Parameter
Description
SIM State
Use the pull-down menu to either enable or disable the SIM state on the
Switch.
Disabled
will render all SIM functions on the Switch inoperable.
Role State
Use the pull-down menu to change the SIM role of the Switch. The two choices
are:
Candidate
- A Candidate Switch (CaS) is not the member of a SIM group but is
connected to a Commander Switch. This is the default setting for the SIM role
of the DGS-3400 Series.
Commander
- Choosing this parameter will make the Switch a Commander
Switch (CS). The user may join other switches to this Switch, over Ethernet, to
be part of its SIM group. Choosing this option will also enable the Switch to be
configured for SIM.
Discovery Interval
The user may set the discovery protocol interval, in seconds that the Switch
will send out discovery packets. Returning information to a Commander Switch
will include information about other switches connected to it. (Ex. MS, CaS).
The user may set the Discovery Interval from
30
to
90
seconds.
Holdtime
This parameter may be set for the time, in seconds; the Switch will hold
information sent to it from other switches, utilizing the Discovery Interval. The
user may set the hold time from
100
to
255
seconds.
Click
Apply
to implement the settings changed. After enabling the Switch to be a Commander Switch (CS), the
Single IP
Management
folder will then contain three added links to aid the user in configuring SIM through the web, including
Topology
,
Firmware Upgrade
and
Configuration Backup/Restore
.
