Overview

The D-Link

Uniﬁed Wired/Wireless Switching solution

provides an innovative evolution in wireless LAN.

Complex installations, intricate management utilities

and limited scalability had previously made network

administrators hesitant to deploy facility-wide wireless

LAN. Now, D-Link Uniﬁed Wired/Wireless Switching

architecture simpliﬁes installation. In addition, access

security, wireless throughput and network convergence

is signiﬁcantly enhanced. Benefactors of this Wi-Fi

innovation include IT integrators, network administrators,

business end-users, government organizations, schools,

hospitals, and hotspots such as convention halls, hotels

and airports.

Scalable and Flexible Wireless Deployment

The centerpiece of D-Link Uniﬁed Wired/Wireless

Switching lies in a scalable and ﬂexible architecture.

The Uniﬁed Switch can be easily added to the customer’s

existing network infrastructure and centrally manage

the Access Points. Overlay Deployment protects

the customer’s investment on the wired network,

while providing wireless LAN capability to the entire

organization. Furthermore, the Uniﬁed Switch can be

deployed at the network edge as a wireless controller

and an L2 edge switch. This type of edge deployment is

beneﬁcial for customers looking to replace their current

switches with a more robust and full-featured product.

The D-Link Uniﬁed Switch is designed for medium-sized

to large wireless networks. This affordable solution

provides ﬂexibility and investment protection through

scalable expansion and uniﬁed LAN/ WLAN deployment

and easy upgrades for future technologies through

Gigabit connectivity.

Adaptable Wireless Technology

The Uniﬁed Switch’s ﬂexible architecture not only

includes physical deployment, but also offers effective

wireless trafﬁc management capability. Data from the

clients can be conﬁgured to tunnel back to the Uniﬁed

Switch before reaching its destination. This approach

allows for a coordinated network control and centralized

security policy enforcement. Alternatively, Access Points

can handle and forward wireless trafﬁc ideally without

having to go through the Uniﬁed Switch. This non-

tunnel mode is especially practical in remote ofﬁces or

applications that require high performance and optimized

trafﬁc ﬂows. The ﬂexibility offered by D-Link Adaptable

Wireless technology empowers any organization to

enjoy the beneﬁts of a wireless network.

Centralized Policy Control

Proﬁle conﬁguration is applied to a wireless access point

when it is deployed or when it is reset. Proﬁles dispatched

from the switch to the AP include RADIUS server settings,

radio conﬁguration, SSID, VLAN, tunnel settings, and

QoS conﬁguration. Conﬁguration is simpliﬁed because

the administrator does not have to make individual

settings for each AP. This enhances security because the

conﬁguration is not saved within the AP, hence it cannot

be retrieved when an AP is dismounted or stolen.
