High-Performance, High Availability L2 Switching
Utilizing an 8.8Gbps switch fabric and support for 8,000 MAC addresses, the DES-3226 is a wire-speed, high performance departmental switch. The DES-3226 supports port trunking with up to 8 trunk groups. Each trunk group can support up to (8) 10/100 links or (2) Gigabit links, that can be combined together to create a multi-link load-sharing connection. Port trunking enables business users to increase availability and aggregated bandwidth between servers and/or other switches, optimizing the transport of all your business critical data.

Investment Protection
By widely supporting IEEE approved specifications, the DES-3226 leverages your existing investment in a multi-vendor environment, while maximizing compatibility of mission critical features such as spanning tree (802.1d), QoS (802.1p/DiffServ), VLANs(Port Based/802.1q), per port traffic segmentation, and network management (SNMP/RMON/BOOTP/Telnet/Web/TACACS/SSH).

D-Links DES-3226 robust support of standards based network management protocols (SNMP/RMON/BOOTP/Telnet/Web/TACACS/SSH), port mirroring, and span port mirroring enables the DES-3226 to be easily integrated into many third-party network management packages.

The DES-3226SM, DES-3226, and DES-3326SRM share many of the same expansion modules to simplify compatibility, inventory, and sparing issues.

Advanced Enterprise Features
The DES-3226 brings advanced enterprise functions to a more affordable level while supporting advanced features: 802.1p (Qos), DiffServ (QoS), 802.1x (Port Based Authentication), 802.1x (MAC Based Authentication), IGMP, 802.1w (Rapid Spanning Tree), 802.3ad (Link Aggregation), and 802.1q (VLANs). These features facilitate the deployment of applications across an enterprise such as: VOIP, streaming media, and multicast content delivery (IP video conferencing and software deployment).
