Product Overview
Available with optional Secure Networks™ policy management capabilities, the Enterasys D2
provides 12 ports of Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity in 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 with
integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) options, support for redundant power and 2 Small Form
Factor Pluggable fiber-optic transceivers (SFP) for uplink connectivity. The extremely quiet design
makes this switch ideal for placement in classrooms, conference rooms and other small workgroup
areas. LEDs on the front, back and top of the switch provide very flexible mounting options. An
optional lock box for secure mounting inside a room is available.
Cooling fans are incorporated into the D2 switch, but will only activate when the ambient
temperature exceeds 104° F / 40° C (non PoE model). The non-PoE switch is designed to operate
within higher temperature ranges (up to 140° F / 60° C) than standard switches in the marketplace
– allowing it to be placed in warm locations that may lack adequate cooling or ventilation.
The D2 comes ready to support the QoS priority and security needs of converged voice, video and
data networks. All this while ensuring only the right users have access to the right information
from the right place at the right time for compliance purposes.
Bandwidth, QoS and security policy control can be applied based on L2/L3/L4 traffic visibility.
In addition to L2 switching, the D2 inspects and classifies incoming traffic; discovers attached
users, applications and devices; authenticates them using 802.1x, Web and/or MAC multi-user
authentication; then enforces priority and security policies by making the filtering, forwarding or
rate limiting decision.
The D2 is integrated with the Enterasys Secure Networks architecture to offer granular control by
user and application over priority and security parameters, while enabling full user mobility. The
privileges for a user or device are enforced dynamically based on authentication results regardless
of wired or wireless connectivity. The end result is an easier way to manage the networked
infrastructure as an integrated system. This holistic approach leveraging Enterasys NetSight
®
centralized visibility and control management software avoids the need to manually reconfigure on
a device-by-device basis every time there is a move, add or change. Define the policies once, and
Enterasys keeps up with all the mobility, expansion and modification automatically.
