D-Link DGS-1520-28

D-Link DGS-1520-28 managed switch is designed for enterprise networks requiring high performance and advanced features. The switch offers a combination of 24 Gigabit ports for end devices and 4 10GbE ports for connecting to servers or core networks. Thanks to support for L3 features, such as static and dynamic routing, it manages traffic routing between different networks. To ensure uninterrupted operation, you can stack up to 8 switches and connect a redundant power supply.

Flexible connectivity and network management

D-Link DGS-1520-28 switch provides extensive connectivity options with its combination of 24 Gigabit and 4 10GbE ports. The 1GbE ports are ideal for connecting workstations, printers, and other standard devices. High-speed 10GbE ports (two copper and two SFP+ slots) handle demanding tasks such as server connections or core links. Network management is simplified by support for up to 4094 VLANs, letting you logically segment the network to increase security and optimise traffic. Features like Q-in-Q further expand network virtualisation capabilities.

Advanced features and L3 routing

This model goes beyond standard L2 features to offer full L3 routing. Support for static and dynamic routing (RIP and OSPF protocols) lets the switch route traffic between different subnets without needing an external router. To ensure high availability, the switch implements VRRP to create a backup virtual router. The switch also supports PIM-DM and PIM-SM multicast protocols to manage data distribution to multiple recipients, which is ideal for video streaming or CCTV systems.

Scalability and high reliability

Scalability is crucial for growing businesses, and D-Link DGS-1520-28 delivers this through physical stacking. You can connect and manage up to 8 switches as a single device, which simplifies administration and enables easy expansion of network capacity. Operational reliability is backed by the option to connect a redundant power supply, ensuring continuous operation even if the primary power source fails. The durable metal design and an extended operating temperature range from -5 to 50°C guarantee reliable performance in various conditions.
