The DGS-1100-08PD Configurable Switch is the ideal solution for small and medium-sized businesses and enterprise networking applications such as branch offices and business meeting rooms where simple management is required. DGS-1100-08PD supports PoE power, which allows the switch to be placed in places where there are no electrical outlets, as well as minimizing the cable installation. Each model comes in a compact desktop metal enclosure with a passive ventilation system for silent operation. The DGS-1100-08PD's management, diagnostics and troubleshooting features, as well as energy-saving technology, make it suitable for a variety of applications.
D-Link Green energy-saving technology Switch DGS-1100-08PD meets the standard IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, consuming less power at a lower traffic volume. Installation of devices EEE provides small and medium-sized businesses save money by reducing costs associated with the purchase of equipment for cooling. DGS-1100 Series switches feature D-Link Green technology which automatically reduces power consumption. The switch also detects the connection status of each port and automatically shuts down inactive ports.
Easy Management The DGS-1100-08PD switch can be managed with the D-Link Network Assistant utility and via the Web interface. The management utility allows you to locate switches from D-Link Smart series in the same L2 network segment, which provides easy initial installation of switches. Advanced configuration and basic settings of detected devices, such as password changes and software updates, are available to the administrator. Using the Web interface, it is possible to manage the switch down to the port level. The interface is accessible through a Web browser, allowing you to monitor the switch from any computer connected to the network.
Surveillance VLAN and bandwidth management DGS-1100-08PD switch supports Surveillance VLAN for video surveillance. This allows you to set a separate high-priority VLAN to separate surveillance traffic from the rest of the network. This ensures network security and high video quality, thus reducing the cost associated with purchasing additional equipment. Bandwidth management functionality allows you to reserve bandwidth on a port-by-port basis for various bandwidth-intensive or high-priority applications.
Advanced feature set DGS-1100-08PD switch supports advanced security features such as Static MAC, network storm protection and IGMP Snooping. Static MAC function allows you to create a "white" list of MAC-addresses, allowing access only to authorized devices. The Network Storm Protection feature is required to limit broadcast, multicast or unknown unicast traffic to a specified threshold. The switch blocks or discards packets that fall under this restriction, as large amounts of such traffic can cause network congestion. The IGMP Snooping feature can reduce the amount of multicast traffic and increase network performance.
Easy troubleshooting DGS-1100-08PD switch supports Loopback Detection and cable diagnostics, allowing network administrators to quickly and easily identify and correct network problems. Loopback Detection is used to detect loops and automatically shuts down the port where a loop is detected. The Cable Diagnostics feature is designed to identify the types of copper cables as well as the type of cable fault.
