DES-3200 Series
Layer 2 Management Switches
The DES-3200 Series is a member of D-Link’s Layer 2
xStack Managed Switch family designed for the
Metro ETTX, FTTX, and Enterprise market. The
DES-3200 Series provides 8/16/24 10/100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet connections plus 2/4 combo Gigabit/SFP
ports. The DES-3200-10/18 comes in a 9-inch desktop
size and incorporates a fanless design suitable
for ETTH deployment. The DES-3200-28/28F and
DES-3200-28/ME provide copper or fiber connections
on Fast Ethernet, an advantage when used for Metro
Ethernet applications. It also offers the beneficial
design of 2/4 Gigabit/SFP Combo ports which provide
up to 4 Gbps uplink bandwidth or dual Ethernet ring
topology support. The DES-3200-28F facilitates up to
20 km connectivity for Metro Ethernet applications.
Security & Availability
The DES-3200 series supports 802.1X Port-based/
Host-based Access Control, Guest VLAN, and
RADIUS and TACAS+ Authentication for strict access
control over the network. The IP-MAC-Port Binding
feature allows administrators to bind a source IP
address with an associated MAC for a defined port
number to enhance user access control. Furthermore
with the DHCP Snooping feature, the switch
automatically understands the IP/MAC pairs by
snooping DHCP packets and saving them to the IMPB
white list. These features play a significant role in
keeping the network secure and auditable. The built-
in D-Link Safeguard Engine identifies and prioritizes
“CPU interested” packets to prevent malicious traffic
from interrupting normal network flows and protects
switch operation. In addition, the Access Control List
(ACL) feature enhances the network security and
switch performance.
Resilience/Performance Enhancement
For mission critical environments the DES-3200
series supports 802.1D-2004 edition, 802.1w and
802.1s Spanning Tree Protocols (STP). STP allows
you to configure the switch with a redundant backup
bridge path, so transmission and reception of packets
can be guaranteed in the event of any failed switch
on the network. The switches also support 802.1AX
and 802.3ad Link Aggregation, enabling you to
group multiple ports in parallel to form a single port,
increasing bandwidth and redundancy for higher
availability. For Quality of Service (QoS), the switches
support 802.1p. This standard is a mechanism that
allows real-time traffic classification into 8 priority
levels mapped to 4 queues. Packet classification is
based on TOS, DSCP, MAC Addresses, IP Addresses,
VLAN ID, TCP/UDP port number, protocol type and
user defined packet content, which enables flexible
configuration especially for real-time streaming
multimedia applications such as voice over IP.
Traffic & Bandwidth Control
The bandwidth control feature allows network
administrators to define the throughput levels for
each port in order to manage bandwidth. It also
provides fine granularity to define the ingress/
egress traffic limits down to 62.5 kbps segments.
The switches also support the Broadcast Storm
Control feature which minimizes the chance of a
virus attack within the network. Port Mirroring helps
administrators facilitate traffic diagnostics or track
switch performance and make changes if necessary.
Q-in-Q, also known as VLAN stacking, is a powerful
yet simple and cost-effective solution which can
be used to provide multiple virtual connections
and access to multiple services available over the
Metro Ethernet.
Multicast Applications
The DES-3200 series provides IGMP Snooping to
prune multicast traffic and to optimize network
performance. The MLD snooping feature minimizes
multicast IPv6 packets at the port level to conserve
network bandwidth.
Management Capabilities
The DES-3200 series supports standard management
protocols such as SNMP, RMON, Telnet, SSH/SSL
security authentication and DHCP Relay Option 82.
A web-based GUI is also supported for user-friendly
interface and easy management. DHCP Auto-
Configuration is an enhanced management feature
that allows administrators to pre-set configuration
and save them to a TFTP server. Individual switches
can then get IP addresses from the server for booting
up and loading the pre-set configuration. The Link
Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) allows a network
device to advertise its identity and capabilities on
the local network, which helps businesses better
manage their network topology. Each port on the
switch supports the Cable Diagnostics feature that
helps to detect cable-related information such as
cable length status or cable functionality. D-Link
Single IP Management (SIM) simplifies and speeds
up management tasks, allowing multiple switches
to be configured, monitored and maintained from
any workstation running a web browser through
one unique IP address. The DES-3200 Series also
works with D-Link’s D-View 6.0 software. D-View
6.0 is a Network Management System that allows
for the central management of critical network
characteristics such as availability, reliability,
resilience, and security. D-View 6.0 provides a useful
set of tools for network administrators who want
to effectively manage device configurations, fault
tolerance, performance, and security.
