1.1 Product Overview
In recent years as the Internet users grow at an explosive rate, they are no longer satisfied
with various existing ways of communications that rely largely on telephone networks, and
demand telecom operators to provide multimedia services such as voice, data, and image.
The t raditional n arrowband ac cess method c an n o l onger m eet t he ne eds f or t elecom
services, while the broadband access technology will bring about tremendous changes to
the life and work of the people.
Compared w ith t he br oadband access methods s uch as A DSL and H FC, t he E thernet
access method features such advantages as high bandwidth and low cost.
The Ethernet is the most direct way of bearing the IP service, which is the major service of
the broadband metropolitan area network (MAN). The network and users do not need to add
any other s pecial equipment, r educing t he c ost i n protocol c onversion. I n ad dition, t he
Ethernet access method is ideal for the users densely populated in residential areas and it
accommodates the trend where optical fibers are used for the access network. Therefore,
the Ethernet gains rapid development and wide application in the broadband access field.
In this situation, D-Link Corporation introduces high-density m ulti-service IPv6 core router
switch DES-7200 by sparing great efforts, after the release of the multi-service 10-Gigabit
core router switch DES-7200 being applicable to the backbone Ethernet. DES-7200, as a
multi-service IPv6 10-Gigabit core r outer s witch of the ne w ge neration, pr ovides pow erful
defense ability while ensuring high performance and large capacity. It also boasts the ability
of s ervice add ition an d ex pansion on d emand, thus s atisfying t he des ign r equirements of
equal emphasis on s ervice and per formance. C urrently, t wo m odels ar e available,
DES-7206 and DES-7210, which offer ten vertical slots and six horizontal slots respectively.
The DES-7210 series multi-service Ipv6 10-Gigabit core router switch provides users with
high-speed non-blocking data switching. With powerful switching and routing functions and
secure intelligent technologies, it can be used together with various series of D-Link
switches t o pr ovide us ers w ith c omplete e nd-to-end s olutions. I t is ideal f or l arge-scale
network core backbone and heavy traffic node switch. By expanding with high-performance
multi-service c ards, t he DES-7200 series s witches s upport po licy r outing a nd IPV6, a nd
satisfies customers’ flexible and complex application requirements.
