DGS-3612G
For the SMB requiring a cost effective core switching
solution, as well as for larger Enterprise and Metropolitan
Service Provider (MSP) environments needing a
managed, feature rich line aggregator, the xStack
DGS-3612G is designed to meet the needs of the most
demanding departmental and enterprise connectivity
applications. The D-Link DGS-3612G Switch is a fully
managed Layer 3 switch that provides 12 SFP ports
and 4 Combo 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports. The
DGS-3612G also provides virtual stacking functionality
via D-Link SIM technology allowing up to 32 units to
be managed via single IP address. With support for
IPv4/IPv6 static and dynamic routing and a plethora of
advanced security and enhanced QoS features, the xStack
DGS-3612G future proofs your network and provides a
seamless migration path to IPv6.

Comprehensive Security
The DGS-3612G incorporates an advanced portfolio of
security features designed to protect your network from
malicious attacks. SSH & SSL encrypted management
guarantee secure private configuration and monitoring
when using the Graphical User Interface and Command
Line. IP to MAC binding prevents unauthorized devices from
accessing network resources, and also acts as an anti-
spoofing tool. 802.1x port and MAC based authentication
help provide added network security by requiring all
users attempting to connect to your network to provide a
username and password. This username and password
must then be authenticated on a RADIUS or TACACS+
server, insuring only authorized users have access to the
network. Access control lists based on Layers 2/3/4, Rate
Limiting, and Guest VLANs provide even more control
over what and how users access the network. Finally,
with D-Link’s CPU Safeguard Engine, the DGS-3612G is
protected from Broadcast, Multicast, and Unicast flooding
which in turn prevents the DGS-3612G from being crippled
by DoS attacks .

Enhanced Enterprise Features
The xStack DGS-3612G facilitates the deployment
of enterprise applications such as VOIP, streaming
media, and multicast content delivery such as IP video
conferencing and software deployment with enhanced
enterprise features such as L2/L3/L4 QoS, IGMP and MLD
snooping, 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree, 802.1s Multiple
Spanning Tree group, 802.3ad Link Aggregation, and
802.1Q VLANs.
