High Port Density Data Center TOR Switch
DXS-F3500-64S
D-Link’s new generation DXS-F3500-64S switch delivers a versatile feature set, High- density port count in 1U rack mount size; suitable for Data Center TOR or Enterprise & campus environments CORE/Aggregation requirements. The DXS-F3500-64S a non-blocking architecture design provides high-performance L2/L3/L4 switches that feature wire-speed switching capacity of 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet switching, routing at ultra-low latency. DXS-F3500-64S provides 48 x 1/10GbE SFP/SFP+ ports 2 x 40 QSFP+ ports & 4 x 40/100GbE QSFP+/QSFP28 ports in compact 1U rack size.
High Availability & Flexibility
The DXS-F3500-64S switch features a modular fan and power supply design for a high availability architecture. The hot-swappable design means that fans and power supplies can be replaced without affecting switch operation. The Multi-Chassis Trunking enables multiple DXS-F3500-64S switches to be configured in a Virtual chassis and can provide non-stop layer-3 routing forwarding even in case of failure of any switch in the virtual chassis.
Lossless Ethernet
Data Center Bridging (DCB) is an essential set of enhancements to Ethernet for networking in data center environments. The DXS-F3500-64S switch support several core components of Data Center Bridging (DCB) such as IEEE 802.1Qbb, IEEE 802.1Qaz, and IEEE 802.1Qau. IEEE 802.1Qbb (Priority-based Flow Control) provides flow control on specific priority to ensure there is no data-loss during network congestion. IEEE 802.1Qaz (Enhanced Transmission Selection) manages the allocation of bandwidth amongst different traffic classes. IEEE 802.1Qau (Congestion Notification) provides congestion management for data flows within network domains to avoid congestion.
