DES-3550 50-Port Layer2 Virtual Stack Switch

The DES-3500 series switches form a departmental stack providing 10/100Mbps speed with flexible Gigabit uplinks. Traffic running among the stacked units is through the fast full-duplex Gigabit interfaces and your usual network wires, doing away with the costly and cumbersome stacking cables.The DES-3550 simplifies and speeds up your management tasks, as multiple switches can be configured, monitored and maintained from any workstation running a web browser through one unique IP address. The stack is managed as a single object, and all stacked units are identified by a single IP address. Through the builtin web manager, you can have a Tree View with clear information about the members of the stacks, and your Network Topology that shows the locations of the stacked units and their link information. This simple yet powerful web-based management eliminates the need for you to install expensive SNMP network management software.From an access-level departmental stack, you can easily add units to up to 32 switches per stack not limited to any specific models. Your Virtual Stack's support for any switch models with embedded Single IP Management means that you can expand your stack to include L3 core switches, chassis-based switches or any other switches, to accommodate your network growth.The DES-3550 provides a complete set of security features for connectivity and access control. This set includes Access Control Lists (ACLs) based on MAC address, switch port, IP address, and/or
