D-Link SmartPro DGS-1500 Series User Manual

01
DGS-1500 Series
SmartPro Switch
D-Link’s DGS-1500 Series SmartPro switches are
designed for SMBs which need functions such as
L3 Static Routing and Single IP Management (Virtual
Stacking) without upgrading to a managed switch.
This series integrates advanced management and
security functions that are similar to those of a
managed switch, but less complex. The switches
feature D-Link Green
TM
3.0 technology which
enable significant power savings. Additionally, the
DGS-1500-28P
1
’s 10/100/1000 Mbps ports are PoE-
enabled, offering ease-of-use and green features
like Time-based PoE, which enables the power
to the port to be shut off at a predetermined time.
Compliant with 802.3af and 802.3at, these switches
are capable of feeding power to devices of up to
30 Watts. Management options include SNMP, Web
Management, SmartConsole Utility, and Compact
CLI. The series also supports ACL filtering and
D-Link’s Safeguard Engine. The DGS-1500-20 and
DGS-1500-28 both feature a fanless design. The
fanless design allows them to emit less heat and
noise than a standard switch, making them suitable
for office environments. The DGS-1500-28P
1
and
DGS-1500-52 both feature smart fans. Using a thermal
sensor that can detect temperature change, the
smart fans can react accordingly by utilizing different
fan speeds for different temperatures.
D-Link Green Technology
D-Link is striving to take the lead in developing
innovative and power-saving technology that
does not sacrifice operational performance or
functionality.The DGS-1500 Series implements D-Link
Green Technology, which includes a power saving
mode, smart fan, reduced heat dissipation, and
cable length detection. The power-saving features
include being able to schedule when to turn off
LEDs and ports when not in use, and when to make
the switch enter hibernation mode. The switches
can also detect the length of connected cables to
automatically adjust power usage by saving energy
on shorter cable connections of up to 20 meters.
The switches can also support power-saving by link
status, which drastically reduces power consumption
by automatically toggling ports without a link to sleep
mode. The DGS-1500-28P
1
and DGS-1500-52 both
feature built-in smart fans. Using a thermal sensor
that can detect temperature change, the fans can
react accordingly by utilizing different fan speeds
for different temperatures. The Smart Fan feature
enables the built-in fans to automatically turn on at
a certain temperature, providing continuous, reliable
and eco-friendly operation of the switch.
Advanced Features
The DGS-1500 Series features advanced features
such as Virtual Stacking and Layer 3 features like
Static Routing. Virtual Stacking reduces the number
of IP addresses needed on a network by configuring
up to 32 devices to appear as a single unit with one
IP address. This simplifies network management
for small workgroups and allows for switches to be
added without special cabling.
Extensive Layer 2 Features
These switches are equipped with a complete lineup
of Layer 2 features including IGMP Snooping, Port
Mirroring, Spanning Tree, and Link Layer Discovery
Protocol (LLDP). The IEEE 802.3x Flow Control function
allows servers to directly connect to the switch for
fast, reliable data transfer. At 2000 Mbps Full Duplex,
the Gigabit ports provide high-speed data pipes to
servers with minimum data transfer loss. Network
maintenance features include Loopback Detection
and Cable Diagnostics. Loopback Detection is used to
detect loops created by a specific port or VLAN and
automatically shut down the affected port or VLAN.
The Cable Diagnostics feature, designed primarily for
adminstrators and customer service representatives,
can quickly discover the type of error on cables and
determine the cable quality.
QoS, Bandwidth Control
The DGS-1500 Series supports Auto Surveillance
VLAN (ASV) and Auto Voice VLAN, which are best
suited for VoIP and video surveillance deployments.
Auto Surveillance VLAN is a new, industry-leading
technology built into D-Link Smart Switches. This
technology consolidates data and surveillance video
transmission through a single SmartPro switch,
thus sparing businesses the expense of maintaining
