The DGS-3400 Gigabit Ethernet switches are members of the D-Link xStack
®
family. Ranging from 10/100Mbps edge switches
to core gigabit switches, the xStack
®
switch family has been future-proof designed to deliver a system with fault tolerance,
flexibility, port density, robust security and maximum throughput with a user-friendly management interface for the networking
professional.
This manual describes the installation, maintenance and configurations concerning members of the xStack
®
DGS-3400 Series.
These switches include: the DGS-3426, DGS-3426P, DGS-3427 and the DGS-3450. The xStack
®
DGS-3400 Series are similar in
configurations and basic hardware and consequentially, most of the information in this manual will be universal to the whole
xStack
®
DGS-3400 Series. Corresponding screen pictures of the web manager may be taken from any one of these switches but
the configuration will be identical, except for varying port counts.
Switch Description
D-Link's next-generation xStack
®
DGS-3400 Series switches are high port-density stackable switches that combine the ultimate
performance with fault tolerance, security, management functions with flexibility and ease-of-use. All these features, typically
found in the more expensive chassis-based solutions, are available from the xStack
®
DGS-3400 Series at the price of a stackable
switch.
All xStack
®
DGS-3400 Series switches have some combination of 1000BASE-T ports, SFP ports and 10-Gigabit ports that may
be used in uplinking various network devices to the Switch, including PCs, hubs and other switches to provide a gigabit Ethernet
uplink in full-duplex mode. The SFP (Small Form Factor Portable) combo ports are used with fiber-optical transceiver cabling in
order to uplink various other networking devices for a gigabit link that may span great distances. These SFP ports support full-
duplex transmissions, have auto-negotiation and can be used with DEM-310GT (1000BASE-LX), DEM-311GT (1000BASE-SX),
DEM-314GT (1000BASE-LHX), DEM-312GT2 (100BASE-SX) and DEM-315GT (1000BASE-ZX) transceivers. Users may also
use one of the WDM Single Mode Transceivers, such as the DEM-330T/R or the DEM-331T/R. The rear panel of the xStack
®
DGS-3400 Series includes spaces for optional single-port module inserts for single port 10GE XFP or 10GBASE-CX4 modules
used for backbone uplink or stacking connection to another xStack
®
DGS-3400 Series.
