D-Link DGS-3130-30S/E netwerkswitch managed L3 10G Ethernet (100/1000/10000) grijs

The D-Link DGS-3130-30S/E is a managed Layer 3 switch offering dual 10G Ethernet ports and a total switching capacity of 168 Gbit/s. Designed for deployment in campus networks, branch offices and enterprise access layers, the switch supports advanced L2/L3 features and a MAC address table sized for 16,384 entries to handle large numbers of connected devices. The compact grey chassis balances performance and rack-mount compatibility for environments that need deterministic throughput and low-latency forwarding.

Advantages

The switch provides wire-speed forwarding across a high-capacity switching fabric and supports energy-efficient Ethernet standards for reduced power consumption. Full management capabilities enable VLAN segmentation, routing between subnets and policy-based traffic control. Redundant features and industry-standard networking protocols increase interoperability and simplify integration with existing network infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Aggregation or access layer in enterprise and campus networks
• Branch office connectivity with high-throughput uplinks
• Data center top-of-rack for small server clusters
• Environments requiring Layer 3 routing and VLAN segmentation

How to use

Install the DGS-3130-30S/E into a standard rack or place it on a stable shelf, securing it according to the rack-mount instructions if required. Connect uplink and access devices to the 10G RJ-45 ports and power on the unit. Use the web-based management interface, CLI (SSH/console) or SNMP to perform initial configuration: set management IP, create VLANs, configure routing protocols and apply access control policies. Monitor performance and status through the switch’s management tools and integrate with network monitoring systems as needed.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep firmware up to date, follow recommended cooling and rack-placement guidelines, and configure redundancy and monitoring to match your network availability requirements. Use appropriate cabling for 10G links and plan VLAN and IP addressing to optimize Layer 3 routing and policy enforcement.
