DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide

Parameter Description

New Box ID

Select the new box ID for the Switch that is selected in the Current Unit ID. The

user may choose any number between 1 and 4 to identify the Switch in the Switch

stack. Auto will automatically assign a box number to the Switch in the Switch

stack.

Priority

Enter the priority of the Switch stacking unit. The range is from 1 to 63.

Click the Apply button to accept the changes made.

Stacking Bandwidth

This window is used to display and configure the stacking bandwidth settings. Physical stacking needs to be enabled

and can be configured to support either a 2-port or a 4-port stacking configuration.

• When the 2-port stacking configuration is used, a full-duplex speed of up to 40Gbps will be used between two

Switches using the physical ports 23 and 24. Port 23 will act as SIO1 and port 24 will act as SIO2.

• When the 4-port stacking configuration is used, a full-duplex speed of up to 80Gbps will be used between two

Switches using ports 21 to 24 aggregated into two virtual stacking ports. Ports 21 and 23 will act as SIO1 and

ports 22 and 24 will act as SIO2.

SIO1 is a logical stacking port pair and SIO2 is a logical stacking port pair. A logical stacking port pair must always be

connected to the same Switch in the stack. Splitting logical stacking port pairs between different Switches in the stack

might not guarantee a stable stacking connection.

The stacking bandwidth must be configured before the Switch is stacked with other Switches.

To view the following window, click Management > Stacking > Stacking Bandwidth, as shown below:

Virtual Stacking (SIM)

D-Link Single IP Management (SIM) is a concept that will stack Switches together over Ethernet instead of using

stacking ports or modules. There are some advantages in implementing the Single IP Management feature:
