Management Options
The Switch provides multiple access platforms that can be used to configure, manage and monitor
networking features available on the Switch. Currently there are three management platforms
available and they are described below.
Web-based Management Interface
After successfully installing the Switch, the user can configure the Switch, monitor the LED panel,
and display statistics graphically using a Web browser, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer, Opera
Firefox, Safari, or Google Chrome.
SNMP-based Management
The Switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The Switch supports
SNMP version 1.0, and version 2c. The SNMP agent decodes the incoming SNMP messages and
responds to requests with MIB objects stored in the database. The SNMP agent updates the MIB
objects to generate statistics and counters.
D-Link Network Assistant
DNA (D-Link Network Assistant) included on the installation CD is a program for discovering DGS-
1100 Series Switches with the same L2 network segment connected to your PC. This tool can
support windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
Connecting using the Web User Interface
Most software functions of the DGS-1100 Series switches can be managed, configured and
monitored via the embedded web-based (HTML) interface. Manage the Switch from remote stations
anywhere on the network through a standard web browser. The web browser acts as a universal
access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol.
You need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:
