DGS-3200 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch
50
When a CaS becomes a MS, it autom
atically becomes a m ember of t he fi rst S NMP c ommunity (i ncluding read/write and rea d
only) to which th e CS b elongs. However, if a MS h as its own IP ad dress, it can belong to SNMP co mmunities to wh ich other
switches in the group, including the CS, do not belong.
Upgrade to v1.61
To better improve SIM management, the DGS-3200 Series switches have been upgraded to version 1.61 in this release. Many
improvements have been made, including:
4.
The Commander Switch (CS) now has the capability to automatically rediscover member switches that have left the SIM
group, either through a reboot or web malfunction. This feature is accomplished through the use of Discover packets and
Maintenance packets that previously set SIM members will emit after a reboot. Once a MS has had its MAC address and
password saved to the CS’s database, if a reboot occurs in the MS, the CS will keep this MS information in its database
and when a MS has been rediscovered, it will add the MS back into the SIM tree automatically. No configuration will be
necessary to rediscover these switches.
There are some instances where pre-saved MS switches cannot be rediscovered. For example, if the Switch is still powered down,
if it has become the member of another group, or if it has been configured to be a Commander Switch, the rediscovery process
cannot occur.

connections creating this port trunk group, as shown in the adjacent picture.
5.
This version will support switch upload and downloads for firmware, configuration files and log files, as follows:
Firmware
– The switch now supports MS firmware downloads from a TFTP server.
