For the SMB requiring a cost-effective core switching
solution, as well as for larger Enterprise and Metropolitan
Service Provider (MSP) environments needing a
managed, feature-rich line aggregator, the xStack
®
DGS-3612G is designed to meet the needs of the most
demanding departmental and enterprise connectivity
applications. The D-Link
®
DGS-3612G is a fully managed
Layer 3 switch that provides 12 SFP ports and 4 Combo
1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports. The DGS-3612G also
provides virtual stacking functionality via D-Link SIM
technology allowing up to 32 units to be managed via a
single IP address. With support for IPv4/IPv6 static and
dynamic routing and a plethora of advanced security
and enhanced QoS features, the xStack DGS-3612G future
proofs your network and provides a seamless migration
path to IPv6.
Advanced L3 Routing
The xStack DGS-3612G is a high-performance Layer 3
switch that provides advanced Layer 3 routing features
such as RIP, OSPF, IPv4/IPv6, VRRP, up to 5 IP addresses
per VLAN, and fl oating static routes. Policy-based routing
(which forwards traffi c based on L3/L4 SA/DA) and
Multipath routing (which is the method of establishing
multiple paths between given source-destination nodes
within a network) are also features supported on the
DGS-3612G. These added routing features provide
redundancy, load balancing, and improved network
utilization for the network.
Comprehensive Security
The xStack DGS-3612G incorporates an advanced portfolio
of security features designed to protect your network from
malicious attacks. SSH & SSL encrypted management
guarantee secure private confi guration and monitoring
when using the Graphical User Interface and Command
Line. IP-MAC-Port binding prevents unauthorized devices
from accessing network resources and also acts as
an anti-spoofi ng tool. IEEE 802.1x port and MAC-based
authentication help provide added network security by
requiring all users attempting to connect to your network
to provide a username and password. This username
and password must then be authenticated on a RADIUS
or server, ensuring only authorized users have
access to the network. Access control lists based on
Layers 2/3/4, Rate Limiting, and Guest VLANs provide
even more control over what and how users access
the network. Finally, with the D-Link CPU Safeguard
Engine™, the DGS-3612G is protected from Broadcast,
Multicast, and Unicast fl ooding, which in turn prevents the
DGS-3612G from being crippled by DoS attacks .
Enhanced Enterprise Features
The xStack DGS-3612G facilitates the deployment
of enterprise applications such as VoIP, streaming
media, and multicast content delivery such as IP video
conferencing and software deployment with enhanced
enterprise features such as L2/L3/L4 QoS, IGMP and MLD
snooping, 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree, 802.1s Multiple
Spanning Tree group, 802.3ad Link Aggregation, and
802.1Q VLANs.
