About D-LINK OS Software
About D-LINK OS Software
The two primary purposes of the D-Link OS are as follows:
•
To support the attached hardware in switching frames according to the Layer 2, 3, or 4
information contained in the frames.
•
To provide network administrators with a complete device management portfolio.
Product Concept
The evolution of fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet switching from high-end backbone applications to
desktop switching applications is ongoing. At the same time, the cost of this technology continues to fall,
even as its performance and feature sets continue to be enhanced. Relatedly, there is an increasing
demand for devices that can switch Layers 2, 3, and 4, and D-LINK OS software offers a highly adaptable
solution for these constantly increasing demands.
For each networking device on which the D-LINK OS software base runs, the exact functionality provided
by the device will vary according to the platform used and the requirements of the D-LINK OS software.
The D-LINK OS software comes equipped with a comprehensive set of management functions that can
be used to manage both the D-LINK OS software itself and the network. More specifically, the D-LINK OS
software can be managed via either of the following methods:
•
Command-Line Interface (CLI)
•
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Both of these D-LINK OS management options allow the user to control, configure, and otherwise
manage the software locally or using in-band or out-of-band mechanisms. The management is standards-
based, with a private MIB and specific configuration parameters allowing for control of functions not
completely specified in the MlBs.
