D-Link DGS-1100-08V2 Managed L2 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) musta

The DGS-1100 series smart managed switches provide Layer 2 functionality and security features suitable for small and medium networks. The web user interface allows administrators to configure VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol and link aggregation (desktop models support Static Trunk). The series includes tools for traffic management such as IGMP snooping, Static MAC entries and Storm Control. Additional utilities from D-Link, including the free Network Assistant (DNA) and the D-View 7 Network Management System (license for 25 nodes and 2 probes), assist with device discovery and ongoing management. The switches include diagnostics and loopback detection for identifying cabling issues and network loops, and are designed with energy-saving features such as fanless desktop models and IEEE 802.3az compliance for reduced power consumption.

Advantages

Easy-to-use web interface for Layer 2 setup, integrated security features like IGMP snooping and Static MAC, and practical troubleshooting tools such as Loopback Detection and Cable Diagnostics. Management is simplified with free D-Link utilities (DNA and D-View 7 with a 25-node license). Desktop models are fanless and all models support energy-saving Link Status detection and 802.3az standards.

Key specifications

• Layer: Layer 2 management features (VLAN, STP)
• Link aggregation: Static Trunk on desktop models
• Security and traffic control: IGMP snooping, Static MAC, Storm Control
• Management tools: Web user interface, D-Link Network Assistant (DNA), D-View 7 (25-node license, 2 probes)
• Troubleshooting: Loopback Detection, Cable Diagnostics
• Energy efficiency: Fanless desktop models, IEEE 802.3az compliance, Link Status detection

How to use

Connect the switch to your network and access the web user interface from a browser to perform initial configuration: create VLANs, enable Spanning Tree Protocol if required, and configure link aggregation on supported desktop models. Use the D-Link Network Assistant or D-View 7 for device discovery and centralized management. Monitor network health using Loopback Detection to find loops and Cable Diagnostics to test copper cable quality and locate faults. Configure IGMP snooping and Storm Control as needed to manage multicast traffic and limit broadcast storms.

Recommendations

For first-time setup, run the free DNA utility to discover devices and apply basic configuration, then use D-View 7 for ongoing monitoring. Place desktop models where airflow is unobstructed despite their fanless design, and enable Link Status/Energy Efficient Ethernet features to maximize power savings.
