 For DGS-3120-24PC/48PC models only.
The DGS-3120 xStack Series are enhanced 
L2 access stackable switches designed to 
connect end-users in a secure business 
network. These switches support physical 
stacking, multicast and enhanced security, 
making them an ideal Gigabit access layer 
solution. The DGS-3120-24TC/48TC provides 
20 or 44 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet 
ports and 4 combo 1000BASE-T/SFP Gigabit 
Ethernet ports. The DGS-3120-24PC/48PC 
provides 24 or 48 10/100/1000 Mbps 
PoE Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 combo 
1000BASE-T/SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports. The 
DGS-3120-24SC provides 16 SFP Gigabit 
Ethernet ports and 8 combo 1000BASE-T/SFP 
Gigabit ports. Each 10/100/1000 Mbps port 
of DGS-3120-24PC/48PC supports 802.3af 
and 802.3at Power over Ethernet standard. 
The default power budget is 370 Watts and 
can be expanded to 740 Watts with the 
DPS-700 RPS. The switches are also equipped 
with an SD Card slot, allowing the user to 
 boot images and upload configuration files 
directly from an SD Card. Furthermore, syslog 
files can also be conveniently saved to a card.
Standard and Enhanced Images
The DGS-3120 Series is embedded with two 
different software images - Standard Image 
(SI) and Enhanced Image (EI). The Standard 
Image provides sophisticated features for 
businesses. It includes advanced Quality of 
Service (QoS), traffic shaping, L2 multicasting 
and robust security features. The Enhanced 
Image supports ERPS, Double VLAN (Q-in-Q), 
Ethernet OAM, Static Route, IMPB, sFlow, 
IPv6 features which are suitable for the next 
generation IPv6 networks or triple play 
applications in Metro Ethernet.
Enhanced Network Reliability
The DGS-3120 Series targets businesses  
and customers who require a high level  
of network security and maximum uptime.  
All the models in DGS-3120 Series support  
an external redundant power supply so  
that continued operation can be assured.  
They also include other features, such as 802.1D 
Spanning Tree (STP), 802.1w Rapid Spanning 
Tree (RSTP) and 802.1s Multiple Spanning 
Tree (MSTP), Loopback Detection (LBD), 
and Broadcast Storm Control, that enhance 
network resilience. The G.8032 Ethernet 
Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) function 
minimises the recovery time to 50 ms. For load 
sharing and redundancy backup in switch 
cascading/server attachment configuration, 
the DGS-3120 Series provides dynamic 
802.3ad Link Aggregation Port Trunking.
Comprehensive Security
The DGS-3120 Series provides users with 
the latest security features such as Multi-
layer and Packet Content Access Control 
Lists (ACL), Storm Control, and IP-MAC-
Port Binding (IMPB) with DHCP Snooping. 
The IP-MAC-Port Binding feature allows 
administrators to bind a source IP address 
with an associated MAC and also define 
the port number to enhance user access 
control. With the DHCP Snooping feature, the 
switch automatically learns IP/MAC pairs by 
snooping DHCP packets and saving them to 
the IMPB white list. In addition, the D-Link 
Safeguard Engine™ identifies and prioritises 
“CPU interested” packets to prevent malicious 
traffic from interrupting normal network 
flows, and to protect switch operation.
Identity Driven Network Policies
The DGS-3120 Series supports authentication 
mechanisms such as 802.1X, Web-based 
Access Control (WAC), and MAC-based Access 
Control (MAC) for strict access control and easy 
deployment. After authentication, individual 
policies such as VLAN membership, QoS 
policies, and ACL rules can be assigned to each 
host. In addition, the switch also supports 
Microsoft® NAP (Network Access Protection). 
NAP is a policy enforcement technology that 
allows customers to protect network assets 
from unhealthy computers by enforcing 
compliance with network health policies.
