The DGS-3420 Series of next generation Layer 2+ Gigabit switches
delivers performance, flexibility, security, multi-layer QoS and access control,
along with redundant power solutions for SMBs and enterprises. With high Gigabit
port densities, Gigabit SFP and 10-Gigabit SF + support, and advanced software
solutions, these switches can act as either departmental access layer devices or
aggregation switches to form a multilevel network structured with backbone and
centralised high-speed servers. Service providers can take advantage of the high
SFP density switches to structure the aggregation of Fibre to the Building
(FTTB) networks that they extend to the subscriber’s sites.
Unparalleled Flexibility
Easily deployed and simple to manage, the DGS-3420 can be virtually stacked
with any switch that supports D-Link’s Single IP Management (SIM) to form a
multi-level network structured with backbone and centralised high-speed servers.
The virtual stack can include units located anywhere on the same network domain,
eliminating cable distance barriers, limitations of physical stacking, and the
need for stack cabling.
Redundant Ring Stacking
Alternatively, depending on whether linear or fault-tolerant ring stacking is
implemented, users can use one or two 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports to create a physical
stack1. Switches in the stack are hot-swappable to minimise network
downtime in case a replacement is required, eliminating single points of failure.
Up to 12 units or 576 Gigabit ports can be configured for a stack using direct
attached cables1 allowing high bandwidth and high port densities on the already
cost efficient DGS-3420 Series.
Security, Performance & Availability
The DGS-3420 Series provides a complete set of security features including
L2/L3/L4 multi-layer Access Control Lists and 802.1x user authentication via
TACACS+ and RADIUS servers.
The DGS-3420 Series offers extensive VLAN support including GVRP and 802.1Q
VLAN to enhance security and performance. A robust set of L2/L3/L4 QoS/CoS
solutions help ensure that critical network services such as VoIP, ERP,
Intranet, and video conferencing are served with proper priority. The DGS-3420
Series provides D-Link’s Safeguard Engine to increase the switch’s reliability,
serviceability, and availability to prevent malicious flooding traffic caused by
worms or virus infections. Bandwidth Control can be flexibly set for each port
using pre defined thresholds to assure a committed level of service for end
users. For advanced applications, flow-based bandwidth control allows easy fine
tuning of service types based on specific IP addresses or protocols.
IPv6 Technology
The DGS-3420 Series also features comprehensive IPv6 support, including IPv6
Tunneling, ICMPv6, DHCPv6, RIPng, etc. With 10-Gigabit connectivity and IPv6
support, the DGS-3420 Series enables you to future-proof your network for cost
efficiency and longevity while meeting the requirements for IPv6 capable network
devices in the coming years.
D-Link Green Technology
D-Link is striving to take the lead in developing innovative and power-saving
technology that does not sacrifice operational performance or functionality. The
DGS-3420 Series implements the D-Link Green Technology, which includes a power
saving mode, smart fan, reduced heat dissipation, and cable length detection.
The power saving feature automatically powers down ports that have no active
link. The Smart Fan feature allows for the built-in fans to automatically turn
on at a certain temperature, providing continuous, reliable and eco-friendly
operation of the switch.
