D-Link 20 10/100/1000 Base-T Port Unified Switch

Product Description

The DWS-3160 is D-Link's latest Unified L2+ Gigabit Wired/ Wireless Switch. Designed to be the ideal mobility solution for medium-sized & large enterprises & service providers, the DWS-3160 empowers administrators to exercise total control over their wireless networks by centralizing all aspects of provisioning & management. Able to manage up to 48 D-Link Unified Access Points by itself & up to 192 in a switch cluster, the DWS-3160 can be configured to act either as a Wireless Controller in the core network, or as an L2+ Gigabit Switch at the edge, enabling it to be seamlessly integrated into any existing network infrastructure. The DWS-3160 is able to centralize all critical WLAN management, thereby eliminating the need to manage Access Points (AP) individually. The administrator simply assigns a profile to an individual D-Link Unified AP, & the configuration corresponding to that profile would be applied onto that AP automatically. In addition, the DWS-3160 can apply new firmware to all D-Link Unified Access Points on the network, thus greatly simplifying the upgrade process. Besides its wireless capabilities, the DWS-3160 also excels as an advanced L2+ switch. Complete with RIPv 1/v 2 dynamic routing, ACL security, multilayer Qo S, comprehensive VLAN support, as well as Multicast Snooping capabilities, the DWS-3160 enables easy & flexible deployment. Furthermore, multiple DWS-3160s can form a Switch Cluster, which enables the administrator to configure all switches from one single Cluster Master. As the size of the cluster grows, so can the number of D-Link Unified Access Points being managed. Up to 192 D-Link Unified Access Points may be managed by the Switch Cluster. This helps to significantly simplify management & reduce maintenance efforts when a network is scaled up. The DWS-3160 offers a state-of-the-art Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS), which empowers administrators to detect Rogue Access Points & Rogue Clients, effectively
