The DXS-3600 switches feature selectable store-and-forward, or cut-through switching modes to reduce network latency. The switches also utilize two hot-swappable power modules for 1+1 power redundancy and load sharing, and three hot-swappable smart fans for redundancy. The smart fans monitor and detect temperature changes and react accordingly by utilizing different fan speeds for different temperatures.
The DXS-3600 series is designed to address the increasing needs to expand bandwidth, performance, switching capacity, overall reliability, and energy saving. It suits a range of network environments including small to medium sized businesses, enterprise environments, data centers, school campuses, healthcare facilities, and government organizations.”
The DXS-3600 series standard software image supports an extensive range of L2+ features including VLAN, multicasting, Quality of Service (QoS), security, data center, and static routing functions. An optional enhanced image software upgrade provides comprehensive Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 routing including RIP, VRRP, OSPF, BGP, and L3 multicasting features.
