Switch Description
The DXS-3600 Series switch is a switch designed to meet the needs and requirements Data Center networks that
require Top-of-Rack access switches and Enterprise/Campus aggregation switches, where low latency and high
bandwidth capacity is essential. The switch is a fully managed Layer 2, for Standard Image (SI) mode, and Layer 3,
for Enhanced Image (EI) mode, switch. With support for IPv4 static and dynamic routing and a plethora of advanced
security and enhanced QoS features, the switch future proofs your network and provides a seamless migration path to
IPv6.
The DXS-3600 Series, running in the Enhanced Image (EI) mode, is a high-performance Layer 3 switch that provides
advanced Layer 3 routing features such as RIP, OSPF, BGP4, VRRP, up to 5 IP addresses per VLAN, and floating
static routes. Multipath routing (which is the method of establishing multiple paths between given source-destination
nodes within a network) are also features supported on the switch. These added routing features provide redundancy,
load balancing, and improved network utilization for the network.
The DXS-3600 Series incorporates an advanced portfolio of security features designed to protect your network from
malicious attacks. SSH encrypted management guarantee secure private configuration and monitoring when using the
Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Command Line (CLI). IEEE 802.1X ports and MAC-based authentication help
provide added network security by requiring all users attempting to connect to your network to provide a username
and password. This username and password must then be authenticated on a RADIUS or TACACS+ server, ensuring
only authorized users have access to the network. Access Control Lists (ACL) based on Layers 2/3/4, Rate Limiting,
and Guest VLANs provide even more control over what and how users access the network.
The DXS-3600 Series facilitates the deployment of enterprise applications such as VoIP, streaming media, and
multicast content delivery such as IP video conferencing and software deployment with enhanced enterprise features
such as L2/L3/L4 QoS, IGMP and MLD snooping, 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree, 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree group,
802.3ad Link Aggregation, and 802.1Q VLANs.
