Introduction
This section describes the features of the DGS-3024.
Features
The DGS-3024 was designed for departmental and enterprise connections. As an all-gigabit-port Switch, it is ideal for
backbone and server connection. Powerful and versatile, the Switch eliminates network bottlenecks while giving users the
capability to fine-tune performance
Switch features include:
Ports
• Twenty-four high performance 1000BASE-T ports for making 10/100/1000 connections to a backbone, end stations,
and servers.
• Four mini-GBIC (SFP) combo ports to connect fiber optic media to another Switch, server or network backbone.
• RS-232 DCE Diagnostic port (console port) for setting up and managing the Switch via a connection to a console
terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program.
Performance Features
• Store-and-forward Switching scheme.
• Switching fabric: 48Gbps
• Max. Forwarding Rate: 35.7 million packets per second
• High-speed data forwarding rate of 1,488,095 pps per port at 100% of wire-speed for 1000 Mbps speed.
• Supports 8K MAC address.
• Supports four priority queues per port.
• Supports 512Kbytes buffer memory per Switch.
• 802.1D Spanning Tree support. Can be disabled on the entire Switch or on a per-port basis.
• 802.1Q Tagged VLAN support, including GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol).
• Support for up to 255 VLANs.
• IGMP snooping support per Switch.
• Link aggregation support for up to four trunk groups and eight trunk members per group.
• Port-based 802.1x port access control.
Management
• RS-232 console port for out-of-band network management via a console terminal.
• Spanning Tree Algorithm Protocol for creation of alternative backup paths and prevention of network loops, including
Multiple SpanningTree (MSTP) and Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP).
• SNMP V.1, V2c1, and V3 network management, four groups of RMON.
