Introduction
This manual’s software descriptions are based on the software release 1.00. The features listed here are the subset of
features that are supported by the DGS-1250 Series Switch.
Audience
This reference manual is intended for network administrators and other IT networking professionals responsible for
managing the Switch by using the Web User Interface (Web UI). The Web UI is the secondary management interface
to the DGS-1250 Series Switch, which will be generally be referred to simply as the "Switch" within this manual. This
manual is written in a way that assumes that you already have the experience and knowledge of Ethernet and modern
networking principles for Local Area Networks.

Web User Interface (Web UI)
Management Options
The Switch provides multiple access platforms that can be used to configure, manage, and monitor networking
features available on this Switch. Currently there are three management platforms available, which are described
below.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Switch can be managed, out-of-band, by using the console port on the front panel of the Switch. Alternatively, the
Switch can also be managed, in-band, by using a Telnet connection to any of the LAN ports on the Switch.
Refer to the DGS-1250 Series CLI Reference Guide for more detailed information about the CLI.
SNMP-based Management
The Switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible Network Management System (NMS). The Switch supports
SNMP v1/v2c/v3. The SNMP agent on the Switch decodes the incoming SNMP messages and responds to requests
with MIB objects stored in the database. The SNMP agent on the Switch updates the MIB objects to generate
statistics and counters.
Web User Interface (Web UI)
The Web UI can be accessed from any computer running web browsing software connected to any of the RJ45 or
SFP/SFP+ ports. The Web UI on the Switch can also be accessed using an HTTPS (SSL) connection.
The Web UI is a graphical representation of the features that can be viewed and configured on the Switch. Most of the
features available through the CLI can be accessed through the Web UI. Web browsers like Microsoft Internet
Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari can be used.

Smart Wizard
After successfully connecting to the Web UI for the first time, the Smart Wizard embedded Web utility will be
launched. This wizard will guide the user through basic configuration steps that is essential for first time connection to
the Switch.
Step 1 - Web Mode
The Switch supports two Web Modes: Standard Mode and Surveillance Mode.
• The Standard Mode is used to configure, manage, and monitor most of the software features on the Switch.
• The Surveillance Mode is an additional web mode specifically designed to assist the user with surveillance
features supported by the Switch.
NOTE: The Web Mode can only be changed when one user session is connected to the Web UI of
the Switch.
Figure 2-3 Web Mode
The fields that can be configured are described below:

Click the Exit button to discard the changes made, exit the Smart Wizard, and continue to the Web UI.
Click the Next button to accept the changes made and continue to the next step.
Step 2 - System IP Information
In this step, we can configure System IP Information.
NOTE: The Switch will probe for surveillance devices every 30 seconds. If a surveillance device is
not in the same subnet as the switch, it will not be discovered automatically. Place the Switch
management IP in the same subnet as the surveillance devices for ONVIF cameras to be
added to the Surveillance Mode Web UI automatically.

relationship is necessary for establishing the timing control between the two
physical layers. The timing control is set on a master physical layer by a local
source.
The Slave setting uses loop timing, where the timing comes from a data stream
received from the master. If one connection is set for master, the other side of the
connection must be set for slave. Any other configuration will result in a ‘link down’
status for both ports.
Options to choose from are:

PoE
The DGS-1250-28XMP and DGS-1250-52XMP switches support Power over Ethernet (PoE) as defined by the IEEE
802.3af and 802.3at. All PoE-supported ports can supply up to 30 Watts of power. The Switch ports can supply about
48 VDC power to Powered Devices (PDs) over Category 5 or Category 3 UTP Ethernet cables. The Switch follows the
standard Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) pin-out Alternative A, whereby power is sent out over pins 1, 2, 3, and 6.
The Switches work with all D-Link 802.3af capable devices.
The Switch includes the following PoE features:
• Auto-discovery recognizes the connection of a PD and automatically sends power to it.
• The auto-disable feature occurs under two conditions:
o If the total power consumption exceeds the system power limit
o If the per-port power consumption exceeds the per port power limit
• Active circuit protection automatically disables the port if there is a short. Other ports will remain active.
Based on IEEE 802.3af/at, power is received and supplied according to the following classifications:
Class
Maximum power used by the PD
Maximum power supplied by the Switch

12.95 Watts
15.4 Watts

SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) designed specifically for
managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP enables network management stations to read and modify the
settings of gateways, routers, switches, and other network devices. Use SNMP to configure system features, monitor
performance, and detect potential problems with the Switch, switch group, or network.
Managed devices that support SNMP include software (referred to as an agent) which runs locally on the device. A
defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage the device. These
objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard presentation of the
information controlled by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both the format of the MIB specifications and the
protocol used to access this information over the network.
The Switch supports the SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3. The three versions of SNMP vary in the level of security
provided between the management station and the network device.
In SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, user authentication is accomplished using ‘community strings’, which function like
passwords. The remote user SNMP application and the Switch SNMP must use the same community string. SNMP
packets from any station that has not been authenticated are ignored (dropped). The default community strings for the
Switch used for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c management access are:
• public - Allows authorized management stations to retrieve MIB objects.
• private - Allows authorized management stations to retrieve and modify MIB objects.
The SNMPv3 protocol uses a more sophisticated authentication process that is separated into two parts. The first part
maintains a list of users and their attributes that are allowed to act as SNMP managers. The second part describes
what each user in that list can do as an SNMP manager. The SNMPv3 protocol also provides an additional layer of
security that can be used to encrypt SNMP messages.
The Switch allows groups of users to be listed and configured with a shared set of privileges. The SNMP version may
also be set for a listed group of SNMP managers. Thus, you may create a group of SNMP managers that are allowed
to view read-only information or receive traps using SNMPv1 while assigning a higher level of security to another
group, granting read/write privileges using SNMPv3.
Using SNMPv3, users or groups can be allowed or be prevented from performing specific SNMP management
functions. These are defined using the Object Identifier (OID) associated with a specific MIB.
DGS-1250 Series Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide
35
MIBs
A Management Information Base (MIB) stores management and counter information. The Switch uses the standard
MIB-II Management Information Base module, and so values for MIB objects can be retrieved using any SNMP-based
network management software. In addition to the standard MIB-II, the Switch also supports its own proprietary
enterprise MIB as an extended Management Information Base. Specifying the MIB Object Identifier may also retrieve
the proprietary MIB. MIB values can be either read-only or read-write.
The Switch incorporates a flexible SNMP management system that can be customized to suit the needs of the
networks and the preferences of the network administrator. The three versions of SNMP vary in the level of security
provided between the management station and the network device. SNMP settings are configured using the menus
located in the SNMP folder of the Web UI.
Traps
Traps are messages that alert network personnel of events that occur on the Switch. The events can be as serious as
a reboot (someone accidentally turned the Switch off/unplugged the Switch), or less serious like a port status change.
The Switch generates traps and sends them to the trap recipient (or network manager). Typical traps include trap
messages for Authentication Failure, Topology Change, and Broadcast/Multicast Storm.

cable is removed.
When the host sends an ARP request to an IPC, the Switch still regards the host as an NVR but only temporarily
move it into the surveillance VLAN. The host will automatically be moved out of the surveillance VLAN after about 30
seconds if it is not recognized as an NVR anymore.
NOTE: The same PC, or PCs connected to the same LAN port on the Switch, cannot simultaneously
manage the Switch and the IP cameras connected to the Switch.

STP
This Switch supports three versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): IEEE 802.1D-1998 STP, IEEE 802.1D-2004
Rapid STP, and IEEE 802.1Q-2005 MSTP. The IEEE 802.1D-1998 STP standard will be familiar to most networking
professionals. However, as IEEE 802.1D-2004 RSTP and IEEE 802.1Q-2005 MSTP have been recently introduced to
D-Link managed Ethernet Switches, a brief introduction to the technology is provided below followed by a description
of how to set up IEEE 802.1D-1998 STP, IEEE 802.1D-2004 RSTP, and IEEE 802.1Q-2005 MSTP.
802.1Q-2005 MSTP
The Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) is a standard defined by the IEEE community that allows multiple VLANs
to be mapped to a single spanning tree instance, which will provide multiple pathways across the network. Therefore,
these MSTP configurations will balance the traffic load, preventing wide scale disruptions when a single spanning tree
instance fails. This will allow for faster convergences of new topologies for the failed instance.
Frames designated for these VLANs will be processed quickly and completely throughout interconnected bridges
utilizing any of the three spanning tree protocols (STP, RSTP, or MSTP).
A Multiple Spanning Tree Instance (MSTI) ID will classify these instances. MSTP will connect multiple spanning trees
with a Common and Internal Spanning Tree (CIST). The CIST will automatically determine each MSTP region, its
maximum possible extent and will appear as one virtual bridge that runs a single spanning tree instance. Frames
assigned to different VLANs will follow different data routes within administratively established regions on the network,
continuing to allow simple and full processing of frames, regardless of administrative errors in defining VLANs and
their respective spanning trees.
Each Switch utilizing the MSTP on a network will share a single MSTP configuration that will have the following three
attributes:
• A configuration name defined by an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters (defined in the MST
Configuration Identification window in the Configuration Name field).
• A configuration revision number (named here as a Revision Level and found in the MST Configuration
Identification window)
• A 4094-element table (defined here as a VID List in the MST Configuration Identification window), which will
associate each of the possible 4094 VLANs supported by the Switch for a given instance.
To utilize the MSTP function on the Switch, three steps need to be taken:
• The Switch must be set to the MSTP setting (found in the STP Global Settings window in the STP Mode field).
• The correct spanning tree priority for the MSTP instance must be entered (defined here as a Priority in the
MSTP Port Information window when configuring MSTI ID settings).
• VLANs that will be shared must be added to the MSTP Instance ID (defined here as a VID List in the MST
Configuration Identification window when configuring an MSTI ID settings).

802.1D-2004 Rapid Spanning Tree
The Switch implements three versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol, the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) as
defined by IEEE 802.1Q-2005, the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) as defined by IEEE 802.1D-2004 and a
version compatible with IEEE 802.1D-1998. RSTP can operate with legacy equipment implementing IEEE 802.1D-
1998; however, the advantages of using RSTP will be lost. This section introduces some new Spanning Tree concepts
and illustrates the main differences between the two protocols.
Port Transition States
An essential difference between the three protocols is in the way ports transition to a forwarding state and in the way,
this transition relates to the role of the port (forwarding or not forwarding) in the topology. MSTP and RSTP combine
the transition states Disabled, Blocking, and Listening used in 802.1D-1998 and creates a single state called
Discarding. In either case, ports do not forward packets. In the STP port, transition states Disabled, Blocking or
Listening or in the RSTP/MSTP port state Discarding, there is no functional difference, the port is not active in the
network topology. Table 7-3 below compares how the three protocols differ regarding the port state transition.
All three protocols calculate a stable topology in the same way. Every segment will have a single path to the root
bridge. All bridges listen for BPDU packets. However, BPDU packets are sent more frequently, with every Hello
packet. BPDU packets are sent even if a BPDU packet was not received. Therefore, each link between bridges is
sensitive to the status of the link. Ultimately, this difference results in faster detection of failed links, and therefore
faster topology adjustment. A drawback of IEEE 802.1D-1998 is this absence of immediate feedback from adjacent
bridges.

RSTP is capable of a more rapid transition to the Forwarding state. RSTP no longer relies on timer configurations and
RSTP-compliant bridges are sensitive to feedback from other RSTP-compliant bridge links. Ports do not need to wait
for the topology to stabilize before transitioning to a Forwarding state. In order to allow this rapid transition, the
protocol introduces two new variables: the Edge Port and the Point-to-Point (P2P) port.
Edge Port
A port can be configured as an Edge Port if it is directly connected to a segment where a loop cannot be created. An
example would be a port connected directly to a single workstation. Ports that are designated as edge ports transition
to a forwarding state immediately without going through the Listening and Learning states. An Edge Port loses its
status if it receives a BPDU packet, after which it immediately becomes a normal spanning tree port.
P2P Port
A P2P port is also capable of rapid transition. P2P ports may be used to connect to other bridges. Under RSTP/MSTP,
all ports operating in full-duplex mode are considered to be P2P ports unless manually overridden through
configuration.
802.1D-1998/802.1D-2004/802.1Q-2005 Compatibility
MSTP or RSTP can interoperate with legacy equipment and are capable of automatically adjusting BPDU packets to
802.1D-1998 format when necessary. However, any segment using 802.1D-1998 STP will not benefit from the rapid
transition and rapid topology change detection of MSTP or RSTP. The protocol also includes a variable used for
migration in the event that legacy equipment on a segment is updated to use RSTP or MSTP.

6 and 40 hops. By default, this value is 20 hops. This value is used to set the
number of hops between devices in a spanning tree region before the Bridge
Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) packet sent by the Switch will be discarded. Each
Switch on the hop count will reduce the hop count by one until the value reaches
zero. The Switch will then discard the BDPU packet and the information held for
the port will age out.
