IP Clustering Stackable
The xStack DES-3528 provides D-Link Single IP Management
Technology (SIM), allowing a set of switches to be managed
by a single IP, regardless of geographical locations. Traffic
running among units in this virtual stack goes through the
full-duplex Gigabit interfaces and your usual network wires,
doing away with the costly and cumbersome stacking
cables. Without any stacking cable, cable distance barrier,
and physical stacking limitations, your stack can comprise of
units that are located anywhere on the network, minimizing
the impact of any single point of failure. Furthermore,
multiple xStack switches can be configured, monitored and
maintained from any workstation running a web browser
through one unique IP address. The stack is managed as a
single object, with all units identified by a single IP address.
With Tree View, you can obtain an overview of the members
of the stack and a network topology showing the locations
of the units and their link information. This provides simple
yet powerful web-based management without expensive
SNMP network management software. You can add up to
32 switches per stack and are not limited to any specific
D-Link models. With embedded SIM, you can expand your
Ethernet stack to include L3 core Gigabit and chassis-based
switches to accommodate your network growth.
Voice and Video Applications
For today's businesses, having voice, data and video on the
same network is common practice. This challenge is met by
the DES-3528, which supports 802.1p with eight queues. The
administrator can designate the priority of the traffic based
on a variety of means including IP or MAC address, so
that voice data is always clear and jitter-free. Video traffic
can also be assigned with the same priority. In addition,

the DES-3528 provides IGMP Snooping or MLD Snooping,
which allows the forwarding of multicast packets such as
streaming audio and video, without increasing network
broadcast congestion. By snooping IGMP registration
information within a frame, a list of workstations in the
multicast group is created. This list then allows the switch to
intelligently forward packets to only the appropriate member
workstations. In conjunction with the 802.1Q VLANs, Quality
of Service and security can be achieved on a network
infused with data traffic.
For other multimedia-on-demand applications, such as IPTV
deployments, the DES-3528 provides advanced features
for easy video streaming management. For example, this
xStack family supports per port multicast stream control,
which allows a service provider to assign limited multicast
addresses per port. This means it can act as a security
control that pre-configures channels for each subscriber
on a port level to prevent unauthorized hosts from receiving
traffic for a multicast group they did not join. DES-3528
also supports IGMP multicast VLAN, which eliminates
duplicate multicast traffic being sent to clients in different
VLANs, thus removing bottlenecks in the uplink port.
Ease of Management
The DES-3528 supports SNMP v1/2c/3 so traps can be
set on abnormal events and information can be polled to
maximize the productivity of the network. Other standard
management features are also supported including
RMON and IEEE 802.1D/w/s spanning tree. User interface
includes an intuitive web-based browser graphic interface
or industry-standard CLI, either of which can be protected
through SSL or SSH encryptions.
