Platform Highlights
- Open Linux NOS lineage, OVS/OpenFlow readiness, enterprise fabric features and D-Link value-adds that make this product production-ready across core, DC and industrial use-cases.
- Debian-based D-LinkNOS — Full Linux userspace for native tooling and easier integration into CI/CD and automation pipelines. Run scripts, agents and collectors directly on-box.
- OVS / OpenFlow / OVSDB Ready — Hardware-accelerated OVS datapath, OpenFlow policy plumbing and OVSDB northbound integration — built for SDN and controller-driven environments.
- EVPN-VXLAN Fabric Support — VTEP-ready EVPN (Type-2/3/5 host and prefix exchange) for scalable, multi-tenant data center overlays with zero vendor lock-in.
- 10K DHCP-Relay (D-Link Enhancement) — High-scale DHCP relay supporting large campus and transit deployments with many VLANs and VRFs — far beyond standard switch limits.
- 4K SVI Scale — Support for 4,000 SVIs providing broad VLAN segmentation and multi-tenant scale for campus and testbed environments.
- Built-in NAT for Labs & Testbeds — Simplifies SD-WAN and validation topologies by hosting NAT directly on the switch — no external appliance needed for ephemeral or isolated test networks.
D-LinkNOS Software Stack
Networking & Fabric
- EVPN-VXLAN VTEP (Type-2 / 3 / 5)

DevOps — Treat the Network Like Code
Overview: D-LinkNOS runs on a Debian userspace and exposes Linux kernel interfaces — making the switch a first-class citizen in CI/CD pipelines. Operators can run configuration management, telemetry collectors and custom scripts directly on the device. No additional servers or out-of-band orchestration boxes required for day-2 operations.
Why it matters: Deployments that treat the network as code gain faster rollouts, reproducible configurations and integrated telemetry-driven operations. D-LinkNOS supports common automation frameworks so network changes can be managed using the same toolchains as compute and storage.
Business value: accelerated feature delivery, lower operational friction, consistent lifecycle and monitoring across infrastructure.

Use Cases
1. Data Center — Leaf / Top-of-Rack
Overview: ToR leaf connecting server racks to 100G spine uplinks. Ideal for dense compute racks and east-west application traffic within an EVPN-VXLAN fabric.
Business value: Low-latency east-west fabric, simplified automation and predictable microburst behaviour for cloud-native workloads.
2. Campus Core — Active-Active VRRP + MLAG
Overview: Campus core delivering active-active gateway services with symmetric forwarding and high availability for multi-building enterprise networks.
Business value: Seamless failover and simple gateway operations across multi-building campus networks.
3. Border Leaf — Edge Aggregation & Peering
Overview: Edge aggregation for carrier peering, CDN connectivity and ASBR integration. Handles route policy, VRF leaking and controlled boundary exchange.
Business value: Localized peering and controlled route exchange for multi-homed enterprise and carrier sites.
4. Large-scale DHCP / NAT & 4K SVI — Multi-tenant and Testbed
Overview: Consolidate DHCP server (10K leases), built-in NAT for labs, and 4K SVI segmentation on one platform. EVPN-VXLAN virtualises the network from the underlay — enabling isolated tenant or IoT segments at scale.
Business value: Reduces appliance sprawl, speeds SD-WAN and testbed deployments, and supports large multi-tenant VLAN footprints.
