The DXS-3400 Series switches feature a modular fan and power supply design for a high availability architecture. The hot-swappable design means that fans and power supplies can be replaced without affecting switch operation. Physical and virtual switch stacking allow the switches to be managed from a single IP address and provide redundancy for connected devices. The Switch Resource Management (SRM) feature allows the hardware table size to be changed, so that switch functions can be optimized based on the use of the switch. The DXS-3400 Series switches come with 3 modes; IP Mode, LAN Mode and L2 VPN Mode, which modify the size of the Layer 2 and 3 tables for optimum efficiency.

The DXS-3400 Series switches include feature rich software which satisfies the needs of Small Medium Business, Small Medium Enterprise, and campus users. It supports a wide range of Layer 2 and 3 functions such as VLANs, inter-VLAN routing, multicasting, Quality of Service (QoS), Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), Routing Information Protocol (RIP) v1/2, Next Generation RIP (RIPng), Policy-Based Routing (PBR), and security features. The DXS-3400 Series also includes an easy-to-use web interface and an industry standard CLI for improved management.
