D-Link DES-1100-26 Gigabit Smart Managed Switch

The DES-1100 EasySmart Switch Series features a full set of configurable functions that provide strong performance and scalability. The EasySmart switches include the DES-1100-16, which has 16 10/100Mbps ports, the DES-1100-24, with 24 10/100Mbps ports, and the DES-1100-26, which features 24 10/100Mbps ports and 2 Gigabit combo ports. With an easy-to-use management interface accessible via a PC utility or web browser, the DES-1100 EasySmart Switch Series helps customers to quickly and easily deploy their network. The DES-1100 Series provides a complete and affordable solution for small and medium businesses, and for communities without IT staff. They are suitable for Enterprise deployment, such as in branch offices and meeting rooms that require simple management.

The EasySmart Switch Series offers best-in-class power savings compared to other models. The DES-1100-16 saves 27.32% more energy, and the DES-1100-24 saves 10.7% more energy than a conventional D-Link unmanaged switch. This gives you an energy-efficient switch that costs less to operate. Additionally, this allows EasySmart Switches to run cooler, run silent, and have a longer lifespan.

Equipped with a complete lineup of L2 features, these switches include IGMP snooping and port mirroring. Network maintenance features include loopback detection, which is used to detect loops created by a specific port and automatically shuts down the affected port. The DES-1100 Series also supports 802.1 Quality of Service (QoS) - a mechanism that allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to two queues.

The DES-1100 series supports 802.1Q VLAN and Port-based VLAN, for traffic segregation. The bandwidth control feature allows network administrators to define the throughput levels for each port in order to manage bandwidth. It also provides fine granularity to define the ingress/egress traffic limits down to 512kbps segments. Storm control enables the detection of when broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast traffic hits the definable threshold. The switch will start blocking or discarding packets which could otherwise flood the network
