DGS-1100-10/ME
Metro Ethernet Switch with eight 10/100/1000Base-T ports plus two combo 10/100/1000Base-T/SFP ports.
Front Panel
Figure 1.1 –DGS-1100-10/ME Front Panel
Power LED : The Power LED lights up when the Switch is connected to a power source.
Port Link/Act/Speed LED (1-8): A flashing light indicates a network link through the corresponding port.
Blinking indicates that the Switch is either sending or receiving data to the port. When a port has an amber
light, this indicates that the port is running on 10M or 100M. When it has a green light it is running on 1000M.
Port Link/Act/Speed LED (9T, 10T, 9F, 10F): A flashing light indicates a network link through the
corresponding port. Blinking indicates that the Switch is either sending or receiving data to the port. When a
port has amber light indicates that port is running on 10M or 100M and green light indicates that port is
running on 1000M.
NOTE: The MiniGBIC ports are shared with normal RJ-45
ports 9 and 10. When the MiniGBIC port is used, the RJ-
45 port cannot be used.
CAUTION: The MiniGBIC ports should use a UL listed
Optical Transceiver product, Rated Laser Class I. 3.3Vdc.

3 Getting Started
This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link Metro Ethernet Switch.
Management Options
The D-Link Metro Ethernet Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the Web-based
Management.
Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with the Web-Based
Management or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same range as the
switch. Each switch can allow up to four users to access the Web-Based Management concurrently.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management.
Using Web-based Management
After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch, monitor the network status, and display
statistics using a web browser.
Supported Web Browsers
The embedded Web-based Management currently supports the following web browsers:
Internet Explorer 7 or later version
Mozilla
Firefox 2 or later version
Chrome 5.0 or later version
Safari 4.0 or later version
Connecting to the Switch
You will need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:
1. A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
2. A standard Ethernet cable
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the
PC.
Figure 3.1 –Connected Ethernet cable
Log in Web-based Management
In order to log in and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the PC must have an IP address in the
same subnet as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have
an IP address of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~ 254), and
a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. Enter 10.90.90.90 (the factory default IP address) in the address bar of your
web browser and press <Enter>.

Figure 3.2 –Enter the IP address 10.90.90.90 in the web browser
NOTE: The switch's factory default IP address is
10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and
a default gateway of 0.0.0.0.
When the following dialog box appears, enter your user name and password, and click OK.
By default, the Username and Password are empty.

Figure4.13 –Device Information
System > System Settings
The System Setting allows you to configure the IP address and the basic system information of the Switch.
IP Information: There are two ways for the switch to obtain an IP address: Static and DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol).
When using static mode, the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DHCP Option 12 State can be
manually configured. When using DHCP mode, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to provide it with
an IP address (including network mask and default gateway) before using the default or previously entered
settings. By default the IP setting is static mode with an IP address of 10.90.90.90 and subnet mask of
255.0.0.0.
System Information: By entering a System Name and System Location, the device can more easily be
recognized.
System Contact: By entering a system contact.
Login Timeout (3-30 minutes): The Login Timeout controls the idle time-out period for security purposes,
and when there is no action for a specific time span in the Web-based Management. If the current session
times out (expires), the user is required a re-login before using the Web-based Management again. Selective
range is from 3 to 30 minutes, and the default setting is 5 minutes.
Figure 4.14 –System > System Settings
System > DHCP Auto Configuration
From this page you can enable the DHCP Auto Configuration feature on the Switch. When enabled, the
Switch becomes a DHCP client and gets the configuration file from a TFTP server automatically on next boot
up. To accomplish this, the DHCP server must deliver the TFTP server IP address and configuration file

name information in the DHCP reply packet. The TFTP server must be up and running and store the
necessary configuration file in its base directory when the request is received from the Switch.
Figure 4.15 –System > DHCP Auto Configuration
Timeout (1-65535):Specify the timeout.
System > Port Configuration > Port Settings
In the Port Setting page, the status of all ports can be monitored and adjusted for optimum configuration. By
selecting a range of ports (From Port and To Port), the Speed can be set for all selected ports by clicking
Apply. Press the Refresh button to view the latest information.
Figure 4.16 –System > Port Configuration > Port Settings
Media: Specify the media type of the port.
Speed: Gigabit Fiber connections can operate in 1000M Full Force Mode, Auto Mode or Disabled. Copper
connections can operate in Forced Mode settings (1000M Full, 100M Full, 100M Half, 10M Full, 10M Half),
Auto, or Disabled. 100M Fiber connections support 100M Full Force Mode, 100M Half Force Mode, or
Disabled. The default setting for all ports is Auto.
NOTE: Be sure to adjust port speed settings
appropriately after changing the connected cable
media types.
MDI/MDIX:
A medium dependent interface (MDI) port is an Ethernet port connection typically used on a Network
Interface Card (NIC) or Integrated NIC port on a PC. Switches and hubs usually use Medium dependent
interface crossover (MDIX) interface. When connecting the Switch to end stations, you have to use straight
through Ethernet cables to make sure the Tx/Rx pairs match up properly. When connecting the Switch to
other networking devices, a crossover cable must be used.
This switch provides a configurable MDI/MDIX function for users. The switches can be set as an MDI port in
order to connect to other hubs or switches without an Ethernet crossover cable.
Auto is designed on the switch to detect if the connection is backwards, and automatically chooses MDI or
MDIX to properly match the connection. The default setting is “Auto” MDI/MDIX.
Flow Control: Enable this function to mitigate traffic congestion. Ports configured for full-duplex use 802.3x
flow control and half-duplex ports use backpressure flow control. The default setting is Disabled.
