Introduction 

This section describes the features of the DGS-3024.  

Features 

The DGS-3024 was designed for departmental and enterprise connections. As an all-gigabit-port Switch, it is ideal for 

backbone and server connection. Powerful and versatile, the Switch eliminates network bottlenecks while giving users the 

capability to fine-tune performance 

Switch features include: 

Ports 

•  Twenty-four high performance 1000BASE-T ports for making 10/100/1000 connections to a backbone, end stations, 

and servers.  

•  Four mini-GBIC (SFP) combo ports to connect fiber optic media to another Switch, server or network backbone. 

•  RS-232 DCE Diagnostic port (console port) for setting up and managing the Switch via a connection to a console 

terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program. 

Performance Features 

•  Store-and-forward Switching scheme. 

•  Switching fabric: 48Gbps 

•  Max. Forwarding Rate: 35.7 million packets per second  

•  High-speed data forwarding rate of 1,488,095 pps per port at 100% of wire-speed for 1000 Mbps speed. 

•  Supports 8K MAC address. 

•  Supports four priority queues per port. 

•  Supports 512Kbytes buffer memory per Switch.  

•  802.1D Spanning Tree support. Can be disabled on the entire Switch or on a per-port basis.   

•  802.1Q Tagged VLAN support, including GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol). 

•  Support for up to 255 VLANs.  

•  IGMP snooping support per Switch. 

•  Link aggregation support for up to four trunk groups and eight trunk members per group. 

•  Port-based 802.1x port access control. 

Management 

•  RS-232 console port for out-of-band network management via a console terminal. 

•  Spanning Tree Algorithm Protocol for creation of alternative backup paths and prevention of network loops, including 

Multiple SpanningTree (MSTP) and Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP).  

•  SNMP V.1, V2c1, and V3 network management, four groups of RMON.
