D-Link DES-3226L Overview
The D-Link DES-3226L software has two purposes:
Assist attached hardware in switching frames.
Provide a complete device management portfolio to the network administrator.
Scope
The D-Link DES-3226L encompasses both hardware and software support. The software is partitioned
to run in the following processors:
CPU
This code runs the networking device management portfolio and controls the overall networking
device hardware. It also assists in frame forwarding, as needed and specified.
Networking device processor
This code does the majority of the packet switching, usually at wire speed.
Product Concept
Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet switching continues to evolve from high-end backbone applications
to desktop switching applications. The price of the technology continues to decline, while performance
and feature sets continue to improve. The D-Link DES-3226L provides a flexible solution to these ever-
increasing needs.
The D-Link DES-3226L provides the network administrator with a set of comprehensive management
functions for managing both the switch and the network. The network administrator has a choice of
three management methods:
Web-based
VT100 interface
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Each of the D-Link DES-3226L management methods enables the network administrator to configure,
manage, and control the D-Link DES-3226L locally or remotely by using in-band or out-of-band
mechanisms. Management is standards-based, with configuration parameters and a private MIB
providing control for functions not completely specified in the MIBs.
