Unied Wireless Gigabit L2+ Switch
DWS-3160
Product Highlights
Overview
The DWS-3160 is D-Link’s latest Unied L2+ Gigabit Wireless Switch. Designed to be the
ideal mobility solution for medium-sized and large enterprises and service providers, the
DWS-3160 empowers administrators to exercise total control over their wireless networks
by centralizing all aspects of provisioning and management. Able to manage up to 48
D-Link Unied Access Points by itself and up to 192 in a Peer Group, the DWS-3160 can be
congured to act either as a Wireless Controller in the core network, and as an L2+ Gigabit
Switch at the edge, enabling it to be seamlessly integrated into any existing network
infrastructure. The DWS-3160 comes in two models with or without PoE support.
Simplied Management
The DWS-3160 is able to centralize all critical WLAN management, thereby eliminating the
need to manage access points individually. The administrator simply assigns a prole to an
individual D-Link Unied Access Point, and the conguration corresponding to that prole
would be applied onto that access point automatically. In addition, the DWS-3160 can apply
new rmware to all D-Link Unied Access Points on the network, thus greatly simplifying
the upgrade process.
The DWS-3160 also excels as an advanced L2+ switch. Complete with RIPv1/v2 dynamic
routing, ACL security, multi-layer QoS, comprehensive VLAN support, as well as Multicast
Snooping capabilities, the DWS-3160 enables easy and exible deployment. Furthermore,
multiple DWS-3160s can form a Peer Group, which enables the administrator to congure
all switches from one Peer Group Master. As the size of the Peer Group grows, so can the
number of D-Link Unied Access Points being managed. Up to 192 D-Link Unied Access
Points may be managed by a Peer Group. This helps to signicantly simplify management
and reduce maintenance eorts when a network is scaled up.
