Title: newbie needs help with DES-3200-52P
Post by: edwardsmarkf on April 13, 2014, 12:14:59 PM
hello all -  newbie here.

we currently have a dell-3448 48 port switch that i need to replace.  i choose the DES-3200-52P mainly because i can get a decent price and it appears to have all the features i need (and a LOT more)

i am setting up for our church, and our needs are VERY simple.  i need one port to be "promiscuous" that will manage the public wi-fi.  then the rest of the ports need to be protected from the promiscuous port, but not from each-other.

the unit has not arrived yet, so any setup advice or a tutorial would be most welcome.  i did take a brief look at the setup guide

ftp://ftp2.dlink.com/PRODUCTS/DES-3200-52P/REVC/DES-3200-52P_REVC_WEB_UI_REFERENCE_GUIDE_4.04_EN.PDF (ftp://ftp2.dlink.com/PRODUCTS/DES-3200-52P/REVC/DES-3200-52P_REVC_WEB_UI_REFERENCE_GUIDE_4.04_EN.PDF)

but was hoping for something to "jump start" this rather simple task.

also, this unit looks like serious overkill for what we are doing, so any other suggestions would be most appreciated.
