Several DGS-3627 switches may be physically stacked, using low-cost CX4 10 Gigabit copper modules. In this configuration, one or two 10-Gigabit uplinks may be created, depending on whether the linear or fault-tolerant ring stacking1 is implemented. Up to 12 switches can be stacked in this way.

Using the low-cost coaxial cable as the medium to stack switches together provides not only high-bandwidth stacking but also the flexibility to add 10-Gigabit uplinks strictly as needed. The three open slots can also be used for optional 10-Gigabit XFP fiber uplinks to servers or a backbone connection.

With D-Link Single IP Management (SIM) support, you can easily add up to 32 switch units -regardless of the model- in a virtual stack in addition to your physical stack. Multiple switches can be configured, monitored and maintained from any workstation running a Web browser via one single IP address. The stack is managed as a single object, as all stacked units are identified by a single IP address. A simple yet powerful web-based interface allows you to perform most management and configuration tasks.

A complete set of security features is provided, which includes L2/L3/L4 multi-layer Access Control Lists (ACLs) and 802.1X user authentication via TACACS+ and RADIUS servers. The switch also offers suppression capabilities and Layer3 IPv4/v6 static routing to increase network performance and security. In addition, when implemented in conjunction with a D-Link NetDefend firewall, this switch as a stand-alone or in a stack, is able to automatically quarantine any host displaying abnormal behaviour. Finally, D-Link's ZoneDefense, provides proactive network security by preventing viruses from spreading through the network and thwarting harmful network attacks.

The DGS-3627 switch provides VLAN support including GARP/GVRP and 802.1Q to enhance network security and performance. The switch implements a robust set of multi-layer (L2, L3, L4) QoS/CoS features to ensure that critical network services like VoIP, ERP, Intranet and video conference are prioritised. Bandwidth control allows administrators to set traffic limits on each port, ensuring a committed level of service for end users. For advanced applications, per-flow bandwidth control allows easy fine-tuning of service types based on specific IP addresses or protocols. In addition, a unique feature, D-Link Safeguard Engine, allows administrators to configure thresholds that limit the impact of packet flooding typically caused by virus/worm outbreaks. This increases the switch's reliability, serviceability and availability.

The xStack DGS-3426P next generation switch delivers performance, flexibility, security, multi-layer Quality of Service (QoS) and redundant power option for the SMB and enterprises. With high Gigabit port densities for desktop connections, SFP fibre connectivity, 10-Gigabit uplink options and enhanced Layer 2+ functions, this switch comprises the workgroup access-layer stack for seamless integration with L3 core switches to form part of a multilevel network structured with high-speed backbone and centralized servers.

The DGS-3426P can operate as a stand-alone device or part of a scalable stack. Embedded with Single IP Management capability, a stand-alone switch can form part of a virtual stack, where intra-stack traffic flows through the usual network wires, doing away with the costly stacking cables. Without stacking cables, cable distance barriers and physical stacking limitations, a virtual stack can comprise units that are located anywhere on the network that minimizes the impact of any single point of failure.

Alternatively, optional 10-Gigabit modules can be installed in the open slots to create a physical stack. Up to 12 units or 288 Gigabit ports can be configured for a stack. Users can install one or two single-port modules, depending on whether the fault-tolerant Ring or Star stacking is implemented. With each of these ports providing 20Gbps full duplex transmission on the cost-effective CX4 cable, the DGS-3426P provides not only high-bandwidth stacking but also cost control capability that allows users to add ports strictly on a per need basis. Modules with single 10-Gigabit XFP can also be installed in any of the open slots for uplink to a server or a fibre backbone.

The DGS-3426P provides up to 15.4W power on all 10/100/1000 Mbps ports. It complies with the IEEE 802.3af standard, delivering power over cat5 Ethernet cable for PoE-capable wireless APs, IP cameras and IP phones.

The DGS-3426P provides a complete set of security features, which includes L2/L3/L4 multi-layer Access Control Lists and 802.1x user authentication via TACACS+ and RADIUS servers. In addition, it offers suppression capabilities, Layer 3 IP v.4/v.6 Static Routing and IP v.6 Tunnelling to increase network performance and security. To ensure that not only proper user access is served, but also malicious traffic within the network is prevented, the DGS-3427 includes a Health Check mechanism that provides pro-active network security without the need for manual intervention from the administrator.

The DGS-3426P provides extensive VLAN support including GARP/GVRP, 802.1Q and asymmetric VLAN to enhance security and performance. To support converged applications including VoIP, ERP, Intranet and videoconference, a robust set of L2/L3/L4 QoS/CoS features ensures that critical network services are served with proper priority. With Multi-layer L2/L3/L4 bandwidth control and D-Link Safeguard Engine, the DGS-3426P can set limits to traffic flows from the edge of the network while automatically prevents broadcast packets and bulk traffic generated by Internet Dos-related activities from utilizing the switch's CPU resources. This prevention of unnecessary and harmful traffic can increase the overall network serviceability, reliability and availability of the stack.
