D-Link introduces Layer 2+ managed stackable switch family

D-Link expanded its portfolio of switching solutions with the D-Link DGS-3420 xStack series with Layer 2+ features.

As the newest series in D-Link’s switch portfolio, the D-Link DGS-3420, along with the DGS-3120 and DGS-3620 xStack switches with Layer 2 and Layer 3 features respectively – allow small and medium businesses or a large enterprise to standardize on a robust solution that can serve as a departmental, aggregation or core switch.

In addition, the DGS-3420 series also enables businesses to future-proof their networks with IPv6 support, having recently passed additional IPv6 compatibility requirements for networking equipment providers.

The DGS-3420 xStack series of next generation Layer 2+ Gigabit switches provides businesses with a wide range of options for connectivity, power and placement within the network infrastructure.

With high Gigabit port densities, Gigabit small form-factor pluggable (SFP) and 10-Gigabit SFP+ support, these switches can be stacked to act as either a departmental access layer or aggregation switches to form a multilevel network.

In addition, if linear or ring stacking is required, users can use one or two 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports to create a physical stack. The DGS-3420 series also features comprehensive IPv6 support, including IPv6 Tunnel, ICMPv6, DHCPv6, and RIPng.

The DGS-3420 xStack series is currently available starting at $2,399.99.
