Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Connect Gates recommends the D-Link 8000-CM1 for DGS-8000 Series projects that require a reliable enterprise control module for chassis-based core and aggregation switching.
• It is an ideal choice when using Enterprise E-Series I/O modules for campus backbone, enterprise LAN, and high-performance aggregation environments.
• The module is especially suitable for factories, campuses, hotels, large enterprise buildings, and data rooms that require stable centralized control and scalable modular switching.
• For best performance, Connect Gates recommends using the 8000-CM1 as part of a complete DGS-8000 chassis design with suitable E-Series line cards, redundant power supplies, fan tray, and fiber transceivers according to the project topology.
