Connecting the DES-3224 to the Network

DES-3224 to DES-3224 Connection
There are two ways to connect DES-3224s together: MDI-II uplink port or MDI-X ports. See
Table 3: Cable Connections for the proper connections to use with each type of port. The
DES-3224 is also compatible with the DES-5016 and DES-5024. Port Trunking can be
configured on the device if more than one port is connected between two DES-3224s or if
more than one ports is connected between a DES-3224, DES-5016 and DES-5024. Port
trunking increases the efficiency of the DES-3224 by increasing the bandwidth. See the
section on Port Trunking in Chapter 5 for instructions on how to configure Trunked ports.
Connecting the DES-3224 to the DES-5024 and
Hubs
You can connect the DES-3224 to other switches and hubs on the network. The DES-3224
and the DES-5024 are compatible products that can be connected easily. If you create
multiple connections between devices, create Trunked ports for more efficiency. See the
section on Port Trunking for more details. Determine the type of port you will be connecting
to and refer to Table 3: Cable Connections for the proper cable connections to use.
