DGS-8600E Series supports high-intensity 10G service boards and realizes the wire-speed switching of 3 layers without blocking.

DGS-8600E Series adopts HPS (Hitless Protection System). The key components of DGS-8600E Series such as the main control unit, power system and the fan system support redundancy design. All system modules support hot-swap and seamless switching without manual intervention. DGS-8600E Series supports redundancy protection mechanisms such as STP/RSTP/MSTP protocol, VRRP protocol, ring network protection, dual uplink active/standby link protection and LACP link aggregation. DGS-8600E Series supports BFD and realizes fault detection and service recovery in seconds through linking with layer-2 or layer-3 protocol.

DGS-8600E Series supports VSS (Virtual Switch System), which can virtualize multiple physical devices into one in logic. The virtualized system is superior to the independent physical device in performance, reliability, flexibility and management. Doubled Performance: the virtualized system makes the best use of each link in the device and avoids the blocking of STP to the link. High-reliability: based on the advanced distributed processing technique and the efficient function of cross-physical device link aggregation, DGS-8600E Series provides non-stop layer-3 routing forwarding and avoids single points of failure. Flexibility: with the function of DGS-8600E virtual cluster service cards, the distance of virtual cluster system can expand to 80KM, breaking the geographic restriction of traditional cluster technique. Easy Management: the whole virtual system realizes single IP unified management and simplifies the management of network device and network topology.

DGS-8600E Series comprehensively supports IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, ICMPv6, Path MTU Discovery and DHCPv6. DGS-8600E Series supports IPv6-based Ping, Traceroute, Telnet, SSH, ACL, meeting the need of IPv6 network equipment management and service control. DGS-8600E Series supports IPv6 multicast characteristics including MLD, MLD Snooping and IPv6 layer-3 routing protocols including IPv6 static routing, RIPng, OSPFv3 and BGP4+. DGS-8600E Series supports IPv4-to-IPv6 technologies including IPv6 manual/automatic tunnel, auto tunnel.

DGS-8600E Series supports complete layer-2 and layer-3 multicast routing protocols and meets the access requirement of IPTV, multi-terminal high-definition video monitoring and high-definition video meeting. DGS-8600E Series supports complete layer-3 routing protocols and a super-large routing table capacity, which make super-large data center networks, campus networks, enterprise networks and industry private networks available.
