DXS-3227P
xStack Managed 24-Port Gigabit Stackable L2+ PoE Switch
®
with 4 Combo SFP, 1 Fixed XFP Slot, and 2 10-Gigabit Slots
Overview
The D-Link xStack 3200 Series switches are designed
® ®
to provide effortless wireless convergence with traditional
Layer 2 data access switching, emphasizing security,
performance, and resiliency. Featuring the latest stacking
technology, the DXS-3227P can stack up to eight units,
providing up to 200 Gigabit ports. It can stack with other
D-Link switches, such as the DXS-3250 and DXS/DWS-3227,
providing extraordinary flexibility. It provides 24 built-in
copper Gigabit ports that support the 802.3af PoE
protocol, including four combo SFP slots for easy, flexible
connection to fiber-based Gigabit media. The DXS-3227P
is also equipped with two module slots that support
10-Gigabit Ethernet for both copper CX-4 and fiber XFP
connections, as well as one fixed 10-Gigabit XFP slot.
When stacking through CX-4 interfaces, a stacking
bandwidth of 48Gbps can be achieved, for a total
switching fabric capacity of up to 120Gbps. In addition,
the DXS-3227P supports IP static routing, 4000 VLANs,
up to 64 trunk groups, and is wireless-ready, providing
wireless roaming, centralized AP management, and
rogue AP detection in a single switching solution.
Unified Wired/Wireless Ready
In a mixed network of wired and wireless environments,
predictable coverage and security become paramount.
The need for a switching solution capable of addressing
these needs in both the wired and wireless environment
becomes key. The DXS-3227P is capable of meeting this
demand and more. With a simple, optional firmware
upgrade, the DXS-3227P transforms from a standard Layer
2 switch into an integrated wired and wireless switching
solution capable of providing powerful wireless security,
easy deployment, the ability to detect rogue access
points, and centralized management for all compatible
WLAN components. Centralized management is crucial
for wireless technologies used in real-time inventory,
data mining, and an array of personal electronics that
demand mobility and seamless integration such as PDA
and 3G/VoIP mobile phones. With an optional software
upgrade, the DXS-3227P becomes a wireless switch,
providing secure, seamless roaming between access
points and ensuring clear, uninterrupted data and voice
communication throughout your wireless network
infrastructure.
DNA Stacking Architecture
Distributed Networking Architecture (DNA) technology
embedded in the DXS-3227P is a D-Link exclusive:
Switches built with DNA are easily stackable with little
or no system downtime for expansion. They self-
heal by quickly discovering failures in the stack and
re-route traffic to automatically avoid the failed device
and discover the new topology. The flexibility of DNA
lets network designers choose the right topology for
connecting their devices whether it be through a 10 GbE
interface or a 1000Base-X port to connect between wiring
closets. The switch can be used in a number of topologies,
such as ring or chain stacking. When changes are made
to the stack, DNA automatically discovers the new
topology and reconfigures the system to accommodate
the changes. In the unlikely event of equipment failure, the
switches rapidly reconfigure the stack to avoid the failed
switch, resulting in extremely fast failover times and
little to no downtime. In addition, the DXS-3227P allows
the network administrator to maintain transparency of
system features such as Port Mirroring, VLANs, and
Link Aggregation across the stack. Unlike other stacking
solutions, this feature allows an administrator to add and
remove ports from VLANs without having to configure
each switch or the inconvenience of creating VLAN trunks
between devices. Combined with port mirroring, you can
monitor any port throughout the stack without having to be
physically connected to the same device, meaning better
troubleshooting, faster configuration, and a lower risk of
configuration errors.
