Chassis-Based Switches
DGS-6600 Series
The D-Link’s DGS-6600 Chassis-Based Switch Series are intelligent and high-performance 
multi-layer LAN devices designed for Enterprise local area networks (LAN), campus, and 
metropolitan area networks (MAN). 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 fl exible modular architecture and industry standard compliance, these switches 
provide scalability and a high level of investment protection for businesses to deploy Gigabit 
and 10-Gigabit packet switching and routing for offi  ce networking and Ethernet-based 
Internet services to homes. 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 future-proof architecture suitable for applications of 
today and of the future.
High Availability
The DGS-6608 provides 2 slots for control modules. Each control module is equipped with its 
own switch fabric and management agent, and can be used for redundant backup and sharing 
of network load and management tasks. The DGS-6604/8 provides up to 4/8 redundant load-
sharing power supplies and a hot swappable fan module to create a very highly available 
chassis-based device suitable for mission-critical network applications.
The DGS-6600 Series off ers end-to-end connectivity and granular application control with 
two chassis supporting a wide range of port modules. The DGS-6604 has 576 Gbps backplane 
capacity and comes in a 4-slot chassis form factor that allows for 1 control module and 3 
user -selectable port modules. The DGS-6604 form factor allows up to 4 slots for 3+1 redundant 
power supplies as well as having a replaceable fan tray and modular dust fi lter. The DGS-6604 
has 1.152 Tbps backplane capacity and comes in a 8-slot chassis form factor has 2 slots for dual 
control modules and 6 slots for user-selectable port modules. The DGS-6608 form factor has 
up to 8 slots for 4+4 redundant power supplies as well as having a replaceable fan tray and 
modular dust fi lter.
