A BOUT T HIS M ANUAL This manual will tell you how to install your D-Link DGS-1008TL 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch, and how to connect it to your Gigabit Ethernet network. Terms For simplicity, this documentation uses the terms “Switch” (first letter upper case) to refer to the DGS-1008TL 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch, and “switch” (first letter lower case) to refer to all Ethernet switches, including the DGS-1008TL 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
I NTRODUCTION This section describes the features of the DGS-1008TL 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch, as well as giving some background information about Gigabit Ethernet and switching technology. Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.
Switching Technology Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a LAN. If an Ethernet network begins to display symptoms of congestion, low throughput, slow response times, and high rates of collision, installing a switch to a network can preserve much or all of the existing network's cabling and workstation interface card infrastructure, while still greatly enhancing the throughput for users.
For Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating the problem of chaining hubs beyond the “two-repeater limit.” A switch can be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains, making it possible to expand your Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit for 100BASE-TX networks.
Features The DGS-1008TL 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously.
IEEE802.1 P AND Q O S The DGS-1008TL Switches support 802.1p priority queuing Quality of Service. The implementation of QoS (Quality of Service) and benefits of using 802.1p priority queuing are described here. Advantages of QoS QoS is an implementation of the IEEE 802.
Mapping QoS on the Switch The picture above shows the default priority setting for the Switch. Class-1 has the higher priority than Class-0 on the Switch. In order to implement QoS, the user is required to instruct the Switch to examine the header of a packet to see if it has the proper identifying tag tagged. Then the user may forward these tagged packets to designated queues on the Switch where they will be emptied, based on priority. "The untagged pkt will follow the priority 0 to work (i.e. class 0).
The Switch uses strict priority for Scheduling. Strict priority-based scheduling, any packets residing in the higher priority queues are transmitted first. U NPACKING AND S ETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents.
Setup The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps: The surface must support at least 5 kg (11.02 lbs). The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the device. Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is secured fully to the AC power connector. Do not cover the ventilation holes on the sides of the Switch, and make sure there is adequate ventilation around it. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch.
Rack Installation The Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets on the switch’s front panel (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided. Attaching the mounting brackets to the Switch Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the Switch in the rack.
I DENTIFYING E XTERNAL C OMPONENTS This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the Switch Front Panel Front panel view of the Switch Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports of 10/100/1000Mbps AutoNegotiation. Comprehensive LED indicators that display the conditions of the Switch and status of the network. A description of these LED indicators follows (see LED Indicators). LED Indicators The LED indicators of the DGS-1008TL include Power, Link/Act, and Speed at 100/1000Mbps.
The Switch LED indicators Per unit: Power: A steady green light indicates the switch is power on. Per port: Link/Act: A steady green light indicates that the corresponding port is connected and a valid link is established. This will blink green when there is activity on the port. 1000Mbps: The steady green light indicates that the corresponding port is connected at 1000Mbps. 100Mbps: The steady green light indicates the corresponding port is connected at 100Mbps.
Rear Panel The rear panel of the Switch AC Power Connector This is a three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Supported input voltages range from 100 ~ 240 VAC at 50 ~ 60 Hz.
