D-Link xStack DXS-3227P Wireless-Ready Switch

D-Link's xStack 3200 series Switches are designed to provide effortless wireless technology convergence with traditional Layer 2 data access switching, emphasizing on security, performance, and resiliency. Featuring the latest stacking technology from D-Link, the xStack DXS-3227P can stack up to 32 units, providing up to 768 Gigabit ports. It can stack with other D-Link switches advocating extraordinary flexibility. It provides 24 built-in copper Gigabit ports, including 4 combo SFP ports for easy, flexible connection to fiber-based Gigabit media. The DXS-3227P is also equipped with 2 module slots that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet for both copper CX-4 and fiber XFP connections, as well as 1 fixed 10GbE XFP port. 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 also supports IP static routing, 4000 VLANs, up to 64 trunk groups, and is 'wireless-ready', making the DXS-3227P the most feature-rich, high capacity switching solution in its class by far.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. 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 deployed in real-time inventory, data mining, and an array of personal electronics that demands mobility and seamless integration such as PDA and 3G/VOIP mobile phones. The DXS-3227P may become a wireless switch providing secure, seamless roaming between access points ensuring clear, uninterrupted data and voice communication throughout your wireless network infrastructure.The DXS-3227P is equipped to handle many of today's emerging security vulnerabilities previously delegated to only stand-alone firewalls. It incorporates built-in ACLs for searching out and filtering such threats as: Denial of Service attacks, Trojan Horses, Worms, and more. Other access rules can also be set up to prevent network, and 802.1x authentication login. In addition, port-based security can also be set up to protect the integrity of the network. Furthermore, the DXS-3227P protects against attacks towards the CPU itself, and improves utilization to meet existing network demands to maximize device responsiveness to user configuration activities. In addition, well-known port numbers for allowed applications can be pre-programmed, which will allow these applications faster service, and reduce the load on the CPU.The DXS-3227P provides a robust and consistent set of QoS/CoS, supporting 8 priority queues for 802.1p/ToS/DiffServ, with classification and marking based on MAC SA/DA, IP SA/DA, and/or TCP/UDP. It also provides extensive support for GARP/ GVRP, 802.1q, and port-based VLANs for up to 4000 groups per device.Wherever the location - factory, warehouse, campus, small office, or enterprise facility - the challenge and cost of running power to difficult-to-reach locations in order to meet network design can become a disruption to business and a drain on resources. To solve this problem, the DXS-3227P is equipped with 24 10/100/1000BASE-T ports that support the 802.3af PoE protocol. The DXS-3227P is designed to inject up to 15.4 Watts of power per port on all 24 RJ-45 ports to support IP Phones, Access Points, Cameras, and more. The DXS-3227P provides amazing security and flexibility when utilizing the DXS-3227P's 'wireless switching' features. When used to power 802.3af compliant wireless access points, this 'wireless-ready' switch transforms into a complete wireless enterprise solution. For devices that are not 802.3af compliant, the D-Link DWL-P50 adapter can be used to supply power to the device making it fully compatible with any 802.3af compliant switch. The DXS-3227P is ideal for today's popular PoE applications. Best of all with 15.4 Watts of total power per port, the DXS-3227P will be capable of providing power to future high wattage 802.3af devices such as monitors, scanners, PDA cradles, cell phone chargers and more, insuring a future proof network for years to come.
