D-Link DES-3226L Overview

The D-Link DES-3226L

software has two purposes:

z Assist attached hardware in switching frames.

z Provide a complete device management portfolio to the network administrator.

Scope

The D-Link DES-3226L encompasses both hardware and software support. The software is partitioned

to run in the following processors:

z CPU

This code runs the networking device management portfolio and controls the overall networking

device hardware. It also assists in frame forwarding, as needed and specified.

z Networking device processor

This code does the majority of the packet switching, usually at wire speed.

Product Concept

Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet switching continues to evolve from high-end backbone applications

to desktop switching applications. The price of the technology continues to decline, while performance

and feature sets continue to improve. The D-Link DES-3226L provides a flexible solution to these ever-

increasing needs.

The D-Link DES-3226L provides the network administrator with a set of comprehensive management

functions for managing both the switch and the network. The network administrator has a choice of

three management methods:

z Web-based

z VT100 interface

z Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Each of the D-Link DES-3226L management methods enables the network administrator to configure,

manage, and control the D-Link DES-3226L locally or remotely by using in-band or out-of-band

mechanisms. Management is standards-based, with configuration parameters and a private MIB

providing control for functions not completely specified in the MIBs.
