The D-Link DXS-3600 Series Top-of-Rack 10 Gigabit Managed Switch are a set of new, compact,
high-performance switches that feature very low latency wire speed 10G Ethernet switching
and routing. The 1U height and selectable front-to-back or back-to-front air ow make the
DXS-3600 Series suitable for enterprise and campus aggregation network environments. The
DXS-3600 Series switches have 8 or 24 xed 10G SFP+ ports and can accommodate more ports
with the addition of an expansion module. The expansion modules not only provide extra
10G SFP+ ports, but also increase exibility by allowing 120G stacking1 or low-cost 10GBASE-T
connections for dierent applications.
Convenient Deployment
The DXS-3600 Series provides your network with high-performance 10G Ethernet switching
capacities of up to 960 Gbps and forwarding rates of up to 714 Mpps. These switches feature
hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays, which enable the switches to have redundant,
high-availability architecture. When inserting two power modules, both power modules
share the load and help to extend the lifetime of the other. The DXS-3600 Series also features
a modular fan design; three fans can back up each other, providing 2+1 redundancy for the
system. If a fan fails or the temperature rises, the smart fans will adjust their speed automatically.
Flexible Software
The DXS-3600 Series can be deployed using one of two dierent software images1. The
Standard Image (SI) features a wide range of Layer 2, VLAN, multicasting, Quality of Service
(QoS), security, data center, and static routing functions. The Enhanced Image (EI) features
comprehensive IPv4/v6 routing including RIP, VRRP, OSPF, BGP, and L3 multicasting features
such as IGMP, MLD, PIM-DM, SM, SDM, SSM, and DVMRP. The Enhanced Image (EI) also supports
L2/L3 MPLS VPN which enables the DXS-3600 Series to be deployed as the core router of an
enterprise environment, or as an aggregation switch in an MPLS environment.

Data Center Features
Data Center Bridging (DCB) is an essential set of enhancements to Ethernet
for networking in data center environments. The DXS-3600 Series switches
support several core components of Data Center Bridging (DCB) such as IEEE
802.1Qbb, IEEE 802.1Qaz, and IEEE 802.1Qau. IEEE 802.1Qbb (Priority-based
Flow Control) provides ow control to ensure there is no data loss during
network congestion. IEEE 802.1Qaz (Enhanced Transmission Selection)
manages the allocation of bandwidth based on dierent trac classes. IEEE
802.1Qau (Congestion Notication) provides congestion management for
data ows within network domains to avoid congestion. The DXS-3600 Series
switches also support cut-through switching, which reduces latency when
transmitting data in a network.
Energy-Ecient
The DXS-3600 Series allows users to manage airow by using dierent
power and fan module congurations. Front-to-back airow optimises air
circulation to provide more eective cooling throughout rack systems in data
centers where the switches are used when compared to side-to-side airow.
The switches also feature built-in smart fans. Internal heat sensors monitor
and detect temperature changes and automatically adjust the fan speed
accordingly. At lower temperatures, the fans will run slower, reducing both
the switch’s power consumption and noise.
