Overview
The DGS-3024 is a manageable Layer 2 switch that provides 24 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports with 4 Mini-GBIC (SFP) combo ports. Designed for the departmental and enterprise connection, it is an all-gigabit-port switch for gigabit-to-the-desktop connections. Powerful and versatile, it eliminates network bottlenecks while giving users the capability to fine-tune performance. 1U height and standard rack-mount size is especially suitable for departmental environment, providing users the best performance/price ratio. Clear, at-a-glance per-device/per-port LED indicators help users to easily understand and control network status. High Performance Wire-Speed Architecture
The DGS-3024 supports full duplex forwarding, 8k MAC addresses and the ability to classify and mark traffic based on 802.1p into (4) priority queues. The DGS-3024 can be used as a cost-effective Gigabit to the desktop solution or a high performance backbone aggregation device. Network Management
D-Link�s DGS-3024 addresses today�s diverse business and IT requirements through its robust support of standards based network management protocols (SNMP/RMON/BOOTP/Telnet/Web) and port mirroring. By supporting standards-based network management protocols, the DGS-3024 can be easily integrated with most third-party network management products. Advanced Enterprise Features
The DGS-3024 brings advanced Enterprise functions to a new level of affordability without compromising advanced features including: QoS, Multicast, VLANs, Port Trunking, Port Mirroring, Spanning Tree, Security, and Network Management. These features facilitate the deployment of applications across an Enterprise, including: VOIP, streaming media, and multicast content delivery (IP video, software deployment�etc). The DGS-3024 provides advanced security features such as 802.1x port based access control, and support for RADIUS and TACACS+* servers. Investment Protection
With support for up to (4) SFP modules, the DGS-3024 can easily adapt to changes in customer media requirements without the need to perform an expensive �forklift� upgrade. By supporting SFP/mini GBIC modules, customers can migrate to more advanced solutions in the future, while still protecting a portion of their original investment. * Avaible through free firmware upgrade in Q2/2005 |
