D-Link DWS-3024

The D-Link DWS-3024 L2+ Gigabit Wireless Switches are optimized for wireless network deployment in business environments. With these devices, business can install high-performance, secure, manageable and scalable unified wired/wireless LAN switching. With combo SFP, open slots for optional 10-Gigabit connection 1, Power over Ethernet and redundant power supply (RPS) support, these Gigabit wireless switches provide enterprises with easy upgrade to next-generation 802.11n wireless LAN, simple deployment of wireless devices regardless of physical locations, and centralized management of secure wireless mobility and policy enforcement. The DWS-3024 Gigabit Wireless Switches are core units that consolidate the security, manage the bandwidth and maintain the intelligence of the entire wireless network. In addition to monitoring users' identities and maintaining their authentication as they roam, these wireless switches can configure and control all aspects of the wireless access points, including: RF channel and power management, wireless traffic segmentation, AP roaming and load balancing, rouge AP detection and AP access security.

The DWS-3024 provide user-based services such as virtual private group (SSID) membership, encryption type, authentication, location tracking and associated network statistics. Authorizations stay with users wherever they roam because all deployed DWS- 3024 share stored information, ensuring secure access and connectivity to the right services. In addition to checking the identity of a connecting user from the switch's local database, user authentication policies can be sent back to an external RADIUS server for complete verification. This offloading capability ensures that the wireless switch will not overload when clients are simultaneously connecting to the network. With integrated Gigabit transmission, the DWS-3024 provide enterprises with an easy upgrade to future speed wireless LAN technologies by incorporating nextgeneration high-speed AP. Optional 10-Gigabit support1 allows the network to integrate with future high-speed servers and the network backbone, further protecting current investments in network hardware.
