Overview
D-Link’s xStack 3200 Series switches are designed to provide effortless wireless technology convergence with traditional Layer 2 data access switching, emphasizing on security, performance, and resiliency. Featuring the latest stacking technology from D-Link, the xStack DWS-3227P can stack up to 16 units*, providing up to 400 Gigabit ports. It can stack with other D-Link switches such as the DXS/DWS-3250, DXS/DWS-3227, and DXS/DWS-3227P, providing extraordinary flexibility. It provides 24 built-in copper Gigabit ports, including 4 combo SFP ports for easy, flexible connection to fiber-based Gigabit media. The DWS-3227P is also equipped with 2 module slots that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet for both copper CX-4 and fiber XFP connections, as well as 1 fixed 10GbE XFP port. When stacking through CX-4 interfaces, a stacking bandwidth of 48Gbps can be achieved, for a total switching fabric capacity of up to 120Gbps. In addition, the DWS-3227P also supports IP static routing, 4000 VLANs, up to 64 trunk groups, and is ‘wireless-ready’, providing wireless roaming, centralized AP management, and rogue AP detection in a single switching solution. The DWS-3227P comes standard with a 10 client AP license upgradeable up to 50, and is capable of supporting 50 APs per switch /stack with up to 600 WLAN clients.
Unified Wired/Wireless Ready
In a mixed network of wired and wireless environments, predictable coverage and security become paramount. The need for a switching solution capable of addressing these needs in both the wired and wireless environment becomes key. The DWS-3227P is capable of meeting this demand and more. With a simple optional firmware upgrade, the DWS-3227P transforms from a standard Layer 2 switch into an integrated wired and wireless switching solution capable of providing powerful wireless security, easy deployment, the ability to detect rogue access points, and centralized management for all compatible WLAN components. Centralized management is crucial for wireless technologies deployed in real-time inventory, data mining, and an array of personal electronics that demand
mobility and seamless integration such as PDA and 3G/VoIP mobile phones. With an optional software upgrade, the DWS-3227P becomes a wireless switch providing secure, seamless roaming between access points ensuring clear, uninterrupted data and voice communication throughout your wireless network infrastructure.
DNA Stacking Architecture
Distributed Network Architecture (DNA) is a combination of hardware and software that is embedded in D-Link’s latest 3200 Series of xStack switches. Switches built with DNA are easily stackable with little or no system downtime for expansion. For example, the DWS-3200 Series switches are self-healing by quickly discovering failures in the stack and re-routing traffic to automatically avoid the failed device and discover the new topology. The flexibility of DNA lets network designers choose the right topology for connecting their devices whether it be through a 10 GbE interface or using a 1000Base-X port to connect between wiring closets. The DWS-3200 Series switches can be used in a number of topologies such as ring or chain stacking. When changes are made to the stack, DNA automatically discovers the new topology and reconfigures the system to accommodate the changes. In the unlikely event of equipment failure, the switches rapidly reconfigure the stack to avoid the failed switch, resulting in extremely fast failover times and little to no downtime. In addition, the DWS-3200 Series allows the network administrator to maintain transparency of system features such as Port Mirroring, VLANs, and Link Aggregation across the stack. Unlike other stacking solutions, this feature allows an administrator to add and remove ports from VLANs without having to configure the VLAN on each switch and without the added hassle of creating VLAN trunks between devices. This also allows, through the use of port mirroring, the ability to monitor any port throughout the stack without having to be physically connected to the same device. This flexibility allows for better troubleshooting, faster configuration, and a lower risk of configuration errors.
