Managed L2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch D-Link DGS-1100-26MPV2

The D-Link DGS-1100-26MPV2 is a managed L2 Gigabit Ethernet switch with 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports and integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) capabilities. Designed for small and medium business networks, it supports essential Layer 2 features such as VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and static link aggregation, and includes a MAC address table and a switching capacity suitable for typical office deployments. The switch supports IEEE 802.3af/at and rack mounting for straightforward installation.

Advantages

The switch provides an easy-to-use web management interface for configuring Layer 2 functions and includes D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) for simplified initial setup. It offers advanced security and traffic controls including IGMP snooping, Static MAC and Storm Control, plus troubleshooting tools like Loopback Detection and Cable Diagnostics. High PoE budgets allow powering larger numbers of VoIP phones, wireless access points or cameras, while energy-saving D-Link Green features and a largely fanless design reduce power consumption and noise.

Suitable for

• Small and medium business wiring closets and racks
• VoIP phone deployments requiring PoE/PoE+
• Wireless access point backhaul and IP camera installations
• Networks needing basic managed Layer 2 control and monitoring

How to use

Mount the DGS-1100-26MPV2 in a rack or place it on a flat surface, connect the uplink and endpoint devices to the Gigabit RJ-45 ports and enable PoE where required. Use the Smart Web UI to configure VLANs, STP and link aggregation, or deploy D-Link’s Network Assistant for initial device discovery and setup. For centralized management and monitoring, install D-View 7 NMS with the included license to manage up to 25 nodes and two probes; optional licenses are available to expand this capacity.

Recommendations

Use Surveillance Mode in the web interface when deploying IP cameras to automatically detect security devices and place them into an Auto Surveillance VLAN to segregate and prioritize video traffic. Enable Loopback Detection and Cable Diagnostics during commissioning to identify physical cable issues and prevent network loops.
