Overview
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 switch capable of uplinking to backbone
switches, the D-Link xStack DES-3828 is designed to
meet the needs of the most demanding departmental
and enterprise connectivity applications. The xStack
DES-3828 Switch is a fully managed Layer 3 switch that
provides 24 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports and 2 Combo
SFP/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports. In addition, 2
fi xed 1000BASE-T ports in the back-panel can provide
a dedicated trunk connection between devices or core
switches. The xStack DES-3828 also provides virtual
stacking functionality via D-Link Single IP Management
(SIM) technology allowing up to 32 units to be managed
via a single IP address. With support for Q-in-Q Double
VLAN tagging, IPv6 awareness

, Dynamic Layer 3 Routing,
IEEE802.1s, and bandwidth control, the xStack DES-3828
incorporates advanced features suitable for the MSP as
well as the SMB and Enterprise size network.
Advanced L3 Routing
The xStack DES-3828 is a high performance Layer 3 switch
that provides an ideal solution by offering advanced Layer
3 routing features such as RIP, OSPF, VRRP, up to 10 IP
addresses per VLAN, and floating static routes.
Multi-path Routing
1
, which is the method of establishing
multiple paths between given source-destination nodes
within a network, is also a feature supported on the
xStack DES-3828. These added routing features provide
redundancy, improve network utilization, and provide load
balancing for the network.
Metro Switching
Service provider networks are moving from circuit-based
access to newer packet-based access that requires highly
reliable intelligent switching and demands resiliency and
dependability. The xStack DES-3828 meets this demand
by supporting industry standards for 802.1s (Multiple
Spanning Tree), 802.3ad link aggregation for up to 32
groups, bandwidth rate limiting down to 64k, and support
for an external redundant power option for added peace of
mind. In addition, the xStack DES-3828 offers Double VLAN
Q-in-Q tagging, which adds on an additional tag to a VLAN
tag, expanding the VLAN space and allowing service
providers to deploy their service quickly and securely. The
xStack DES-3828 also incorporates advanced QoS support
such as the ability to fi lter and forward traffi c based on
Layer 2/3/4, making it an ideal choice for VoIP, video, and
audio services targeting business class customers.
Network Security
The xStack DES-3828 is equipped to handle many of today’s
emerging security vulnerabilities. Up to 800 independent
access control lists can be confi gured with the ability to fi lter
and block traffi c based on such criteria as: Port, MAC, 802.1p
priority, VLAN, DSCP, IP address, Protocol type, and TCP/UDP
port number and content, proving that the xStack DES-3828
provides unparalleled security in its class. In addition, the
xStack DES-3828 incorporates 802.1x Port-based and
MAC-based RADIUS authentication for secure network
logins and SSH/SSL for increased management security.
Further, the xStack DES-3828 incorporates IP-MAC-Port
Binding and the D-Link Safeguard Engine to protect the
CPU from broadcast, multicast, and unicast fl ooding.
