D-Link DGS-1250-28XMP 28-Port Smart Managed L3 Lite PoE+ Gigabit Switch with 4x 10G SFP+ Uplinks, 370W PoE Budget, Rack-Mountable

For growing networks that demand both high-density Power over Ethernet and future-ready 10G uplinks, the D-Link DGS-1250-28XMP stands apart from typical smart switches. It combines 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports with a generous 370 W power budget and four 10-Gigabit SFP+ slots, all in a 1U rack-mountable chassis. This L3 Lite managed switch delivers the essential routing, security, and management features your business needs without the complexity or cost of a full enterprise chassis.

Highlights

• 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30 W per port)
• 4 x 10G SFP+ uplink ports for high-speed backbone or server connections
• Total PoE budget of 370 W to power IP phones, cameras, and access points
• Layer 3 Lite static routing for inter-VLAN communication and network segmentation
• Comprehensive security: 802.1X, ACL, DHCP snooping, ARP spoofing prevention, and port security
• Smart fan design with energy-efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) for lower power consumption
• Web-based GUI, CLI, SNMP, and D-Link SIM for flexible management

In daily use

Deploying this switch means you can connect a full floor of PoE-powered devices—surveillance cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points—while still having four 10G SFP+ ports to link to a core switch or high-speed NAS. The L3 Lite capabilities allow you to route between VLANs directly on the switch, reducing the load on your router and improving overall network efficiency. Advanced QoS and VLAN features ensure smooth voice and video traffic, while the intuitive web interface makes setup and monitoring straightforward even for non-specialist IT staff.
