xStack DES-3500 Series Layer 2 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual SIM Using the Web Interface All DES-3500 Series switches are set as Candidate (CaS) switches, as their factory default configuration and Single IP Management will be disabled. To enable SIM for the Switch using the Web interface, go to the Single IP Management folder and click the SIM Settings link, revealing the following window. Figure 10- 1. SIM Settings window (disabled) Change the SIM State to Enabled using the pull-down menu and click Apply. The window will then refresh and the SIM Settings window will look like this: Figure 10- 2. SIM Settings window (enabled) The following parameters can be set: Parameters 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 DES-3500 Series switches. 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. Group Name The user may enter a Group Name of up to 64 characters to define the SIM group created. 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 four added links to aid the user in configuring SIM through the web, including Topology, Firmware Upgrade, Configuration Backup/Restore and Upload Log File. 181
