ipaddress | state [enable | disable] | gateway }
To view the status or IP settings, use the command: show out_band_ipif
To change settings for the out-of-band Management port in the web interface, use the following path: Management > Out of Band Management Settings

Password Protection

The switches do not have a default user name and password. One of the first tasks when settings up the Switch is to create user accounts. Logging in using a predefined administrator-level user name will give the user privileged access to the Switch’s management software.
After the initial login, define new passwords for both default user names to prevent unauthorized access to the Switch, and record the passwords for future reference.
To create an administrator-level account for the Switch, do the following:

  1. At the CLI login prompt, enter create account admin followed by the and press the Enter key.
  2. The Switch will then prompt the user to provide a password. Type the used for the administrator account being created and press the Enter key.
  3. Once entered, the Switch will again ask the user to enter the same password again to verify it. Type the same password and press the Enter key.
  4. A “Success” response by the Switch will verify the creation of the new administrator.

Note: Passwords are case sensitive. User names and passwords can be up to 15 characters in length.

Assigning IP Addresses

Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch’s default IP address is 10.90.90.90. You can change the default Switch IP address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory. This MAC address cannot be changed, and can be found by entering the command “show switch” into the command line interface, as shown below.

D LINK DES 3810-28 Layer 3 Managed Ethrnet Switch - Introduction to Switch
Management 4

The Switch’s MAC address can also be found from the Web management program on the System Information window in the Configuration folder.
The IP address for the Switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-based manager. The Switch IP address can be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in which case the actual address assigned to the Switch must be known.
The IP address may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as follows: Starting at the command line prompt, enter the commands config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

Where the x’s represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the y’s represent the corresponding subnet mask.
Alternatively, you can enter config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z. Where the x’s represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the z represents the corresponding number of subnets in CIDR notation.
The IP interface named System on the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask, and then be used to connect a management station to the Switch’s Telnet or Web-based management agent.

D LINK DES 3810-28 Layer 3 Managed Ethrnet Switch - Introduction to Switch
Management 5

In the above example, the Switch was assigned an IP address of 10.90.90.91 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. (the CIDR form was used to set the address (10.90.90.91/8). The system message Success indicates that the command was executed successfully. The Switch can now be configured and managed via Telnet and the CLI or via the Webbased management.

SNMP Settings

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) designed specifically for managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP enables network management stations to read and modify the settings of gateways, routers, switches and other network devices. Use SNMP to configure system features for proper operation, monitor performance and detect potential problems in the Switch, switch group or network.
Managed devices that support SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs locally on the device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage the device. These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard presentation of the information controlled by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both the format of the MIB specifications and the protocol used to access this information over the network.
The Switch supports SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3. The administrator may specify which version of SNMP to use to monitor and control the Switch. The three versions of SNMP vary in the level of security provided between the management station and the network device.
In SNMP v.1 and v.2, user authentication is accomplished using ‘community strings’, which function like passwords.
The remote user SNMP application and the Switch SNMP must use the same community string. SNMP packets from any station that has not been authenticated are ignored (dropped). The default community strings for the Switch used for SNMP v.1 and v.2 management access are:

  • public – Allows authorized management stations to retrieve MIB objects.
  • private – Allows authorized management stations to retrieve and modify MIB objects.

SNMP v.3 uses a more sophisticated authentication process that is separated into two parts. The first part is to maintain a list of users and their attributes that are allowed to act as SNMP managers. The second part describes what each user on that list can do as an SNMP manager.
The Switch allows groups of users to be listed and configured with a shared set of privileges. The SNMP version may also be set for a listed group of SNMP managers. Thus, a group of SNMP managers can be created to view read-only information or receive traps using SNMP v.1 while assigning a higher level of security to another group, granting read/write privileges using SNMP v.3.
Using SNMP v.3 individual users or groups of SNMP managers can be allowed to perform or be restricted from performing specific SNMP management functions. The functions allowed or restricted are defined using the Object Identifier (OID) associated with a specific MIB. An additional layer of security is available for SNMP v.3 in that SNMP messages may be encrypted. To read more about how to configure SNMP v.3 settings for the Switch read the section entitled Management.

Traps

Traps are messages that alert network personnel of events that occur on the Switch. The events can be as serious as a reboot (someone accidentally turned OFF the Switch), or less serious like a port status change. The Switch generates traps and sends them to the trap recipient (or network manager). Typical traps include trap messages for Authentication Failure, Topology Change and Broadcast\Multicast Storm.

Management Information Base (MIB)

The Switch in the Management Information Base (MIB) stores management and counter information. The Switch uses the standard MIB-II Management Information Base module. Consequently, values for MIB objects can be retrieved from any SNMP-based network management software. In addition to the standard MIB-II, the Switch also supports its own proprietary enterprise MIB as an extended Management Information Base. The proprietary MIB may also be retrieved by specifying the MIB Object Identifier. MIB values can be either read-only or read-write.

Chapter 5 Web-based Switch Configuration
Introduction

All software functions of the Switch can be managed, configured, and monitored via the embedded Web-based (HTML) interface. Manage the Switch from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard browser, such as Internet Explorer (version 5.5 and later), Netscape (version 8.0 and later), Mozilla Firefox (version 2.0 and later), or Safari (version 4.0 and later). The browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol.
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same internal switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in web-based management are the same as those found in the console program.

Logging onto the Web Manager

To begin managing the Switch, simply run the browser installed on your computer and point it to the IP address you have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar should read something like: http://123.123.123.123, where the numbers 123 represent the IP address of the Switch.
NOTE: The factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90.
This opens the management module’s user authentication window, as seen below.

Warranty and Support (USA Only)

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, D-Link Systems, Inc. (“D-Link”) provides this lifetime product warranty for hardware:

  • Only for products purchased, delivered and used within the fifty states of the United States, the District of Columbia, U.S. Possessions or Protectorates, U.S. Military Installations, or addresses with an APO or FPO, and;
  • Only with proof of purchase.

Product Warranty: D-Link warrants that the hardware portion of the D-Link product, including internal and external power supplies and fans (“Hardware”), will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials under normal use from the date of original retail purchase of the product (“Warranty Period”), except as otherwise stated herein.
The customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Warranty will be, at D-Link’s option, to repair or replace the defective Hardware during the Warranty Period at no charge to the owner or to refund the actual purchase price paid. Any repair or replacement will be rendered by D-Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office. The replacement hardware need not be new or have an identical make, model or part. D-Link may, at its option, replace the defective Hardware or any part thereof with any reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware. Repaired or replacement hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer, and is subject to the same limitations and  exclusions. If a material defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines that it is not practical to repair or replace the defective Hardware, the actual price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by D-Link upon return to D-Link of the defective Hardware. All Hardware or part thereof that is replaced by D-Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of D-Link upon replacement or refund.
Software Warranty: D-Link warrants that the software portion of the product (“Software”) will substantially conform to D-Link’s then current functional specifications for the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation, from the date of original retail purchase of the Software for a period of ninety (90) days (“Software Warranty Period”), provided that the Software is properly installed on approved hardware and operated as contemplated in its documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the Software Warranty Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be free of physical defects. The customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will be, at DLink’s option, to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially conforms to D-Link’s functional specifications for the Software or to refund the portion of the actual purchase price paid that is attributable to the Software. Except as otherwise agreed by D-Link in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by D-Link for the Software. Replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to replace the nonconforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given automatically terminates.
Non-Applicability of Warranty: The Warranty provided hereunder for D-Link’s products will not be applied to and does not cover any products obtained through a special or unique pricing agreement, if such agreement provides for warranty terms different from those normally provided with the product or set forth herein, nor to any refurbished product and any product purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which DLink, the sellers, or the liquidators expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining to the product and in that case, the product is being sold “As-Is” without any warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the Warranty as described  herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary.
Submitting A Claim: The customer shall return the product to the original purchase point based on its return policy. In case the return policy period has expired and the product is within warranty, the customer shall submit a claim to D-Link as outlined below:

  • The customer must submit with the product as part of the claim a written description of the Hardware defect or Software nonconformance in sufficient detail to allow D-Link to confirm the same, along with proof of purchase of the product (such as a copy of the dated purchase invoice for the product).
  • The customer must obtain a Case ID Number from D-Link Technical Support by going to https://support.dlink.com, who will attempt to assist the customer in resolving any suspected defects with the product.

Include any manuals or accessories in the shipping package.
  • The customer is responsible for all in-bound shipping charges to D-Link. No Cash on Delivery (“COD”) is allowed. Products sent COD will either be rejected by D-Link or become the property of D-Link. Products shall be fully insured by the customer and shipped to D-Link Systems, Inc., 17595 Mt. Herrmann, Fountain Valley, CA 92708. D-Link will not be held responsible for any packages that are lost in transit to D-Link.

Expedited shipping is available upon request and provided shipping charges are prepaid by the customer.

D-Link may reject or return any product that is not packaged and shipped in strict compliance with the foregoing requirements, or for which an RMA number is not visible from the outside of the package. The product owner agrees to pay D-Link’s reasonable handling and return shipping charges for any product that is not packaged and shipped in accordance with the foregoing requirements, or that is determined by D-Link not to be defective or nonconforming.
What Is Not Covered: The Warranty provided herein by D-Link does not cover: Products that, in D-Link’s judgment, have been subjected to abuse, accident, alteration, modification, tampering, negligence, misuse, faulty installation, lack of reasonable care, repair or service in any way that is not contemplated in the documentation for the product, or if the model or serial number has been altered, tampered with, defaced or removed; Initial installation, installation and removal of the product for repair, and shipping costs; Operational adjustments covered in the operating manual for the product, and normal maintenance; Damage that occurs in shipment, due to act of God, failures due to power surge, and cosmetic damage; Any hardware, software, firmware or other products or services provided by anyone other than D-Link; and Products that have been purchased from inventory clearance or liquidation sales or other sales in which D-Link, the sellers, or the liquidators expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining to the product. While necessary maintenance or repairs on your Product can be performed by any company, we recommend that you use only an Authorized D-Link Service Office. Improper or incorrectly performed maintenance or repair voids this Warranty.

Governing Law: This Warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
