DM1105E: Datacom Technology for LAN Access Networks

As we highlighted in our latest articles, Datacom keeps a close eye on the demands of the telecommunications and networking market in general. Thus, our portfolio covers a wide range of equipment, from solutions aimed at providers and operators to alternatives aimed at the corporate IT market. In addition to access and network core equipment, OCP servers and DWDM transmission solutions, an aspect that may not be widely known by our audience is that we also have in our portfolio switch families specially developed for LAN applications.

This is the case with the DM1105E line, which offers flexibility, performance and security, meeting the needs of different business environments.

The majority of Datacom's switch portfolio is designed with functionality aimed at the service provider environment, which has a set of dedicated protocols to support multiple clients and long-distance transmissions. However, the world of corporate local networks demands optimized equipment with more specialized functionalities, adapted to the specific needs of this type of environment.

Often, to form LAN networks, access switches require features such as Power over Ethernet (PoE), as well as advanced security, simplified management and QoS (Quality of Service) capabilities to prioritize critical traffic, such as voice and video, without spend large investments. It is in this context that the DM1105E family stands out.

 

Application and Main Features

The DM1105E series from Datacom is designed for efficiency and reliability, combining advanced functionalities with an intuitive interface and robust security. Focused on access applications, it offers versatility and high performance for business environments of various sizes, providing a robust, secure, and highly available network infrastructure.

 

Below, we present the main features that define the DM1105E line in the current market scenario:

 

Wire Speed L2 Performance

DM1105E switches offer switching capacity ranging from 56 Gbit/s to 216 Gbit/s, with all packet processing implemented in hardware. This ensures wire-speed packet switching, enabling block-free data traffic, which is essential for applications that require high availability and performance.

 

Management Facilities

The DM1105E line is equipped with a robust CLI configuration interface, which includes automatic syntax assistance, making device management more intuitive. For remote accessibility, it supports SSH, Telnet and RS-232 console, and offers an internal Web Server and SNMP agent for simplified monitoring and management.

 

Advanced Security

With growing concerns around network security, the DM1105E switches are designed to offer robust layers of protection. They support authentication via RADIUS, providing a reliable management framework. Furthermore, they are equipped with defense mechanisms against Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) attacks, port and MAC Address authentication in accordance with the IEEE802.1x standard, and specific protections against broadcast and multicast attacks.

 

Advanced Switching Features

For effective network management, DM1105E switches support simultaneous configuration of VLANs, Link Aggregation to increase traffic capacity and redundancy, in addition to Spanning Tree network protection and redundancy protocols (STP, MSTP, RSTP). For multicast traffic, IGMP Snooping and MLD Snooping functionality is supported, optimizing the distribution of multicast transmissions on corporate networks.

 

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Specific models within the DM1105E line, such as the DM1105E 24GP+4XS and DM1105E 48GP+6XS, support the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard, providing 24 and 48 PoE+ ports respectively. This allows network devices, such as Access Points, IP phones and security cameras, to be powered directly through the network cable, simplifying cable infrastructure and reducing operational costs.

 

DM1105E Line Models

The DM1105E line features multiple hardware configurations to meet different networking needs, including models with 24 or 48 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ45) ports, as well as 1000Base-X (SFP/SFP+) or 10GBase-X uplink ports (SFP/SFP+), providing flexibility for network expansion and high-speed connections.
