The DGS-3120 xStack Series are enhanced L2 access 
stackable switches designed to connect end-users 
in a secure SMB or enterprise 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. 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 available with two 
different software images - Standard Image (SI) 
and Enhanced Image (EI). The Standard Image 
provides sophisticated features for campus, or 
enterprise. 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 enterprise/campus 
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 minimizes 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 prioritizes “CPU 
interested” packets to prevent malicious traffic from 
interrupting normal network flows, and to protect 
switch operation.
