28-Port Layer 3 Stackable Managed Gigabit Fiber Switch

Designed specifically for Small to Medium Businesses, Enterprises and ISPs, the DGS-3630 Series Gigabit L3 Stackable Managed Switches combine 4x embedded 10G stacking/uplink ports, built-in 6kV surge protection, Intelligent Switch Resource Management, and upgradeable software 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). 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 Standard Image features in addition to L3 routing for enterprise integration, while the MPLS Image combines the Enhanced Image feature set with VPN services for service providers.

The DGS-3630 Series allows multiple switches to be combined to form a single physical 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. In addition to traditional Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), the DGS-3630 Series also supports advanced Ethernet failover redundancy technologies, such as Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) and FlexLink. ERPS provides millisecond-level failover in a ring topology.

The DGS-3630 Series provides a complete set of security features including multi-layer Access Control Lists (ACLs) and 802.1X user authentication via TACACS+ and RADIUS. The DGS-3630 Series also offers extensive VLAN support, including GVRP and 802.1Q VLAN to enhance security and performance.

The DGS-3630 Series provides the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) utility, an industry-standard CLI, and an intuitive web-based management interface that enables administrators to set up and remotely manage their networks. Support for SNMP allows centralized management of a large number of devices and out-of-band management is available via a dedicated console port.

The DGS-3630 Series features D-Link Green technology, which includes a power-saving mode, smart fan feature, reduced heat dissipation, and cable length detection. The power-saving feature automatically powers down ports that have no link or link partner, and ensures that LEDs are shut off when not needed.
