Chassis Based Switches
The D-Link’s DGS-6600 series chassis-based switches
are intelligent and high-performance multi-layer
LAN devices designed for Enterprise local area
networks (LAN). They are ideal for deployment in
environments that require uninterrupted running
of network applications and a high level of
performance, security and control.
Featuring a exible modular architecture and
industry standard compliance, these switches
provide scalable expansion and a high level of
investment protection for businesses to deploy
Gigabit and 10-Gigabit packet switching and
routing for oce networking and Ethernet-based
Internet services to homes.
The DGS-6600 series is equipped with high-speed
switch fabric, and advanced software functions,
including complete IPv6 support. These switches
provide the performance, high availability and
future proof architecture suitable for applications of
not just today, but those of the future.
Flexible Modular Design
The DGS-6600 series is now available in a 4-slot
chassis model, the DGS-6604. One open slot is
reserved for a control module, and the other
three slots can be tted with user-selectable port
modules. In addition to these open slots, there are
four slots for redundant backup power supplies, and
one slot for a replaceable fan module. This modular
architecture allows modules to be gradually added
to meet network growth, and modules can be
easily swapped anytime to t network requirement
changes.
Deployable as an Aggregation Switch
Using a common set of modules for
10/100/1000BASE-T ports, PoE support, SFP, and
10-Gigabit uplinks, IT personnel can t a DGS-6600
series switch with dierent port types and deploy
it as an aggregation (i.e. distribution) switch which
can provide high port density connections to
workstations in an oce environment.
High Performance
The DGS-6604 4-slot switch provides a switch
capacity of up to 576 Gbps and system
performance of up to 428.57 Mpps. To make use
of this high performance hardware, these switches
utilize a distributed switching method where each
line card (the port module that directly connects
to the network nodes) intelligently determines
the switch path for each data packet. The switches
synchronize the switching and routing information
between the control cards and the line cards to
map out the fastest data transfer path. With each
line card capable of performing L2/3/4 on-board
packet switching without relying on the control
cards, the DGS-6600 series switches can deliver
very fast packet forwarding without using the back
plane.
High Port Densities
Port densities can reach 144 Gigabit or 24
10-Gigabit ports per 4-slot chassis. All port modules
are hot-swappable without requiring changes to
any hardware or software settings. By providing up
to 24 10GE ports with each port running at nonblocking rates, it can help enterprises migrate to a
10G backbone.
High Availability
The DGS-6604 provides up to 4 redundant load
sharing power supplies and a hot swappable fan
module to create a very highly available chassis
based device suitable for mission-critical network
applications.
Application Convergence
The DGS-6600 series combines high-speed
hardware with software functions such as prioritized
trac QoS and multicast routing to deliver the
performance needed for real-time applications such
b u s i n e s s
Chassis Based Switches
Chassis Based Switches DGS-6600 Series
as Internet telephony, streaming multimedia, and
IPTV. In addition, these switches oer Power over
Ethernet (PoE) solutions to provide both electrical
power and network connectivity to PoE-capable
devices, such as IP phones and wireless APs, and are
ideal for large-scale enterprise edge deployment.
An example of this application convergence would
be VoIP for mobile users via wireless access points
connected through the DGS-6600 series switches.
Complete IPv6 Support
The DGS-6600 series provides complete support for
IPv6 to accommodate the potential huge increase
in number of users and geographical needs of
Internet expansion. It addresses the requirements
of emerging applications such as Internet-enabled
wireless devices, home and industrial appliances,
Internet-connected transportation, integrated
telephony services, sensor networks, and distributed
computing or gaming. The use of globally unique
IPv6 addresses simplies the mechanisms used
for reachability and end-to-end security for
network devices. This is crucial for the applications
and services that are driving the demand for IP
addresses.
Enterprise-Wide Security
The DGS-6600 series provides not only network
access security but also protection against virus and
worm attacks. Access security is provided through
comprehensive policy-based ACL, port security,
and IP-MAC-Port binding features. Attacks hidden
behind control protocols are thwarted, preventing
the switch’s CPU from being overwhelmed with
unnecessary tasks which can cause degradation
to a network’s performance. The DGS-6600 series
extends security to network management via
such functions as SSH v2 and SNMP v3 with
authentication and encryption of management
trac.
Trac Management for Triple Play
The DGS-6600 Series implements a rich set of
multilayer QoS/CoS features including ow-based
bandwidth control and broadcast/multicast storm
control to ensure that critical network services such
as VoIP, video conferencing, IPTV, and IP surveillance
are served with high priority. Bandwidth control
guarantees bandwidth of these services when the
network is busy. With L2 Multicast support, the DGS6600 series is capable of handling growing IPTV
applications.
D-Link Green Technology
D-Link is striving to take the lead in developing
innovative and power-saving technology that
does not sacrice operational performance or
functionality. The DGS-6600 series incorporates
D-Link Green Technology, which includes a power
saving mode, Smart Fan, and Time-based PoE. The
power saving feature automatically powers down
ports that have no link or link partner. The Smart Fan
feature allows for the built-in fans to automatically
adjust their speed if a specied temperature is
exceeded, providing continuous, reliable and ecofriendly operation of the switch. Time-based PoE is
able to turn PoE on/o per port by a pre-dened
time prole to reduce PoE power consumption.
