The DES-85-48GE-TX-MPLSE is compatible with D-Link modular chassis such as the DES-3028 and DES-6100 series when an empty expansion bay is available.
Power down the host chassis, slide the module into an available expansion slot, secure with the captive screws, and power up to enable auto-detection.
No. The DES-85-48GE-TX-MPLSE is designed solely for electrical data connectivity and does not provide PoE capability.
The module delivers up to 96 Gbps of switching capacity and a maximum forwarding rate of 71.4 Mpps.
This board operates at Layer 2, providing hardware-based switching, VLAN segmentation, and MAC-address learning.
Yes. The module supports jumbo frames up to 9 KB for optimized large-packet transfers.
It supports 802.1Q VLAN tagging, port-based VLANs, GVRP for dynamic VLAN registration, and private VLAN edge.
Yes. It includes 802.1p priority queuing, weighted round-robin scheduling, and traffic shaping for latency-sensitive applications.
Management is handled centrally through the host chassis’s web GUI, CLI or SNMP, inheriting the chassis’s monitoring and configuration tools.
The board measures 220 × 80 × 25 mm and weighs approximately 0.6 kg, fitting standard D-Link rack-mount chassis.
Operating temperature is 0 °C to 40 °C, with 10% to 90% non-condensing humidity; storage temperature is –40 °C to 70 °C.
D-Link provides a limited lifetime warranty for the module when installed in an eligible chassis, covering hardware defects.
After installation, check port LEDs for link/activity, review the chassis management interface for port counters, and run a loopback test if needed.
