Overview
The DWS-3160 is D-Link’s latest Unied L2+ Gigabit Wired/Wireless Switch.
Designed to be the ideal mobility solution for medium-sized and large enterprises
and service providers, the DWS-3160 empowers administrators to exercise total
control over their wireless networks by centralising all aspects of provisioning and
management. Able to manage up to 48 D-Link Unied Access Points by itself and
up to 192 in a switch cluster, the DWS-3160 can be congured to act either as a
Wireless Controller in the core network, or as an L2+ Gigabit Switch at the edge,
enabling it to be seamlessly integrated into any existing network infrastructure.
Simplied Management
TheDWS-3160isable to centraliseall criticalWLANmanagement,therebyeliminating
theneedtomanageAccessPoints(AP)individually.Theadministratorsimplyassignsa
prole to an individual D-Link Unied AP, and the conguration corresponding to that
prole would be applied onto that AP automatically. In addition, the DWS-3160 can
apply new rmware to all D-Link Unied Access Points on the network, thus greatly
simplifyingtheupgradeprocess.
Besides its wireless capabilities, the DWS-3160 also excels as an advanced L2+ switch.
CompletewithRIPv1/v2dynamicrouting,ACLsecurity,multilayerQoS,comprehensive
VLAN support, as well as Multicast Snooping capabilities, the DWS-3160 enables easy

Trusted Security
The DWS-3160 oers a state-of-the-art Wireless Intrusion Detection System
(WIDS),whichempowersadministratorstodetectRogueAccessPointsandRogue
Clients, eectively preventing them from causing damage to the network. The
administrator can also activate various threat detections and use Radio Frequency

inadvance.
WhenworkinginconjunctionwithD-LinkUniedAccessPoints,VirtualAPsmay
beeasilyconguredandmanaged,allowingtheadministratortoassigndierent

added measure of protection is added with an advanced Captive Portal, thus
enablingonlyauthoriseduserstoutilisethewirelessnetwork.Onthewiredside,
theDWS-3160 utilises ACL(AccessControlLists)to tightly control what goes in
andoutofthenetworkbysettingupanumberofsimplerules.Alongwithother
advancedsecurityfeatures,suchas802.1xNetworkAccessControlandadvanced
Denial-of-Service Protection, the DWS-3160 provides robust and centralised
security,ensuringmaximumnetworkreliability.
Network Resiliency
When a number of Access Points are deployed close to each other, interference
mayresultifproperRFmanagementisnotimplemented.TheDWS-3160isaware
ofhowtheradiospectrumisbeingutilisedinthenetworkandwillautomatically
assignthemostoptimizedchanneltoeachAccessPointunderitsmanagement.
ThisgreatlyreducesRFinterferenceandwillallowtheadministratortodeployAPs
moredensely.
Tofurtherminimiseinterference,whenanumberofAccessPointsareoperatingon
thesamechannelwithincloseproximityofeachother,theDWS-3160willreduce

if they are managed by the same DWS-3160 switch, even if they are not in the
same subnet. Because the DWS-3160 employs various mechanisms such as
preauthentication and key-caching, wireless users can freely roam the entire
