DGS-1250-28XMP

Featuring 24 10/100/1000Base-T PoE ports and four 10GBase-X SFP+ ports, the DGS-1250-28XMP customizable switch supports D-Link Green technology and advanced management and security features for high performance and network scalability. Management features include SNMP, Web-based management, D-Link Network Assistant utility and CLI.

Power over Ethernet
The 24 ports on this switch support the IEEE 802.3at PoE standard. Each PoE port supplies power up to 30 watts for a total switch budget of 370 watts, which allows users to connect devices compatible with the 802.3at standard to the DGS-1250-28XMP. This allows equipment to be placed in hard-to-reach locations regardless of the location of electrical outlets and minimizes cabling.

Power Savings
DGS-1250-28XMP switch complies with standard IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet and consumes less power at a lower traffic volume. DGS-1250-28XMP also supports D-Link Green technology, which provides automatic reduction of power consumption. The switch detects the connection status of each port and automatically shuts down inactive ports.

Layer 2 features
The DGS-1250-28XMP switch supports a full suite of Layer 2 features, including IGMP Snooping, Port Mirroring, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). IEEE 802.3x flow control allows you to optimize the switch's workload for more reliable data transmission. Supporting speeds of up to 2000Mbps on each of the copper ports in full-duplex mode, the switch provides the high performance needed to connect workstations. The switch supports cable diagnostics and Loopback Detection. Loopback Detection is used to detect loops and automatically shuts down the port where a loop is detected. The Cable Diagnostics are used to determine the condition of the twisted pair cable and the type of cable fault.

Auto Surveillance VLAN and Auto Voice VLAN
The DGS-1250-28XMP supports Auto Surveillance VLAN (ASV) and Auto Voice VLAN, making it ideal for video surveillance and IP telephony deployments. The feature automatically identifies video and VoIP equipment on the network and separates them into separate VLANs, allowing each to receive the highest priority for video and voice traffic. Support for Auto Surveillance VLAN and Auto Voice VLAN ensures stable video and VoIP applications, quality transmission and maximum protection for multimedia traffic regardless of the overall network load. In addition, the DGS-1250-28XMP can automatically detect ONVIF-compliant equipment such as network cameras and storage devices, as well as a Web UI mode for easy monitoring of surveillance systems.

Network security
The D-Link Safeguard Engine feature provides an effective mechanism to protect the switch from malicious traffic. 802.1X port authentication allows the use of an external RADIUS server for user authentication. In addition, the Access Control Lists (ACL) feature enhances network security by filtering out traffic originating from unauthorized MAC/IP addresses. The DGS-1250-28XMP also supports ARP Spoofing, which protects your network from attacks that can alter or delay traffic by sending spoofed ARP messages. In order to prevent ARP Spoofing attacks, the switch uses access control lists to block packets containing false ARP messages. To enhance the security, the DHCP Server Screening feature denies access to unauthorized DHCP servers.

Convenient Management
The DGS-1250-28XMP switch can be managed by the D-Link Network Assistant utility or via the Web interface. The utility automatically detects and displays D-Link Smart series switches belonging to the same L2 network segment. With this utility the user does not need to change the IP address of his computer, which simplifies the initial installation of the switch. The user has access to advanced configuration and basic settings of detected devices, such as changing the password and updating the software. The DGS-1250-28XMP also supports the command line interface (CLI) and SNMP.
