Enhanced Network Reliability

The DGS-3120 Series targets enterprises, campuses, and customers who require
a high level of network security and maximum uptime. All the models in the
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, If the worst should happen to your network you need the very best

Proactive, Effective Network Management

To uphold enterprise customers’ Service Level Agreements (SLA), service providers must reduce their Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and increase service availability.
Ethernet OAM features address these challenges and enable service providers to offer carrier-grade services. The DGS-3120 Series supports industry-standard
OAM tools, including IEEE 802.3ah, IEEE802.1ag, and ITU-T Y.1731. Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) provides tools to monitor and troubleshoot end-to-end
Ethernet networks, allowing service providers to check connectivity, isolate network issues, and identify customers affected by network issues.

IPv6 Technology
The DGS-3120 Series is fully compliant with future IPv6 networks. It supports remote IPv6 manageability from telnet, HTTP, or SNMP. To create secure IPv6 networks,
the DGS-3120 Series uses IPv6 ACL, DHCPv6 Snooping, and Neighbor Discovery (ND) Snooping functions to protect the network from illegal IPv6 clients. The DGS-
3120 Series has been certified with IPv6 Ready Logo Phase 2 from the IPv6 forum, a worldwide IPv6 advocacy consortium. The IPv6 Ready Logo Program ensures
the conformance and interoperability of IPv6 products.

Green Technology
D-Link is striving to take the lead in developing innovative and power-saving technology that does not sacrifice operational performance or functionality. The
DGS-3120 Series implements the D-Link Green Technology, which includes a power saving mode, Smart Fan, reduced heat, and cable length detection. The power-
saving feature automatically powers down ports that have no link or link partner. The Smart Fan feature enables the built-in fans to automatically turn on at a
certain temperature, providing continuous, reliable, and ecofriendly operation of the switch. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard is also supported, which
helps to reduce the operating cost of the DGS-3120 Series.

Manageability
D-Link’s Single IP Management (SIM) simplifies and speeds up management tasks, allowing multiple switches to be configured, monitored, and maintained from
any workstation running a web browser through one unique IP address. This virtual stack is managed as a single object, having all units maintained by one IP
address. The DGS-3120 Series also supports standard-based management protocols such as SNMP, RMON, Telnet, Console, Web-based GUI, and SSH/SSL security
authentication.
