1Product Overview
1.1 Product Overview
The DGS-3610 series is a new generation of 10G multi-layer chassis switch developed by
D-Link that features high performance, high-security, intelligence and ease of use. The
DGS-3610 switch provides flexible media interfaces, which accommodate various media for
connection in networking. In addition, this series can be flexibly expanded with various 10G
modules to offer high expandability and meet the needs for large bandwidth. The hardware
of this series supports multi-layer wire-speed switching and provides a full range of perfect
routing protocols to meet the requirement for multi-routing and high performance of
large-scale networks.
The DGS-3610 provides the intelligent service flow classification from layer 2 to layer 7,
perfect QoS and multicast application management feature. While providing high
performance and intelligence, this series features excellent internal safety protection and
user management, which effectively prevent and control virus spreading and network attacks,
prevent illegal users from accessing the network, and ensure that legal users can
reasonably use network resources. This guarantees the safe and reasonable use and
operation of the network. Additionally, this series allow diversified safe control policies to be
implemented according to the actual network environments.
The DGS-3610 switches provide large network convergence and medium-sized network
cores with multi-layer switching, perfect end-to-end QoS, flexible and rich security settings
and policy-based NM, at a high performance-price-ratio, best meeting the requirements of
enterprise networks for high speed, security, and intelligence.
Currently, DGS-3610 series covers three types so as to meet kinds of application of users:
DGS-3610-26: 24 10/100/1000M adaptive RJ45 ports, multiplexing 12 1000M SFP
ports. Two back extended 10G ports.
DGS-3610-26G: 24 1000M SFP ports, multiplexing 12 10/100/1000M adaptive RJ45
ports. Two back extended 10G ports.
DGS-3610-50P: 48 10/100/1000M RJ45 ports, 4 combo 1000M SFP ports and 2 10G
extension slots.
Applications:
Convergence layers of large networks or the backbones of medium-sized networks;

1.2 Technical Features of DGS-3610
Series
1.2.1 Product Features
High-performance multilayer switching
High backbone bandwidth provides non-blocking feature to all ports;
Abundant and perfect routing capability as well as super-large routing table can satisfy
dynamic routing of large-scale networks.
The routing forwarding based on LPM hardware makes DGS-3610 Series not only fit for
large-scale networks, but also prevent the attack of network virus. It can ensure the
wire-speed forwarding of telegrams and the security of equipments.
The DGS-3610 series can support multi-layer wire-speed switching in hardware; can
identify the application data flow from layers 2 to 7. All ports have the ability to filter the
packet independently, to distinguish different application flows, to manage and control
according to different flows.
Flexible and perfect security control
It has many internal mechanisms to efficiently protect and control the spread of virus
and attacks of hackers, like the prevention of DoS attack, IP spanning, thus return a
peace space to network;
Flexible binding in hardware between the ports and the MAC address/IP address may
strictly limit the user accesses on the ports.
Isolating the information exchange between users by setting ports as protected ports,
without needing to occupy the VLAN resources.
Source-IP-address-control-based Telnet and Web equipment access control reinforces
the security of the network management and stops the malicious attack and
manipulation of equipment by hackers.
Broadcast storm suppression based on port rate percentage and rate PPS to ensure
network security;

DGS-3610 Series H/W Installation Guide Chapter 1 Product Overview
1-3
In order to ensure the security of devices, prevent hackers’ attack and control devices,
SSH (Secure Shell) and SNMPv3 can encrypt management information in the process
of Telnet and SNMP;
It can control the access of unauthorized users and protect the reasonable usage of
legal users, like port security, port isolation, expert level ACL, time ACL, bandwidth
limitation of speed based on data flow, the binding of six elements and so on, so satisfy
the needs of strengthening access control in enterprise networks and campus
networks.
Rich multicast features
It supports dynamic unicast/multicast routing protocols, can adapt different scales of
networks and the environment where need many multicast services, so realizing the
extension of network and multi-service application;
The support of IGMP and source IP checking function can effectively prevent illegal
multicast source and improve the network security.
Support IGMPv1/v2/v3 all versions, adapt to different multi-cast environment, and
satisfy the necessity of multi-cast security application.
Perfect QoS Strategy
With DiffServ standard as the core, QoS safeguard system supports perfect strategies
such as 802.1P, IP TOS, stream filter from 2 to 7 layer, SP, WRR, etc., so realizing QoS
logic based on the multi-service of whole network system;
Providing multi-layer flow classification and flow control covering MAC flow, IP flow, and
application flow, implementing multiple flow policies including bandwidth control,
forwarding priority, traffic management, and traffic shaping, and providing traffic rate
limiting, at the granularity of 64Kbps for 1000M ports and 1Mbps for 10G ports,
according to various applications and their needed QoS
High Reliability
It supports STP 802.1d, 802.1w, 802.1s, fully ensure fast convergence, enhance fault
tolerance capability and guarantee the stable operation of network as well as
reasonable use of network pipeline.
It supports VRRP Virtual routing redundancy protocol, and effectively ensure network
stability.
The DGS-3610 series support optional redundancy power system (DPS-510), which
provides the switches with excellent power redundancy for higher fault tolerance and
normal running time.
Easy to use and manage
The multiplexing multi-gigabit interface can flexibly meet the connection to many gigabit
copper and many gigabit fiber links. This allows users to flexibly choose and achieve
the network extension;

Chapter 1 Product Overview DGS-3610 Series H/W Installation Guide

Supporting smooth upgrade to the 10G backbone by simply adding various 10G
modules to meet flexible expansion and high bandwidth transmission needs;
SNTP can ensure the exact timing of switch and can keep the same with time server. It
is convenient to manage the analysis and diagnosis of journal data and flow data;
Syslog can realize the unified collection, maintenance, analysis, error position and
backup of various log info. It is easy for network administrator to maintain and manage;
Synchronous monitoring of multiple ports makes it possible to monitor the data flows
(incoming frames, outgoing frames or both) on multiple ports just through one of them,
greatly increasing the maintenance efficiency.
CLI interface for use by advanced users to configure; providing multiple upload and
upgrade methods such as Xmodem, FTP, and TFTP;
Java-based Web Management allows users to make the visual interface management

1.4 DGS-3610 10G Extension module
The DGS-3610 series 10G extended port currently supports two types of conversion boards:
DEM-412X: 1-port XFP 10G module. Each module provides one extended 10G XFP
port on the DGS-3610, which supports up to 2 modules. DEM-412X does not support
hot plugging/unplugging, please install or remove it after the switch is powered off.
DEM-412CX: 1-port 10G stack module, used with DEM-CB100CX or DEM-CB300CX
cable, to provide the stack function for the DGS-3610 series switch.
The following diagrams show the appearances of these modules. Please note that the
module you buy does not include the optical transceiver module shown in the diagram,
which should be ordered separately.
