Don't use "VLAN" in your search query, because that's usually what people
say when they mean tagged VLANs (separating VLAN traffic whilst carrying it
on the same wires). "layer 3 switching" may be better.

The obvious place to start is the manufacturer's website:
http://www.dlink.com/
Select your product from the "quick find" drop-down menu on the top-left
corner.

Then I see there's a link for "product manual", which actually doesn't work:
ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Switch/des3326SRM/Manual/des3326SRM_manual_101504.zip

but you can browse the FTP site. It seems the 'Manual' subdirectory doesn't
exist, but the 'CLIreference' one does, from where you can get
"des3326SRM_CLI\ reference_073103.pdf"

Looking at the table of contents I see:
p195 - IP interface commands
p215 - routing table commands
p301 - OSPF configuration commands

HTH,
