DES-3026 L2 Managed Switch with 24 10/100 Mbps ports

Powerful Switching Capacity.
Gigabit Fiber Uplinks for Backbone Attachment.
Versatile Single IP Management/Traffic Monitoring.
Per-Port Bandwidth/Broadcast Storm Control Down to 64Kbps.

The DES-3000 series consists of high-performance managed Layer 2 switches that providean ideal solution for workgroups and departments. Originally designed as an entry-level management solution for the SMB, these switches have evolved into more advanced devices with many added functions. Businesses looking for an advanced yet affordable solution can deploy these switches to manage their desktops. In addition to offering many versatile software functions, these switches also provide fiber uplinks to connect together small groups of users such as in different classrooms or departments spread across on a campus or between buildings.

Affordable Enterprise Features. The DES-3000 series includes many features not found in other switches of the same class, such as IP-MAC-port binding user access screening, traffic segmentation and up to 255VLAN (802.1Q). In addition, it also supports 802.1x port-based/ MAC-based access control. To prevent hackers from overwhelming the switch with unnecessary workload, the DES-3000 provides the CPU Interface Filtering function to filter out vicious packets before they reach the CPU. For Quality of Service, it supports 802.1p Priority Queues and packet classification based on TOS, DSCP and MAC DA.

To enhance network resilience, the DES-3000 provides 802.1D Spanning Tree/802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree, STP loopback detection, and broadcast storm control. It provides 802.3ad Link Aggregation port trunks for load sharing/redundancy backup in a switch cascading or server attachment configuration.

Bandwidth Control. Network administrators can define throughput levels for each port to manage bandwidth. The bandwidth limiting feature provides fine granularity with the ability to define limits down to 64Kbps segments. When applied to control of broadcast storms infected with virus, this feature can limit the level of damage a virus attack can do to the network. The switch provides IGMP snooping to control multicast transmission, and port mirroring to facilitate diagnostics.

Versatile Management Support. The DES-3000 supports standard-based management protoco s such as SNMP, RMON, BOOTP, Telnet and web-based HTTP. With DHCP autoconfiguration, the administrator can pre-set configurations and save them in a TFTP server, and individual switches can boot their IP from the server and load in the pre-set configurations.

Virtual Stacking. With D-Link Single IP Management support, the DES-3000 simplifies and speeds up management tasks. Multiple switches can be configured, monitored and maintained from any workstation running a web browser through one unique IP address. The stack is managed as a single object, with all units identified by a single IP address. Administrators can see a Tree View of the members of the stack and a network topology showing the locations of the units and their link information. This simple yet powerful web-based management eliminates the need to install expensive SNMP network management software. Up to 32 units can be added to a stack without limitation to any specific switch models.
