DGS-3100 Series Gigabit Stackable Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide
System Overview
The DGS-3100 Series Gigabit Ethernet Switch enhances networks by providing a powerful switch that eliminates network
bottlenecks, enabling network administrators to fine tune network configurations. The DGS-3100 Series is perfect for
departmental and enterprise connections, and is ideal for backbone and server connections.
The DGS-3100 Series range of devices includes:
• DGS-3100-24 — 24-port 10/100/1000Base-T L2 Stackable Management Switch with 4 Combo SFP
• DGS-3100-24P — 24-port 10/100/1000Base-T PoE L2 Stackable Management Switch with 4 Combo SFP
• DGS-3100-48 — 48-port 10/100/1000Base-T L2 Stackable Management Switch with 4 Combo SFP
• DGS-3100-48P — 48-port 10/100/1000Base-T PoE L2 Stackable Management Switch with 4 Combo SFP
• DGS-3100-24TG —8-port 10/100/1000Base-T L2 Stackable Management Switch with 16 SFP
The DGS-3100 Series provides twenty-four/forty-eight high performance 1000BASE-T ports. The 1000Base-T ports operate
at 10/100/1000, and connect to backbones, end-stations, and servers. The DGS-3100 Series also provides Four Mini-GBIC
(SFP) combo ports which connect fiber optic media to switches, servers, or network back-bones. The DGS-3100 Series
provides an additional RS-232 DEC Diagnostic port (console port) for managing the switch via a console terminal or PC
with a Terminal Emulation Program.

Device Management Methods
The DGS-3100 Series provides different methods for managing the device including:
• Web Based Management Interface
• SNMP-Based Management
• Command Line Console
Web Based Management Interface
Once the device is installed, network mangers can configure the switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics
graphically via a web browser, including:
• Netscape Navigator (version 6.2 and higher)
• Microsoft® Internet Explorer (version 5.0)
• Mozilla Firefox (version 2.0)
SNMP-Based Management
The system also provides SNMP-compatible console program, and supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3. The SNMP
agent decodes the incoming SNMP messages, and replies to requests with MIB objects stored in the database. The SNMP
agent updates the MIB objects to generate statistics and counters.
Command Line Console
The device also supports device configuration using the Command Line Interface. The system is connected via a computer
or terminal to the serial console port.
