D-Link Web Smart DGS-1224TP

D-Link Web Smart DGS-1224TP ... simplicity with exceptional performance and reliability for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking. Housed in a new style rack-mount metal case with easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs, this switch provides extensive security features and the option to connect fiber links with its 4 SFP expansion slots.

Each port of this switch has the ability to provide power over the Ethernet cables to devices such as IP phones, wireless Access Points and IP surveillance cameras, provided they comply with the 802.3af specification.

The switch provides MAC address filters to screen access to the network. It supports 802.1X port-based authentication, allowing the network to be configured with external RADIUS servers. Additional features like the D-Link Safeguard Engine protect the switch against traffic flooding caused by virus/worm outbreaks.

The switch supports 802.1Q VLAN Tagging for traffic segmentation by groups to enhance network security and performance. It also supports 802.1p Priority Queues, enabling administrators to run bandwidth-sensitive applications such as streaming multimedia and VoIP on the network. These functions allow the switch to work seamlessly with managed VLAN and 802.1p traffic on the network.

Implemented as a complete L2 device, this switch includes functions such as Jumbo frame support, IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree, port trunks and 802.3x Flow Control to enhance network performance and reliability.

Switch configuration and management are provided by the SmartConsole utility or a web-based GUI. SmartConsole is an easy way to access the switch from a local PC; there is no need to type in any IP address or subnet as all switches connected on the network are displayed on the screen for instant access.

Innovative technology in this switch provides energy savings, by powering down ports when the connected computers are powered off, drastically reducing power used for those ports.
