About this Guide

This User’s Guide tells you how to use the D-View network management system

(version 4.1 or later) to manage your DGS-3204 intelligent Gigabit Ethernet

switch, including how to install the D-View management module for the switch,

and how to use the module to control and monitor the switch. Additional

information on installing your switch and configuring it for management can be

found in the DGS-3204 User’s Guide.

Introduction 3

Introduction

DGS-3204 Intelligent Ethernet Switch

This guide discusses how to manage the DGS-3204 switch using the D-View

network management system. The DGS-3204 combines conventional Ethernet,

Gigabit Ethernet and switching technologies into one package. This device

features four ultra high-speed 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet switching ports

supporting.

Additional information about configuring the DGS-3204 Ethernet switch may be

found in the Ethernet switch’s hardware User’s Guide.

Network Management

As networks grow larger, network management becomes more and more of a

necessity. A large network requires a considerable amount of work to keep it

running smoothly, including time and effort spent on user support,

troubleshooting, network planning, and performance monitoring. The intent of a

network management system (NMS) is to make it possible to monitor a widely

spread-out network (possibly spanning many different sites) from a centralized

location.

Network management works by placing a small degree of “intelligence” in the

network elements (routers, switches, hubs, hosts, etc.) to be managed. This

intelligence takes the form of an agent that is capable of collecting statistics and

status information, as well as performing control operations that affect the

operation of the network. The agent responds to commands and requests for

information from the centralized network management system, allowing the

health and performance of the network to be monitored and adjusted.

4Introduction

A network protocol known as the Simple Network Management Protocol

(SNMP) is generally used to communicate between network management

stations and the devices they manage. SNMP was originally developed for

controlling the devices that made up the infrastructure of the Internet, and has

become the primary standard for network management. SNMP commonly runs

“on top of” the TCP/IP Internet Protocol, though other transmission methods are

possible.

Because a network management station can be used to manage a wide range of

devices, network management software is generally divided into two different

parts: a base platform consisting of software common to the management of all

devices; and a set of modules, each of which can communicate with a narrow

range of devices by way of their SNMP-based agents. If a new device type is

added to the network, then a new module (compatible with the particular

platform being used) needs to be added to facilitate its management.

This manual describes the module used on the D-View platform for controlling

DGS-3204 intelligent Gigabit Ethernet switches.

Installing the Management Module 5

Installing the Management Module

This section describes the requirements and procedures for installing the DGS-

3204 management module on your network management system.

Requirements

We recommend that your system meet the following requirements to be able to

use the DGS-3204 switch management module:

♦A PC-compatible computer with a 486DX2-66 or faster processor

♦Microsoft Windows version 3.1xor Microsoft Windows 95 or later

operating system.

♦D-View SNMP Network Management Program, version 4.1 or later.

♦8 megabytes (16M preferred) of main memory (RAM)

♦At least 10 megabytes of free hard disk space

♦A Windows-compatible mouse or other pointing device

♦An Ethernet network card with appropriate drivers

♦CD-ROM drive

6 Installing the Management Module

Installing the Module Software

Note: Please ensure that the D-View platform program has been installed

on the computer you are using for network management before proceeding.

Take the following steps to install the module on your network management

system:

1. Exit D-View if you are running it.

2. Insert the Setup/Application CD-ROM containing the module into your

CD-ROM drive (E: will be used in this manual although your CD-ROM

drive letter may be different).

3. If you are using Windows 3.1, choose Run… from the Program

Manager’s File menu. Under Windows 95, choose Run… from the

Start menu on the taskbar. When the dialog box appears, type the

pathname of the Install program on the CD-ROM drive

(E:\INSTALL)

4. Click OK. The installation program will start.

5. When the program prompts for your D-View Directory, enter the

pathname of the directory where you installed D-View, and click

Continue.

6. The installation program will install all of the necessary files onto your

system. When it is finished, it will display the following dialog:

Click on the Exit button. The D-View network management system is now ready

to manage DGS-3204 Ethernet switches.

Preparing the Switch for Management

You will need to make sure that your switch is properly set up before you can

use the management module:

♦Ensure that the switch is connected to the same network as the network

management station.

♦Ensure that the switch’s TCP/IP settings are set properly. If the switch is

on the same local network, the network portion of the switch’s IP address

needs to be the same as that of the network management station. If they

are on separate LANs, the TCP/IP gateway (router) field of both the

switch and the router need to be set properly so that information can be

routed properly between the switch and the management station.

For more information about these and other items, consult the DGS-3204

hardware User’s Guide.

Adding your DGS-3204 Switch to the Map

Before you can manage individual DGS-3204 Ethernet switches, you need to

add them to your D-View network map. You can do this either by:

♦Using D-View’s Auto Discover capability to add all new SNMP-

manageable devices to the map.

♦Using the Add-Modify Map Device command to place each switch on the

map.

To use the second method:

1. Press the Add/Modify a device on the map button shown below.

2. Select the DGS-3204 from the icon list at the right of the Add-Modify

Map Device dialog.
