MIBs
Management and counter information are stored by the switch in the Management
Information Base (MIB). 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.
IP Address Assignment
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 from the initial boot console screen – shown below.
Figure 2 - 3.
Boot Screen
The switch’s MAC address can also be found from the Web management program on the
Switch Information (Basic Settings) window on the Configuration menu.
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:
1.
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.
2. 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
which can then be used to connect a management station to the switch’s Telnet or Web-based
management agent.
Figure 2 - 4.
Assigning the Switch an IP Address
In the above example, the switch was assigned an IP address of 10.52.19.13 with a subnet
mask of 255.0.0.0. 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 Web-based management.
Connecting Devices to the Switch
After assigning IP addresses to the switch, you can connect devices to the switch.
To connect a device to an SFP transceiver port:
1.
Use your cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP transceiver type.
2.
Insert the SFP transceiver (sold separately) into the SFP transceiver slot.
3.
Use the appropriate network cabling to connect a device to the connectors on the SFP
transceiver.
NOTICE:
When the SFP transceiver acquires a link, the
associated integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T port is disabled.

Introduction
All software functions of the DES-6500 can be managed, configured and monitored via the
embedded web-based (HTML) interface. The switch can be managed from remote stations
anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Netscape
Navigator/Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. 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.
Login to Web Manager
To begin managing your Switch simply run the browser you have 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 for the switch is
10.90.90.90.
In the page that opens, click on the
Login to make a setup
button at the top of the window:

This opens the management module’s user authentication window, as shown below.
Leave both the
User Name
field and the
Password
field blank and click OK. This will open
the Web-based user interface. The Switch management features available in the web-based
manager are explained below.
Web-based User Interface
The user interface provides access to various switch configuration and management screens,
allows you to view performance statistics, and permits you to graphically monitor the system
status.
Areas of the User Interface
The figure below shows the user interface.
The user interface is divided into 3 distinct areas
as described in the table.

Area
Function
1
Presents a graphical near real-time image of the front panel of the switch.
This area
displays the switch’s ports and expansion modules, showing port activity, duplex
mode, or flow control, depending on the specified mode. To the right of the Switch’s
front panel is the current stacking configuration.
Various areas of the graphic can be selected for performing management functions,
including port configuration.
2
Select the menu or window to be displayed. The folder icons can be opened to
display the hyperlinked menu buttons and subfolders contained within them. Click
the D-Link logo to go to the D-Link website.
3
Presents switch information based on your selection and the entry of configuration
data.
NOTICE:
Any changes made to the switch configuration
during the current session must be saved in the
Save
Changes
web menu (explained below) or use the command
line interface (CLI) command
