Features of D-Link DGS-1100 Series Gigabit Smart Switches
PoE Support
In the DGS-1100 series, some models offer Power over Ethernet (PoE) functions. This function enables the product to power devices such as IP cameras directly, making it suitable for enterprises that need to power VoIP phones or wireless access points. Furthermore, network administrators can control PoE functions from anywhere on the network.
Layer 2 Management Features
The DGS-1100 series features complete L2 management, allowing servers to connect directly to switches and ensuring that data is transmitted fast and reliably. Moreover, through multiple interfaces, this device can handle inter-VLAN routing directly. These functions contribute to the efficient operation of the network.
Easy Troubleshooting
The DGS-1100 series has Loopback Detection and Cable Diagnostics functions. These technologies enable network administrators to identify and resolve network issues with ease and effectiveness.
Silent and Energy-saving
The majority of the series features a fanless design, allowing the device to operate silently. This series of products adopts D-Link Green technology. It can automatically reduce power consumption when unnecessary, without compromising the device’s performance. These functions enable the device to operate silently and efficiently, saving energy.
Weaknesses of D-Link DGS-1100 Series Gigabit Smart Switches
PoE Power Supply Issues
While testing this product, we found that it only powers a single PoE pass-through device. Due to insufficient power, it cannot power both a simple camera and a WiFi access point simultaneously. Only when the power required by the two PoE pass-through devices is lower than the power budget of PoE can PoE power the two devices.
Network Failure Issues
While using this device, we have encountered various network failure issues, including packet loss, ping delays, network lag, and severe interruptions. These network issues have caused considerable inconvenience to us. For users unfamiliar with the device, dealing with the problems may be even more challenging, or they may have to change the device.
Lack of L3 Function
This product does not have an L3 function, which means it can only achieve static routing and cannot act as a distributed gateway. Lacking the L3 function also leads to the loss of power redundancy. It prevents the equipment from automatically switching when the main power supply fails.
Application Scenarios of D-Link DGS-1100 Series Gigabit Smart Switches
The DGS-1100 Series is a good choice for small and medium-sized enterprises with limited budgets. The device has a wide range of functions and is easy for users to manage. The PoE functions make the product ideal for enterprises or customers who have a demand for monitoring systems. Due to its fanless design, the product can also be used in places with strict noise requirements. However, it is ideal only for users with low power requirements and who do not have L3 function demands.
Compatible SFP Module and Patch Cable for D-Link DGS-1100 Series Switches
The DGS-1110 series features different models, each corresponding to a varying number of ports. Take DGS-1100-08 as an example; it includes 8 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports. The ports support multiple SFP modules and patch cables. To help you find alternatives at a low cost and of the same quality, we have listed a series of compatible SFP modules and patch cables from OPTCORE for your quick reference.
