1.1. Overview
DATACOM DmSwitch is a line of Metro Ethernet Switches with L2 and L3 wire-speed comutation capa-
bility, MPLS features, that allow its utilization as a Label Edge Router, and many QoS L2-L7 facilities,
ensuring bandwidth control and priority management. It is composed by the 2000 and 3000 families.
DmSwitch 2000 is a family of standalone manageable switches composed by the 2204G1 and 2304G1
models. They are equipped with 4 100BASE-FX and 4 GBE combo ports (10/100/1000Base-T or SFP).
DmSwitch 3000 is a family of stackable manageable switches composed by the 3224F1, 3324F1, 3224F2,
3324F2, 3224F3 and 3324F3 models. Their stacking ports allow the connection of up to eight switches in a
stack configuration. They can also be used in standalone mode. The 3224F1, 3324F1, 3224F2 and 3324F2
versions are equipped with 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX and 4 GBE combo ports (10/100/1000Base-T or
SFP), while the 3224F3 and 3324F3 versions are equipped with 24 100BASE-FX and 4 GBE combo ports
(10/100/1000Base-T or SFP).
All switch models use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable ports and Auto MDI/MDI-X, allowing the use
of either straight or crossover twisted-pair cables. It means the switch can be used to connect to other
switches, hubs, routers, PCs and many other networking equipments.
Both 2000 and 3000 families switches can be managed through DmView, Telnet/SSH, Web or SNMP.
