Advanced Security Features

The DGS-1100 series’ web user interface gives administrators an easy way to manage Layer 2 features, such as VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and link aggregation (desktop models utilize Static Trunk). With powerful security features including IGMP snooping, Static MAC, and Storm Control, these smart managed switches are a versatile solution for deployments that require easy to configure functionality without added complexities.

Advanced PoE Capabilities

The DGS-1100-05PDV2 does not include a power adapter. It must be powered using IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet by connecting it to a PoE switch or injector. (802.3at 30W recommended.) This allows for more flexible installation in remote areas with no readily available power outlets.

Additionally, the DGS-1100-05PDV2 switch can propagate PoE power to downstream PDs (such as IP Cameras, IP Phones, Wireless APs) using port 1 and/or port 2. This is also called PoE “pass-through”.

Easy Troubleshooting

The DGS-1100 Series features Loopback Detection and Cable Diagnostics to help network administrators find and solve network problems quickly and easily. Loopback Detection detects loops created by a specific port and automatically shuts down the affected port. The Cable Diagnostics feature is designed for network administrators to quickly examine the quality of the copper cables, recognize the cable type, and detect cable errors.
