The D-Link DGS-1100 series is designed as a cost-effective solution for SOHO/SMB and smaller branches, meeting rooms, and installations where you need basic managed features without unnecessary complexity. The switch enables convenient management via a graphical web interface and also offers a command line (CLI) via Telnet for faster configuration.
For better traffic organization, it supports Layer 2 management features such as VLAN, Spanning Tree (STP), and static link aggregation. Security and protection mechanisms are also included, such as IGMP snooping, Static MAC, and Storm Control. For clearer network operation, quick configuration is helped by automatic detection of devices from D-Link and other manufacturers.
A major advantage is PoE power, which simplifies installation of IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras. Administrators are also assisted by troubleshooting tools such as loop detection (automatic port shutdown when a loop occurs) and cable diagnostics to test copper cable quality and detect faults.
