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 DES-3800 series forms a cost-effective Ethernet virtual stack for workgroup connection. It incorporates L3 packet routing and many functions typically found in a chassis-based solution. The DES-3800 series provides the state-of-the-art Single IP Management for seamless integration with a core Gigabit xStack attached to an optional ultra high-speed 10Gigabit backbone.

Simple to deploy and easy to manage, the DES-3800 series comprises the departmental access-level devices that can be easily stacked and configured with any switches supporting D-Link's Single IP Management, including the D-Link xStack core switches, to form part of a multi-level network structured with backbone and centralized high-speed servers. Without any stacking cable, cable distance barrier and physical stacking method limitations, a DES-3800 stack can comprise units that are located anywhere on the same network domain, eliminating the possibility of any single point of failure. Ideal for deployment at the network edge, the DES-3800 blends L2 packet switching with dynamic L3 IP routing to relieve the network backbone and servers of any unnecessary traffic.

The DES-3800 series provides a complete set of security features for connectivity and access control. This set includes L2/3/4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) based on MAC address, switch port, IP address, and/or TCP/UDP port numbers, ARP storm control and MAC address control. The DES-3800 also provides central management for administration access via TACACS+ and RADIUS. Together with network application control, this security ensures that not only proper user access is served, but malicious traffic is also prevented from being spread across the network.

The DES-3800 series provides extensive VLAN support including 4K VLAN entries, GARP/GVRP and 802.1Q to enhance network security and performance. Bandwidth control allows you to set traffic limit for each port to control the traffic volume from the edge of the network. DES-3828 and 3828P support redundant power option to maximize network uptime. Other features include 802.3ad Link Aggregation, 802.1d Spanning Tree and 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree to increase network reliability and availability of your Virtual Stack.

The DES-3800 series implements a robust set of multilayer (L2, L3, L4) QoS/CoS features to ensure that critical network services like VoIP, ERP, Intranet and video conference are served with proper priority. 8 priority queues for 802.1p/TOS/DiffServ are supported, with classification and marking based on MAC SA/DA, IP SA/DA, DSCP, and/or TCP/UDP port numbers. With IP Multicast support, the DES-3800 is also ideal for high-bandwidth applications, such as MPEG video, delivering traffic to multiple receivers without adding any additional burden on the source or the receivers while using the least network bandwidth.
