D-Link xStack DXS-3227 - Switch - 24 ports - EN, Fast EN, Gigabit EN - 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T + 4 x shared SFP / 1 x XFP / 2 x Expansion Slot (empty) - 1U - stackable

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 DXS-3227 can stack up to 32 units, providing up to 768 Gigabit ports, and a total aggregated bandwidth of up to 3.5 Terabits. It can stack with other D-Link switches, advocating 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 DXS-3227 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 for a total switching capacity of up to 108Gbps. In addition, the DXS-3227 also supports IP static routing, 4000 VLANs, up to 64 trunk groups, and is 'wireless-ready', making the DXS-3227 the most feature rich, high capacity switching solution in its class by far.

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 DXS-3227 is capable of meeting this demand and more. With a simple optional firmware upgrade, the DXS-3227 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 demands mobility and seamless integration such as PDA and 3G/VOIP mobile phones. With an optional software upgrade, the DXS-3227 functions as a wireless switch providing secure, seamless roaming between access points ensuring clear, uninterrupted data and voice communication throughout your wireless network infrastructure.

The DXS-3227 is equipped to handle many of today's emerging security vulnerabilities previously delegated to only stand-alone firewalls. It incorporates built in ACLs for searching out and filtering such threats as: Denial of Service attacks, Trojan Horses, Worms, and more. Other access rules can also be set up to prevent network, and 802.1x authentication login. In addition, port based security can also be set up to protect the integrity of the network. Furthermore, the DXS-3227 protects against attacks towards the CPU itself, and improves utilization to meet existing network demands to maximize device responsiveness to user configuration activities.

The DXS-3227 supports "Shortest-Path" switching which improves resiliency, uptime and network efficiency. It also supports an optional Redundant Power Supply (DPS-500). It includes support for 802.3ad Link Aggregation, and 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree for increased network reliability and availability.

The DXS-3227 features a variety of network management options: console CLI, telnet, web GUI, SNMPv1/v2/v3, and RMON. It also supports a variety of advanced traffic management options including: Layer 3 static routing, Bandwidth Control, Broadcast Storm Control, Private VLANs, and support for IGMP Snooping. D-Link's exclusive stacking technology is also supported, which allows up to 32 D-Link DXS-3227 switches to be stacked together and managed as a single unit, regardless of its physical environment.

The DXS-3227 provides a robust and consistent set of QoS/CoS, supporting 8 priority queues for 802.1p/ToS/DiffServ, with classification and marking based on MAC SA/DA, IP SA/DA, and/or TCP/UDP. It also provides extensive support for GARP/GVRP, 802.1q, and port-based VLANs for up to 4000 groups per device.
