Product Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of D-Link Web Smart Switch Products.
D-Link's next generation Web Smart Ethernet switch series blends plug-and-play simplicity with exceptional
value and reliability for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking. All models are housed in a new
style rack-mount metal case with easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs, and provides advance features
including two combo 1000BASE-T/SFP and two additional Gigabit uplinks, network security, traffic
segmentation, QoS and versatile management.
Choices of 24 and 48 ports. Two port densities are available for selection: 24 Ethernet ports and 48
Ethernet ports. Supporting auto-detection of MDI/MDIX, these switches bring inexpensive and easy Ethernet
connection to the desktops. Each switch provides 4 Gigabit uplinks connection to a Gigabit backbone or
servers. 2 of the Gigabit ports are combo with the SFP which support both 1000 and 100M fiber connection.
Power Over Ethernet Option. Switch model DES-1228P provides built-in 802.3af Power over Ethernet for
network sites needing to run power over the network cables. Each the 24 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet ports of
this switch provides up to 15.4 watts power for connected wireless access points, IP phones and other PoE-
supported devices, allowing them to be deployed at difficult places such as on high walls and ceilings, where
AC power outlets are not readily available.
Extensive Layer 2 Features. Implemented as complete L2 devices, these switches include functions such
as IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree and port trunks to enhance performance and network
resiliency.
Traffic Segmentation and QoS. The switches support 802.1Q VLAN standard tagging by prioritizing traffic
to enhance network security and performance. Also support 802.1p priority queues, enabling users to run
bandwidth-sensitive applications such as streaming multimedia and VoIP in network. These functions allow
switches to work seamlessly with VLAN and 802.1p traffic in network. Asymmetric VLAN is implemented in
these switches for a more efficient use of shared resources such as server or gateway devices.
Network Security. D-Link’s innovative Safeguard Engine function protects the switches against traffic
flooding caused by virus attacks. Additional features like MAC address filters screen access to the network.
They support 802.1X port-based authentication, allowing network to be configured with external RADIUS
servers..
Versatile Management. The new generation of Gigabit web smart switches provides growing businesses
simple and easy management of their network using an intuitive SmartConsole utility or a Web-Based
management interface that allows administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The
SmartConsole easily allows customers to discover multiple D-Link web smart switches with the same L2
network segment connected to user’s local PC. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address
of PC and also provides easy initial setting of smart switches. The switches with the same L2 network
segment connected to user’s local PC are displayed on the screen for instant access. It allows extensive
switch configuration setting, and basic configuration of discovered devices such as password change,
firmware upgrade.
In addition, users can also use the built-in MIB to poll the switches for information about their status and send
traps of abnormal events. MIB support allows users to integrate the switches with other third-party devices
for management in an SNMP environment.
In addition, users can also use the built-in MIB browser to poll the switches for information about their status
and send traps of abnormal events. MIB support allows users to integrate the switches with third-party
devices for management in an SNMP environment.
