D-Link’s DES-3526 is a high-performance, managed, stackable Layer 2 switch that provides an ideal solution for workgroups and departments. The D-Link Single IP Management (SIM) allows to cluster up a virtual stack of up to 32 DES-3526 and/or DES-3550 dispersed switches with fewer distance limitation through a single IP address. The clustering environment spans buildings, making it perfect for business that requires multiple building deployment. The (24) 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports allow desktops to access network resources through flexible 2 Gig uplinks. The entire virtual stack can be managed via a single IP address for simplified network administration.
Utilizing an 8.8Gbps switch capacity and support for 8,000 MAC addresses, the DES-3526 Stackable Layer 2 Switch is a wire-speed, high performance switch ideal for workgroups or departments. The DES-3526 supports port trunking with up to 6 trunk groups with 2 to 8 ports in each group per stack. Port trunking enables business users to increase availability and aggregated bandwidth between servers and/or other switches, optimizing the transport of business critical data. The DES-3526 can utilize either the 10/100Mbps or the 1 Gbps port to interconnect up to 32 units within a virtual stack.
