D-Link DXS-3610-54S Layer 3 Stackable 10G and 100G Managed Switch

A Resilient Core for High-Bandwidth Networks The DXS-3610-54S brings fibre access and aggregation together with six 40/100GbE uplink ports in a 1U rack switch. Its 2.16 Tbps switching capacity and up to 1607.04 Mpps forwarding support busy enterprise and campus aggregation networks where multiple services meet. Dedicated management connections help keep administration separate from production traffic. This Standard Image configuration includes two front-to-back AC power supplies and five front-to-back fan modules. Hardware stacking, ring protection, VLANs, routing and traffic controls support a deliberately engineered network. Enhanced Image functions, including BGP and MPLS, require the appropriate additional licence; compatible optics, DACs and network configuration are selected for the actual deployment. Highlights Network Interfaces 48 × 1/10GbE SFP/SFP+ slots. 6 × 40/100GbE QSFP+/QSFP28 ports. Dedicated Gigabit management, RJ-45 console and USB 2.0 Type-A ports. Performance and Resilience 2.16 Tbps switching and up to 1607.04 Mpps forwarding. 32 MB packet buffer; hardware stacking up to 12 switches. Two included AC supplies and five modular fans with front-to-back airflow. Software and Installation Standard Image included, with static routing, RIP/RIPng, OSPF and VRRP. Enhanced Image functions require a separately licensed upgrade. 19-inch 1U rack format and 5-year warranty. Key Features Connect the Aggregation Layer 48 × 1/10GbE SFP/SFP+ slots serve the optical links selected for your access network. Six additional QSFP+/QSFP28 ports support 40GbE or 100GbE connections. Plan each port mode and select supported cables or modules rather than assuming every connector provides every speed. Capacity for Concurrent Traffic A 2.16 Tbps switching fabric, up to 1607.04 Mpps forwarding and a 32 MB packet buffer provide the hardware resources for demanding aggregation. Resource profiles affect the allocation of forwarding tables, so quoted maximum table sizes are not simultaneous guarantees. Size the configuration around the traffic and route scale that the network actually requires. Build a Tested Redundant Network Physical stacking supports up to 12 units and up to 1.2 Tbps stacking bandwidth with supported connections. ERPS, spanning tree and link aggregation offer additional ways to design recovery paths. Resilience depends on the topology, configuration and failure testing; these functions do not remove the need for separate power and upstream planning. Modular Power and Cooling The supplied configuration includes two AC power modules and five fan modules with front-to-back airflow. The 1+1 power design supports redundancy and load sharing, while hot-swappable cooling modules simplify service. Maintain the correct airflow direction, rack ventilation and service access, and follow the hardware guide when replacing a module. Keep the Software Entitlement Clear Standard Image includes a substantial Layer 2 and Layer 3 feature set, including VLANs, QoS, access controls, static routes, RIP/RIPng, OSPF and VRRP. Enhanced Image adds functions such as BGP, advanced Layer 3 multicast and MPLS through a separate model-specific licence. Specify the required routing features before deployment rather than assuming all advertised series capabilities are included. Manage With Visibility and Control Web management, CLI, SNMP, sFlow, logs, LLDP and diagnostic tools support operation and fault finding. A separate Gigabit management interface and console provide administration paths independent of ordinary traffic ports. Configure secure management access, monitoring and saved recovery configurations as part of commissioning, rather than leaving the switch at its default settings. Summary The DXS-3610-54S is a high-density aggregation switch for networks that need flexible fibre access, 100G uplinks and serviceable power and cooling. Match the port media, included Standard Image and any required licence upgrade to a tested network design. Frequently Asked Questions What Is Included With This Configuration?ExpandCollapse The switch is supplied with Standard Image, two front-to-back AC power supply modules and five front-to-back fan modules. Network transceivers and DACs are selected separately for the required connections. Does It Include BGP and MPLS?ExpandCollapse No. Those Enhanced Image functions require the appropriate model-specific Standard-to-Enhanced Image licence. Standard Image already includes static routes, RIP/RIPng, OSPF and VRRP. Confirm the exact feature requirements before ordering a software upgrade. Can the Uplink Ports Be Used for Stacking?ExpandCollapse Yes. Supported 100G connections can form a physical stack of up to 12 switches, with up to 1.2 Tbps stacking bandwidth. The selected ports, topology, cables and configuration determine the actual stack. Does It Supply PoE Power?ExpandCollapse No. This is a data switch, not a PoE access switch. Cameras, wireless access points and other powered devices need a suitable PoE switch, injector or separate supply. Can I Use Any SFP or QSFP Module?ExpandCollapse No universal module compatibility is promised. Check the exact module, switch hardware revision, firmware, port speed and operating-temperature conditions against the supported list. Some copper SFP+ modules have additional quantity and temperature limits. Is It Suitable for a Quiet Office Desk?ExpandCollapse It is designed for a ventilated equipment rack and uses active cooling. Fan noise is substantial and varies with hardware revision and operating conditions. Plan a suitable equipment room rather than a quiet desk installation. Magbasa pa
