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.
The Upgrade to v1.6
To better improve SIM management, the xStack DES-3528 Switch has been upgraded to version 1.6 in this release.
Many improvements have been made, including:
The Commander Switch (CS) now has the capability to automatically rediscover member Switches that have left the
SIM group, either through a reboot or web malfunction. This feature is accomplished through the use of Discover
packets and Maintain packets that previously set SIM members will emit after a reboot. Once a MS has had its MAC
address and password saved to the CS’s database, if a reboot occurs in the MS, the CS will keep this MS information
in its database and when a MS has been rediscovered, it will add the MS back into the SIM tree automatically. No
configuration will be necessary to rediscover these Switches. There are some instances where pre-saved MS
Switches cannot be rediscovered. For example, if the Switch is still powered down, if it has become the member of
another group, or if it has been configured to be a Commander Switch, the rediscovery process cannot occur.
This version will support multiple Switch upload and downloads for firmware, configuration files and log files, as
follows:
• Firmware – The Switch now supports multiple MS firmware downloads from a TFTP server.
• Configuration Files – This Switch now supports multiple downloading and uploading of configuration files
both to (for configuration restoration) and from (for configuration backup) MS’s, using a TFTP server..
• Log – The Switch now supports uploading multiple MS log files to a TFTP server.
NOTE: For more details regarding improvements made in SIMv1.6, please refer to the White Paper
located on the D-Link website.
