1 Product Overview

1.1 Product Overview

The DGS-3610 series is a new generation of 10G multi-layer chassis switch developed by
D-Link that features high performance, high-security, intelligence and ease of use. The
DGS-3610 switch provides flexible media interfaces, which accommodate various media for
connection in networking. In addition, this series can be flexibly expanded with various 10G
modules to offer high expandability and meet the needs for large bandwidth. The hardware
of this series supports multi-layer wire-speed switching and provides a full range of perfect
routing protocols to meet the requirement for multi-routing and high performance of
large-scale networks.

The DGS-3610 provides the intelligent service flow classification from layer 2 to layer 7,
perfect QoS and multicast application management feature. While providing high
performance and intelligence, this series features excellent internal safety protection and
user management, which effectively prevent and control virus spreading and network attacks,
prevent illegal users from accessing the network, and ensure that legal users can
reasonably use network resources. This guarantees the safe and reasonable use and
operation of the network. Additionally, this series allow diversified safe control policies to be
implemented according to the actual network environments.

The DGS-3610 switches provide large network convergence and medium-sized network
cores with multi-layer switching, perfect end-to-end QoS, flexible and rich security settings
and policy-based NM, at a high performance-price-ratio, best meeting the requirements of
enterprise networks for high speed, security, and intelligence.

Currently, DGS-3610 series covers three types so as to meet kinds of application of users:
 DGS-3610-26: 24 10/100/1000M adaptive RJ45 ports, multiplexing 12 1000M SFP

ports. Two back extended 10G ports.

 DGS-3610-26G: 24 1000M SFP ports, multiplexing 12 10/100/1000M adaptive RJ45

ports. Two back extended 10G ports.

 DGS-3610-50P: 48 10/100/1000M RJ45 ports, 4 combo 1000M SFP ports and 2 10G

extension slots.

Applications:

 Convergence layers of large networks or the backbones of medium-sized networks;

 Upgrade to the 10G uplink backbone network by simply adding 10G modules for

protecting user investment;

 Scenarios where numerous 1000M ports are needed to provide high-performance data

processing;

 High-performance multi-layer switching solutions;
 Rich security management mechanism to offer network security protection,

high-security access control and effective network access control;

 Perfect use of management policies to help the management of bandwidth and ensure

the application of key services such as voice, multicast audio/video service and VOD

1.2 Technical Features of DGS-3610

Series

1.2.1 Product Features

High-performance multilayer switching

 High backbone bandwidth provides non-blocking feature to all ports;
 Abundant and perfect routing capability as well as super-large routing table can satisfy

dynamic routing of large-scale networks.

 The routing forwarding based on LPM hardware makes DGS-3610 Series not only fit for

large-scale networks, but also prevent the attack of network virus. It can ensure the
wire-speed forwarding of telegrams and the security of equipments.

 The DGS-3610 series can support multi-layer wire-speed switching in hardware; can

identify the application data flow from layers 2 to 7. All ports have the ability to filter the
packet independently, to distinguish different application flows, to manage and control
according to different flows.

Flexible and perfect security control

 It has many internal mechanisms to efficiently protect and control the spread of virus

and attacks of hackers, like the prevention of DoS attack, IP spanning, thus return a
peace space to network;

 Flexible binding in hardware between the ports and the MAC address/IP address may

strictly limit the user accesses on the ports.

 Isolating the information exchange between users by setting ports as protected ports,

without needing to occupy the VLAN resources.

 Source-IP-address-control-based Telnet and Web equipment access control reinforces

the security of the network management and stops the malicious attack and
manipulation of equipment by hackers.

 Broadcast storm suppression based on port rate percentage and rate PPS to ensure

network security;
