Product Description:
The D-Link® AirPremier® MobileLAN™
DWS-1008 is a wireless LAN switch
optimized for deployment in the
Small-Medium Enterprise (SME)
environment. The DWS-1008 is designed to
allow easy user installation and
operation yet support advanced wireless
switch features such as secure mobility,
policy enforcement, and AAA and 802.1x
offload capabilities.
The D-Link MobileLAN solution is powered by
Trapeze Networks™ and executes Trapeze Networks’
Mobility System Software (MSS), which maintains the
intelligence of the MobileLAN system. In addition to
managing users’ identities as they roam, the
DWS-1008 configures and controls all aspects of the
complementing DWL-8220AP Wireless Switch Dualband
Access Points.
AAA Authentication Offloading Capability
The MobileLAN DWS-1008 supports Administration,
Authorization, and Authentication (AAA) policies to
ensure maximum security. Rather than checking the
identity of a connecting user from the switch’s
local database, user authentication policies can be
sent back to an AAA server for complete
verification. This offloading capability ensures
that the WLAN will not overload when clients are
simultaneously connecting to the network.
User-Based Authentication Services
This wireless switch delivers Identity-based
Networking, which provides user-based services such
as virtual private group membership, personal
firewall filters, time-of-day/day-of-week access,
encryption type, authentication, usage tracking,
location tracking, and associated network
statistics.
Easy Deployment
The DWS-1008 includes eight 10/100 Mbps ports with
integrated PoE to enable network connectivity to any
connected DWL-8220AP. It is designed for distributed
deployments in the wiring closet or small or medium
offices. It can support up to six directly connected
DWL-8220APs and up to six more DWL-8220APs connected
indirectly.
Maximum Performance With Load Balancing
Capabilities
The DWS-1008 performs Layer 2 forwarding and also
comes with extensive Layer 3-4 and identity-tracking
capabilities. It integrates seamlessly with wired
infrastructures and offers redundant load-sharing
links, 802.1q trunking, spanning tree and per-VLAN
spanning tree (PVST+). It also supports IGMP
snooping, which is vital to supporting IP multicast
streams.
