Installation Precautions
Warnings
•
The surface on which the switch is placed should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming
unstable and/or falling over.
•
Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded.
•
Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any product except as explained in your system
documentation. Opening or removing covers marked with a triangular symbol with a lighting bolt may
cause electrical shock. These components are to be serviced by trained service technicians only.
•
Ensure the power cable, extension cable, and/or plug is not damaged.
•
Ensure the product is not exposed to water.
•
Ensure the device is not exposed to radiators and/or heat sources.
•
Do not push foreign objects into the device, as it may cause a fire or electric shock.
•
Use the device only with approved equipment.
•
Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal equipment.
•
Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To deter-
mine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices
installed on the same circuit as the device being installed. Compare this total with the rating limit for
the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the switch, near their AC power con-
nectors.

Configuration Overview
Before assigning a static IP address to the device, obtain the following information:
•
A specific IP address that has been allocated to the device in order for it to be configured.
•
A default route.
•
A network mask for the network.
There are two configuration types:
•
Initial Configuration — Consists of configuration functions with basic security considerations.
•
Advanced Configuration — Consists of dynamic IP configuration and more advanced security considerations.
Note
After making any configuration changes, the new configuration must be saved before rebooting. To save
the configuration, enter:
console# copy running-config startup-config
Initial Configuration
Initial configuration, which starts after the device has booted successfully, includes static IP address and subnet
mask configuration, and setting user names and privilege levels to allow remote management. If the device is to
be managed from an SNMP-based management station, SNMP community strings must also be configured.
The following configurations are completed, and the initial configuration uses the following assumptions:
•
The device was never configured before, and is in the same state as when it was received.
•
The device booted successfully.
•
The Serial connection is established and the console prompt is displayed on the screen of a VT100 terminal
device. (Press several times to verify that the prompt displays correctly.)
•
The device is not configured with a default user name and password.
The initial device configuration is through the Serial port. After the initial configuration, the device can then be
managed either from the already connected Serial port or remotely through an interface defined during the initial
configuration.
During the initial configuration, you can:
•
Configure a user name, a password, and the highest privilege level of 15.
•
Configure the static IP address and the default gateway.
•
Configure the SNMP read/write community string.
•
Assign the IP address allocated by the DHCP server.
Before applying the initial configuration procedure to the device, the following information must be obtained from
the network administrator:
•
The IP address to be assigned to a VLAN through which the device is managed.
•
The IP subnet mask for the network.
Starting and Configuring the Device
Configuration Overview
Page 35
•
The default gateway IP address.
•
The SNMP community.
Static IP Address and Subnet Mask
IP interfaces can be configured on each port of the device. After entering the configuration command, it is
recommended to check if a port was configured with the IP address by entering the show ip interface
command.
Note
The commands to configure the device are port specific.
To manage the switch from a remote network, a static route must be configured, which is an IP address to where
packets are sent when no entries are found in the device tables. The configured IP address must belong to the
same subnet as one of the device IP interfaces.
To configure a static route, enter the command at the system prompt, as shown in the following configuration
example, where 100.1.1.1 is the specific management station, the IP address is defined on VLAN 1, and the
default gateway is defined as 100.1.1.10. Note that by default, all ports are members of VLAN 1, which is the
default VLAN.
console# configure
console(config)# interface vlan 1
console(config-if)# ip address 100.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
console(config-if)# exit
console# default-gateway 100.1.1.10 255.255.255.0
Confirm that the IP address has been correctly configured as follows:

Assigning Static IP Addresses on a Default VLAN
This example uses the following assumptions:
•
The IP address to be assigned to the VLAN interface is 100.1.1.110
•
The IP subnet mask for the network is 255.255.255.0
•
The IP address of the default route is 192.168.1.1
•
The read/write SNMP community string is "private"

Verifying the IP and Default Gateway Addresses
To ensure that the IP address and the default gateway were properly assigned, execute the following command
and examine its output:
console # - ip interface
User Name
A user name is used to manage the device remotely, for example through SSH, Telnet, or the Web interface. To
gain complete administrative (super-user) control over the device, the highest privilege (15) must be specified.
Note
Only the administrator (super-user) with the highest privilege level (15) is allowed to manage the device
through the web browser interface.
For more information about the privilege level, see the CLI Reference Guide.
The configured user name is entered as a login name for remote management sessions. To configure a user
name, password, and privilege level, enter the command at the system prompt as shown in the configuration
example:
console> enable
console# configure
console(config)# username admin password lee privilege 15
SNMP Community Strings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network devices. Devices
supporting SNMP run a local software agent. The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, used to manage the
device. The variables are defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). The SNMP agent defines the MIB
specification format, as well as the format used to access the information over the network.
Access rights to the SNMP agents are controlled by access strings and SNMP community strings.
The device is SNMP-compliant, and contains an SNMP agent that supports a set of standard and private MIB
variables. Developers of management stations require the exact structure of the MIB tree and receive the
complete private MIBs information before being able to manage the MIBs.
All parameters are manageable from any SNMP management platform, except the SNMP management station IP
address and community (community name and access rights). The SNMP management access to the switch is
disabled if no community strings exist.

Starting and Configuring the Device
Configuration Overview
Page 37
Note
The device is delivered with no community strings configured.
The community-string, community-access, and IP address can be configured through the local terminal during the
initial configuration procedure.
The SNMP configuration options are:
•
Community string
–
Access rights options: ro (read only), rw (read-and-write), and su (super).
–
An option to configure IP address or not. If an IP address is not configured, it means that all community
members having the same community name are granted the same access rights.
Common practice is to use two community strings for the device, one (public community) with read-only access
and the other (private community) with read-write access. The public string allows authorized management
stations to retrieve MIB objects, while the private string allows authorized management stations to retrieve and
modify MIB objects.
During initial configuration, it is recommended to configure the device according to the network administrator
requirements, in accordance with using an SNMP-based management station. During the initial configuration
procedure, the community-string, community-access, and IP address can be set through the local terminal.
The SNMP configuration options are:
•
Community string.
–
Read Only — Community members can view configuration information, but cannot change any
information.
–
Read/Write — Community members can view and modify configuration information.
–
Super — Community members have administration access.
•
Configurable IP address. If an IP address is not configured, all community members with the same
community name are granted the same access rights.
To configure an SNMP station IP address and community string(s), perform the following steps:
1.
At the console prompt, enter the command Enable. The prompt is displayed as #.
2.
Enter the command configure and press .
3.
In configuration mode, enter the SNMP configuration command with the parameters including community
name (private), community access right (read and write), and IP address, as shown in the following example:
console# configure
config(config)# snmp-server community private rw 11.1.1.2 type router

Advanced Configuration
This section provides information about dynamic allocation of IP addresses and security management based on
the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) mechanism, and includes the following topics:
•
Receiving an IP Address from a DHCP Server
•
Receiving an IP Address from a BOOTP Server
•
Security Management and Password Configuration
When configuring or receiving IP addresses through DHCP and BOOTP, the configuration received from these
servers includes the IP address, and may include a subnet mask and default gateway.
Receiving an IP Address from a DHCP Server
When using the DHCP protocol to retrieve an IP address, the device acts as a DHCP client. To receive an IP
address from a DHCP server, perform the following steps:
1.
Select and connect any port to a DHCP server or to a subnet that has a DHCP server on it, in order to retrieve
the IP address.
2.
Enter the following commands to use the selected port for receiving the IP address. In the following example,
the commands are based on the port type used for configuration.
console# configure
console(config)# interface ethernet 1
console(config-if)# ip address dhcp hostname admin-host
console(config-if)# exit
console(config)#
3.
To verify the IP address, enter the show ip interface command at the system prompt as shown in the
following example.
console# show ip interface

Notes
•
The device configuration does not have to be deleted to retrieve an IP address for the DHCP server.
•
When copying configuration files, avoid using a configuration file that contains an instruction to
enable DHCP on an interface that connects to the same DHCP server, or to one with an identical con-
figuration. As a result of the copying configuration, the switch retrieves the new configuration file and
boots from it. The device then enables DHCP as instructed in the new configuration file, and the
DHCP instructs it to reload the same file.
Receiving an IP Address from a BOOTP Server
The standard BOOTP protocol is supported and enables the switch to automatically download its IP host
configuration from any standard BOOTP server in the network. In this case, the device acts as a BOOTP client.
To receive an IP address from a BOOTP server:
1.
Select and connect any port to a BOOTP server or subnet containing such a server.
2.
At the system prompt, enter the delete startup configuration command to delete the startup configuration
from flash.
D-Link DES-3010FA/GA User Guide
Page 40
The device reboots with no configuration and in 60 seconds starts sending BOOTP requests. The device
receives the IP address automatically.
Note
When the device reboot begins, any input at the ASCII terminal or keyboard automatically cancels the
BOOTP process before completion, and the device does not receive an IP address from the BOOTP
server.
The following example illustrates the process:
console# enable
console# delete startup-config
Startup file was deleted
console# reload

******************************************************
/*the device reboots */
3.
To verify the IP address, enter the show ip interface command. The device is now configured with an IP
address.
Security Management and Password Configuration
System security is handled through the AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) mechanism that
manages user access rights, privileges, and management methods. AAA uses both local and remote user
databases. Data encryption is handled through the SSH mechanism.
The system is delivered with the user name admin, and no default password configured; all user names and
passwords are user-defined. If a user-defined user name and/or password is lost, a password recovery procedure
can be initiated from the Startup menu. The procedure is applicable for the local terminal only and allows a one-
time access to the device from the local terminal with no password entered.
The security passwords can be configured for the following services:
•
Console
•
Telnet
•
SSH
•
HTTP
•
HTTPS
Note
When creating a user name, the default priority is 1, which allows access but not configuration rights. A
priority of 15 must be set to enable full access and configuration rights to the device. Although user names
can be assigned privilege level 15 without a password, it is recommended to always assign a password.
If there is no specified password, privileged users can access the web interface with any password.

Network Security Overview
This section provides an overview of network security and contains the following topics:
•
Port-Based Authentication
•
Advanced Port-Based Authentication
Port-Based Authentication
Port-based authentication authenticates users on a per-port basis via an external server. Only authenticated and
approved system users can transmit and receive data. Ports are authenticated via the RADIUS server using the
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). Port-based authentication includes:
•
Authenticators — Specifies the device port which is authenticated before permitting system access.
•
Supplicants — Specifies the host connected to the authenticated port requesting to access the system ser-
vices.
•
Authentication Server — Specifies the server that performs the authentication on behalf of the authentica-
tor, and indicates whether the supplicant is authorized to access system services.
Port-based authentication creates two access states:
•
Controlled Access — Permits communication between the supplicant and the system, if the supplicant is
authorized.
•
Uncontrolled Access — Permits uncontrolled communication regardless of the port state.
The device currently supports port-based authentication via RADIUS servers.
Advanced Port-Based Authentication
Advanced port-based authentication enables multiple hosts to be attached to a single port. Advanced port-based
authentication requires only one host to be authorized for all hosts to have system access. If the port is unautho-
rized, all attached hosts are denied access to the network.
Advanced port-based authentication also enables user-based authentication. Specific VLANs in the device are
always available, even if specific ports attached to the VLAN are unauthorized. For example, Voice over IP does
not require authentication, while data traffic requires authentication. VLANs for which authorization is not required
can be defined. Unauthenticated VLANs are available to users, even if the ports attached to the VLAN are defined
as authorized.
Advanced port-based authentication is implemented in the following modes:
•
Single Host Mode — Only the authorized host can access the port.
•
Multiple Host Mode — Multiple hosts can be attached to a single port. Only one host must be authorized for
all hosts to access the network. If the host authentication fails, or an EAPOL-logoff message is received, all
attached clients are denied access to the network.
D-Link DES-3010FA/GA User Guide
Page 84
•
Guest VLANs — Provides limited network access to authorized ports. If a port is denied network access via
port-based authorization, but the Guest VLAN is enabled, the port receives limited network access. For exam-
ple, a network administrator can use Guest VLANs to deny network access via port-based authentication, but
grant Internet access to unauthorized users.
•
Unauthenticated VLANS — Are available to users, even if the ports attached to the VLAN are defined as
unauthorized.
Defining Network Authentication Properties
The Network Authentication Properties Page allows network managers to configure network authentication
parameters. In addition, Guest VLANs are enabled from the Network Authentication Properties Page. To define
the network authentication properties:
1.

•
Authentication Method — Specifies the authentication method used. The possible field values are:
–
None — No authentication method is used to authenticate the port.
–
RADIUS — Port authentication is performed via RADIUS server.
–
RADIUS, None — Port authentication is performed first via the RADIUS server. If the port is not
authenticated, then no authentication method is used, and the session is permitted.
•
Guest VLAN — Specifies whether the Guest VLAN is enabled on the device. The possible field values are:
–
Enable — Enables using a Guest VLAN for unauthorized ports. If a Guest VLAN is enabled, the
unauthorized port automatically joins the VLAN selected in the VLAN List field.
–

Configuring Traffic Control
This section contains information for managing both port security and storm control, and includes the following
topics:
•
Managing Port Security
•
Enabling Storm Control
Managing Port Security
Network security can be increased by limiting access on a specific port only to users with specific MAC addresses.
The MAC addresses can be dynamically learned or statically configured. Locked port security monitors both
received and learned packets that are received on specific ports. Access to the locked port is limited to users with
specific MAC addresses. These addresses are either manually defined on the port, or learned on that port up to
the point when it is locked. When a packet is received on a locked port, and the packet D-Link source MAC
address is not tied to that port (either it was learned on a different port, or it is unknown to the system), the protec-
tion mechanism is invoked, and can provide various options. Unauthorized packets arriving at a locked port are
either:
•
Forwarded
•
Discarded with no trap
•
Discarded with a trap
•
The port is shut down
Locked port security also enables storing a list of MAC addresses in the configuration file. The MAC address list
can be restored after the device has been reset.
Disabled ports are activated from the Port Security Page. To define port security:

Enabling Storm Control
Storm control limits the amount of Multicast and Broadcast frames accepted and forwarded by the device. When
Layer 2 frames are forwarded, Broadcast and Multicast frames are flooded to all ports on the relevant VLAN. This
occupies bandwidth, and loads all nodes on all ports.
A Broadcast Storm is a result of an excessive amount of broadcast messages simultaneously transmitted across a
network by a single port. Forwarded message responses are heaped onto the network, straining network
resources or causing the network to time out.
Storm control is enabled for all Gigabit ports by defining the packet type and the rate the packets are transmitted.
The system measures the incoming Broadcast and Multicast frame rates separately on each port, and discards
the frames when the rate exceeds a user-defined rate.
The Storm Control Page provides fields for configuring broadcast storm control. To enable storm control:
1.
Click Advanced Setup > Network Security > Traffic Control > Storm Control. The Storm Control Page
opens.
