The D-Link DGS-1100-24P 24-Port PoE Gigabit Smart Managed Switch is a versatile and cost-effective solution designed for small to medium-sized businesses needing robust network management and power delivery capabilities. This smart switch features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, all equipped with PoE (Power over Ethernet), allowing users to power devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the network cables. With a PoE budget of up to 100W and support for IEEE 802.3af/at standards, it can deliver a maximum of 30W per port, making it suitable for various high-powered devices.

The DGS-1100-24P is designed for easy management with its web-based GUI, enabling straightforward configuration and monitoring of network settings. It also supports D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) for centralized management of multiple D-Link devices, providing enhanced control over network resources. Key management features include VLAN support, Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, IGMP Snooping for optimized multicast streams, and Loopback Detection for troubleshooting.

With a switching capacity of 52 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 38.69 Mpps, the DGS-1100-24P ensures efficient data handling, making it ideal for high-traffic environments. It also includes 2 Combo 10/100/1000BASE-T/SFP ports for uplink flexibility, allowing seamless integration with other network devices. The Layer 2 features such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and Link Aggregation provide enhanced stability and redundancy for network performance.

The switch is designed with D-Link Green Technology, including Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which helps reduce power consumption when network traffic is low. Its smart fan design ensures efficient cooling while keeping noise levels to a minimum, making it suitable for office environments. The device is also rack-mountable (1U height), fitting neatly into server racks for organized installations.
