can be located in different physical locations in a network. For example, SIM-capable switches
can be located across a single building connected through industry-standard copper cables, or in
different buildings across campuses connect by industry-standard fiber cables. A built-in Web
manager with the SIM Clustering software provides a Tree View of the network, with clear
information about the members of the switch cluster, the network topology displays the locations
of the stacked units, and their link information. Support of SIM Clustering in the xStack Series
enables you to expand beyond the physical stack and to include other D-Link switches to
accommodate your future network requirement or growth. (Refer to product manuals to learn
more about D-Link SIM Clustering Technology.)
