The D-Link’s DGS-6600 Series chassis-
based switches are intelligent and high-
performance multi-layer LAN devices 
designed for Enterprise local area networks 
(LAN). They are ideal for deployment in 
environments that require uninterrupted 
running of network applications and a high 
level of performance, security and control.
Featuring a flexible modular architecture and 
industry standard compliance, these switches 
provide scalable expansion and a high level 
of investment protection for businesses 
to deploy Gigabit and 10-Gigabit packet 
switching and routing for office networking 
and Ethernet-based Internet services to 
home offices.
The DGS-6600 Series is equipped with high-
speed switch fabric, and advanced software 
functions, including complete IPv6 support. 
These switches provide the performance, 
high availability and futureproof architecture 
suitable for applications of not just today, but 
those of the future.
Flexible Modular Design 
The DGS-6600 Series is now available in a 
4-slot chassis model, the DGS-6604. One 
open slot is reserved for a control module, 
and the other three slots can be fitted with 
user-selectable port modules. In addition 
to these open slots, there are four slots for 
redundant backup power supplies, and 
one slot for a replaceable fan module. This 
modular architecture allows modules to be 
gradually added to meet network growth, 
and modules can be easily swapped anytime 
to fit network requirement changes.
Deployable as an Aggregation Switch
Using a common set of modules for 
10/100/1000BASE-T ports, PoE support, SFP, 
and 10-Gigabit uplinks, IT personnel can fit 
a DGS-6600 Series switch with different port 
types and deploy it as an aggregation (i.e. 
distribution) switch which can provide high 
port density connections to an Access Layer 
Switch in an office environment.
High Performance
The DGS-6604 4-slot switch provides a switch 
capacity of up to 576 Gbps and system 
performance of up to 428.57 Mpps. To make 
use of this high-performance hardware, 
these switches utilise a distribution switching 
method where each line card (the port 
module that directly connects to the network 
nodes) intelligently determines the switch 
path for each data packet. The switches 
synchronise the switching and routing 
information between the control cards and 
the line cards to map out the fastest data 
transfer path. With each line card capable 
of performing L2/3/4 on-board packet 
switching without relying on the control 
cards, the DGS-6600 Series switches can 
deliver very fast packet forwarding at almost 
zero-wait speed.
High Port Densities
Port densities can reach 144 Gigabit or 24 
10-Gigabit ports per 4-slot chassis. All port 
modules are hot-swappable without the 
need to change any hardware or software 
settings. By providing up to 24 10GE ports 
with each port running at non-blocking 
rates, it can help enterprises migrate to a 10G 
backbone.
High Availability
The DGS-6604 provides 3+1 redundant 
backup power supplies (up to 3 active and 1 
backup) and a hot swappable fan module to 
create a very highly available chassis-based 
device suitable for mission-critical network 
applications.
