The DGS-3224SR is the first in a new series of “Next Generation” high performance stackables from D-Link Systems. The DGS-3224SR blends many features typically found in more expensive chassis based solutions, (high density, hot swap, redundant power options, and high performance) with the price and flexibility of a stackable.

Performance
The DGS-3224SR is a Layer 2, (24) port managed 10/100/1000Mbps with (4) combo ports supporting SFP modules. The DGS-3224SR has an 80Gbps switch fabric and supports dual integrated 10Gigabit-stacking ports for up to 20Gbps of full duplex stacking bandwidth.

High Availability
The architecture of the DGS-3224SR and DES-3352SR supports stacking of up to 10 units in any combination using the integrated rear 10Gig stacking ports in a “Fail-Safe Ring” configuration. Each unit also supports D-Link’s optional Redundant Power option-the DPS-500. Other features include support for 802.3ad (Link Aggregation), 802.3d (Spanning Tree), and 802.3w (Rapid Spanning Tree) for increased network reliability and availability.

Network Management
The DGS-3224SR and DES-3352SR support a variety of network management options including: console CLI, telnet, web, SNMPv1/v2/v3, RMON, TFTP, Port Mirroring, BootP and DHCP. The DGS-3224SR also supports a variety of advanced traffic management options including: 802.1x, Bandwidth Control, Broadcast Rate Limiting, and support for IGMPv1/v2 snooping.

Advanced Enterprise Features
The DGS-3224SR implements a robust and consistent set of QoS/CoS, VLAN, and Security features. The DGS-3224SR and DES-3352SR switches support 8 priority queues for 802.1p/TOS/DiffServ, with classification and marking based on MAC SA/DA, IP SA/DA, and/or TCP/UDP port numbers. DGS-3224SR users can upgrade their units to DGS-3324SRs by a simple installation of a new firmware upgrade. Security features include: 802.1x (port based authentication) 802.1x (MAC based authentication), Access Control Lists based on MAC address, IP address, and/or TCP/UDP port numbers. The DGS-3224SR also has extensive support for GARP/GVRP, 802.1q, Jumbo Frames (Up to 9216 bytes), and port based VLANs for up to 255 groups per device.

The DGS-3224SR and DES-3352SR switches are the latest example of D-Link Systems’ continued commitment to our channel partners and customers to be the industry leader in delivering affordable, reliable, high performance, feature rich switches.
