AN!Wiki :: D-Link Notes

Notes on setting up D-Link switches for high availabilty.

DGS-3120 Series

Confirmed

Ensure you've updated the firmware to R2.00.010 or higher
System Configuration -> Stacking -> Stacking Mode Settings. Change 'Force Master Role' to 'Enabled'.

Testing

System Configuration -> Port Configuration -> Port Settings. Set 'Flow Control' to 'Enabled' for all ports on both switches.
1. Confirm with dmesg |grep -i flow and look for e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: Rx/Tx. If any interfaces show Flow Control: None, it's not setup right.
Create VLANs for the bonds, 'untagged', disable advertisement (666 for SN, 71 for IFN, default/1 for BCN).
Setup Trunking; L2 Features -> Link Aggregation -> Port Trunking Settings. Set 'Type' to 'Static' and set switch 1 port X as the master. Create a trunk for each node's bond.

Any questions, feedback, advice, complaints or meanderings are welcome.
