D-Link DXS-3600-32S 24-Port 10G SFP+ Layer 3 Managed Switch

A Flexible 10G Fibre Core for Demanding Networks The D-Link DXS-3600-32S brings 24 fixed 10G SFP+ ports and a dedicated expansion slot to enterprise aggregation and server networks. Its 1U rackmount design combines wire-speed switching with modular cooling and power, helping you build a network around the connections and resilience your applications need. Choose Standard Image for Layer 2 services and static routing, or Enhanced Image for advanced dynamic routing, Layer 3 multicast and MPLS capabilities. Both editions use the same hardware platform; the selected edition determines the available software features. Highlights High-Speed Fibre Connectivity 24 fixed 10G SFP+ ports and one expansion slot 960 Gbps switching capacity and up to 714.28 Mpps forwarding Dedicated Gigabit out-of-band management and RJ-45 console ports The Right Software Edition Standard Image includes VLANs, QoS, security, Data Center Bridging and static routing Enhanced Image adds dynamic IPv4/IPv6 routing, Layer 3 multicast and MPLS Edition selection is a software capability choice, with a model-specific upgrade available for Standard Image A Serviceable Rack Platform One AC power supply and three front-to-back fan trays are included Hot-swappable power and fan modules simplify maintenance A second compatible power module enables redundant power and load sharing Key Features Build Around the Ports You Need The fixed 24-port SFP+ layout suits fibre links between network equipment, servers and storage. The expansion slot lets you add the appropriate interface module when the network needs more connections. This is an unpopulated expansion slot; an expansion module is purchased separately. Match each transceiver or direct attach cable to the required speed, distance, fibre type and connected device. Keep Hardware and Software Choices Clear Standard Image provides the switching, VLAN, multicast snooping, access control and static-routing functions needed in many aggregation designs. Enhanced Image extends the platform with functions including RIP/RIPng, OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, VRRP, Layer 3 multicast and MPLS. Select the edition that matches the routing design rather than assuming every listed protocol is enabled in both editions. Plan for Resilience Without Overstating the Package The switch is supplied with one AC power supply and three front-to-back fan trays. Its power architecture supports a second compatible module for 1+1 redundancy and load sharing. The fan system supports 2+1 redundancy, with temperature-responsive fan speed. A single included power supply does not by itself provide redundant power; add a suitable second module when the application requires it. Expand With Purpose-Built Modules Compatible interface options include DXS-3600-EM-8XS for eight additional 10G SFP+ ports, DXS-3600-EM-4XT for four 10GBASE-T ports, DXS-3600-EM-8T for eight Gigabit copper ports and DXS-3600-EM-4QXS for four 40G QSFP+ ports. These modules occupy the expansion slot and are separate purchases. DXS-PWR300AC is the compatible front-to-back AC power module. Design the Stack for the Selected Hardware For a compatible physical stack, the DXS-3600-EM-Stack module provides two 120G CXP connections. Up to four switches can function together, with up to 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth. The alternative DXS-3600-EM-4QXS option supports 40G stacking links with up to 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth. Stacking modules, suitable cables and any required transceivers are separate. Manage Traffic and Operations Together Data Center Bridging features include Priority-based Flow Control, Enhanced Transmission Selection and Congestion Notification. Alongside VLANs, link aggregation, spanning tree, access controls and traffic prioritisation, these features help tailor traffic handling to the network design. Web management, CLI, SNMP and dedicated management connections support ongoing monitoring and administration. Allow for Rack Depth and Airflow The chassis measures 440 ×506 ×44 mm and weighs 10.71 kg. Allow room for cables, ventilation and safe mounting in a suitable 19-inch rack. The supplied AC power arrangement accepts 100–240 V at50/60 Hz. This is a non-PoE fibre switch; it does not supply power to access points, cameras or other PoE devices. Summary Choose the D-Link DXS-3600-32S when you need a serviceable 24-port 10G fibre platform with a clear upgrade path for interfaces and routing functions. Select the software edition, compatible optics and any expansion or redundant-power components together, so the completed system matches the intended network. Frequently Asked Questions What Is the Difference Between Standard Image and Enhanced Image?ExpandCollapse Standard Image provides Layer 2 switching services, VLANs, QoS, security, Data Center Bridging and static routing. Enhanced Image adds advanced dynamic routing, Layer 3 multicast and MPLS functions. A compatible model-specific Standard-to-Enhanced upgrade licence is for a Standard Image unit; it is not required again when buying Enhanced Image. How Many Ports Are Included in the DXS-3600-32S?ExpandCollapse It has 24 fixed 10G SFP+ ports and one expansion slot. The model name does not mean that an additional expansion module is supplied. A dedicated Gigabit management port and RJ-45 console port provide management access. Does It Include Redundant Power Supplies?ExpandCollapse One AC power supply and three front-to-back fan trays are included. The chassis supports a second compatible power module for 1+1 redundancy and load sharing. The second power module is purchased separately. Are Fibre Transceivers and Expansion Modules Included?ExpandCollapse No. Select compatible SFP/SFP+ transceivers or direct attach cables for the required link. Expansion modules, additional power modules and stacking components are separate purchases. Match the fibre type, distance, speed and equipment at both ends. Can This Model Be Stacked?ExpandCollapse Yes. Up to four switches can form a compatible physical stack using the appropriate expansion modules and links. The DXS-3600-EM-Stack option provides up to 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth, while DXS-3600-EM-4QXS-based stacking supports up to 160 Gbps. Modules and cables are separate. Does It Power PoE Devices?ExpandCollapse No. This is a non-PoE fibre switch. Cameras, access points and other powered devices require a suitable PoE switch, injector or their own supported power supply. 続きを読む
