Features: The DES-6500 is a Layer 3 backbone chassis-based Gigabit switch. This 9-slot chassis offers a high switch fabric capacity of 160Gbps supporting wire speed L2/L3 packet switching in dynamic or static environment, high port density, comprehensive network media support with L2/L3/L4 Class of Service (CoS) and Access Control List (ACL), Multiple link aggregation, fault tolerance with hot-swappable CPU module/line card and redundant power supply, traffic monitoring, and comprehensive network management.






With eight configurable slots and a wide range of user-selectable port types and speeds, users can configure the switch with upto 96 Gigabit ports, 192 twisted-pair Fast Ethernet ports or a combination of both.

The DES-6500 supports a variety of network management options including console CLI, Telnet configuration, Web-based and SNMP v1, v2c, v3 management, RMON monitoring, TFTP firmware upgrade, TFTP configuration download/upload, Port Mirroring for troubleshooting, and BootP/DHCP IP assignment. It also supports advanced traffic management options including 802.3x, Bandwidth Control, Broadcast Storm Control, Traffic Segmentation, Head of Line Blocking, and IGMP snooping.






The DES-6500 supports IP (RIP, OSPF) and IGMP, DVMRP, and PIM multicasting for logical network segmentation and traffic control. It also supports a complete set of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol for Layer 2 redundancy.





The switch also supports eight priority queues for 802.1p/TOS/DiffServ, with classification and marking based on MAC SA/DA, IP SA/DA, and/or TCP/UDP port numbers. Security features include 802.1x (port based authentication) 802.1x (MAC based authentication), Access Control Lists based on MAC address, IP address, and/or TCP/UDP port numbers. The DES-6500 also has extensive support for GARP/GVRP, 802.1q, and 802.1Q VLANs for up to 4K static groups per device.
