D-Link 52-Port Layer 3 Stackable Managed Gigabit Switch DGS-3630-52TC

The DGS-3630 Series Layer 3 Stackable Managed Switches are designed for Small to Mediumsized Businesses (SMBs), Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), large enterprises, and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). They deliver high performance, flexibility, fault tolerance, and advanced software features for maximum return on investment. With Gigabit Ethernet, SFP, 10 Gigabit SFP+, security features, and advanced Quality of Service (QoS), the DGS-3630 Series can act as core, distribution, or access layer switches. High port density, switch stacking, and easy management make the DGS-3630 Series suitable for a variety of applications.

Standard, Enhanced, and MPLS Images

The DGS-3630 Series is designed for use with three different software images: the Standard Image (SI), the Enhanced Image (EI), and the MPLS Image (MI)1 . The Standard Image provides core SMB and SME functionality such as L2 switching, entry-level routing, L2 multicast, advanced QoS, Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM), and robust security features. The Enhanced Image supports all the features of the Standard Image in addition to full L3 routing for enterprise integration, including OSPF, BGP, VRF-Lite and L3 multicast. The MPLS Image offers all the features of the Standard and Enhanced Images in addition to VPN services for ISPs, including IS-IS and MPLS L2/L3 VPN. With multiple software images, only the required features need to be installed, providing a flexible approach to software management.

High Availability and Flexibility

The DGS-3630 Series allows multiple switches to be combined to form a single physical2 or virtual stack. This increases redundancy over multiple physical units, simplifies management, and provides a single IP address to manage all members in the stack. Up to 9 switches can be combined using DACs to make up to 432 Gigabit Ethernet ports available, allowing switching capacity to be increased with demand. The Switch Resource Management (SRM) feature allows the hardware table size to be dynamically changed, so that switch functions can be optimized based on the use of the switch. There are 3 modes: IP Mode, LAN Mode, and L2 VPN Mode. These modes modify the size of the Layer 2 and 3 tables for optimum efficiency.
