D-Link’s DXS-3400 Series Layer 3 Stackable 10 GbE Managed Switches are compact, high-performance switches that feature wire speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet switching, routing, and ultra-low latency. The 1U height and high port density make the DXS-3400 Series suitable for enterprise and campus environments where space is at a premium. 10GbE copper and fiber versions are available.

High Availability and Flexibility

The DXS-3400 Series switches feature modular fans and power supplies for a high availability architecture. The hot-swappable design means that fans and power supplies can be replaced without affecting switch operation. Physical and virtual switch stacking allows the switches to be managed from a single IP address and provides redundancy for connected devices. The Switch Resource Management (SRM) feature allows the hardware table size to be changed, so that switch functions can be optimized based on the application. The DXS-3400 Series switches support 3 modes – IP Mode, LAN Mode and L2 VPN Mode – which modify the size of the Layer 2 and 3 tables for optimum efficiency.

Standard and Enhanced Software Images

The DXS-3400 Series switches include the Standard Image (SI) software, and for additional functionality, they may be upgraded to the Enhanced Image (EI) software with a separately ordered license upgrade. The Standard Image provides core SMB and SME functionality, such as L2 switching, entry-level routing, L2 multicast, advanced Quality of Service (QoS), Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM), and robust security features. The Enhanced Image supports all Standard Image features, in addition to advanced L3 routing for enterprise integration, including OSPFv2/v3, IPv6 Tunneling, and multicast features such as IGMP, MLD, DVMRPv3, and Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP).
