D-Link DGS-3630-52TC 52-Port Gigabit Stackable Managed Switch

An Organised Foundation for Business Connectivity The DGS-3630-52TC combines 44 dedicated Gigabit copper ports, four Gigabit copper/SFP combo ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. It suits business access and aggregation networks that need clearly planned connections, central administration and room to expand. The data-only design connects equipment with its own power source. Physical stacking links up to nine compatible switches, while VLANs, access controls and entry-level routing support an organised network. Software image and firmware determine the available routing features; advanced capabilities must be specified with the appropriate licence. Highlights Connections and Throughput 44 dedicated Gigabit copper ports. 4 × Gigabit copper/SFP combo ports and 4 × 10G SFP+ uplinks. 176 Gbps switching capacity; up to 130.95 Mpps forwarding. Network Control Up to nine switches in a physical stack with up to 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth. VLANs, ACLs, static routing and browser/CLI administration. Standard, Enhanced and MPLS software images provide different feature levels. Power and Installation Non-PoE ports; connected devices require their own power source. 19-inch 1U rackmount design with smart cooling fans. 5-year warranty. Key Features Connect the Right Mix of Devices 44 dedicated Gigabit copper ports provide the main access connections. Four combo positions add a choice of Gigabit copper or SFP for each logical port. A combo position uses one medium at a time, so the visible alternative connectors do not create extra independently usable ports. Give Aggregated Traffic a 10GbE Path Four SFP+ slots support 10GbE uplinks using separately selected supported optics or direct-attach cables. Plan uplink and stacking assignments together: a port dedicated to a stack connection is no longer an ordinary uplink. Fibre type, cable length and the remote interface must match the chosen module. Expand With a Consistent Stack Up to nine compatible switches can form a physical stack, with up to 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth. Members must use the same software image version and supported firmware. Ring and chain topologies allow a deliberate expansion design; commission and test the complete topology before relying on its resilience. Choose the Software Capability You Need Standard Image covers Layer 2 switching and entry-level routing, including IPv4/IPv6 static routing and RIP. Some additional routing functions depend on firmware. Enhanced Image adds the full advanced Layer 3 feature set, while MPLS Image adds service-provider functions. Required image upgrades are separate licences; specify the routing design before ordering. Control Access and Investigate Problems VLANs separate services, ACLs restrict traffic, and 802.1X with RADIUS helps manage network access. Eight traffic queues per port support prioritisation. Web administration, CLI, SNMP and Ethernet OAM give administrators configuration and diagnostic tools. Apply these controls as part of the complete security design, alongside the upstream firewall. Plan Power Resilience The internal AC supply supports normal operation. An optional compatible DPS-500A redundant supply adds a separate power path for a supported installation. It is not a battery backup, so an appropriate UPS is still needed where continuity through a mains outage is required. Summary The DGS-3630-52TC provides Gigabit access, 10GbE uplinks and stackable administration for a structured business network. Specify optics, stacking links, software image and any redundant-power equipment together so the installation matches its traffic and resilience requirements. Frequently Asked Questions How Many Ports Can Be Used at Once?ExpandCollapse There are 44 dedicated access ports, four Gigabit combo ports and four 10G SFP+ slots. Each combo port uses either copper or SFP at a time. Ports allocated to stacking are then occupied by the stack connection. Are Optics and Stacking Cables Included?ExpandCollapse No. Supported transceivers, direct-attach cables and stacking connections are selected separately for the required fibre, speed and distance. Are Advanced Routing Licences Included?ExpandCollapse This base offer does not include a separately purchased Enhanced or MPLS upgrade. Standard Image provides entry-level routing. Full advanced Layer 3 and MPLS functions require the appropriate image; confirm the required protocol and firmware before ordering. Can I Stack Different Software Images?ExpandCollapse No. Physical stack members must run the same image version, with supported firmware and connections. The manufacturer specifies up to nine switches in one physical stack. Does It Supply Power to Endpoints?ExpandCollapse No. This is a non-PoE model. Connected devices require their own power source or a separately chosen injector. What Does the Optional Redundant Supply Provide?ExpandCollapse A compatible DPS-500A provides a separate power path if the switch’s internal supply fails. It is purchased separately and does not provide battery backup during a mains outage. 続きを読む
