The DXS-1100 Series 10 Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Switches are a set of Smart Layer 2 10 Gb Ethernet switches that provide an entry-level solution for Small and Medium Businesses (SMB) wishing to deploy 10 Gb Ethernet. These switches are ideal for server farms or as network aggregation devices, and provide a cost-effective and feature-rich solution to 10 Gb Ethernet

requirements.

 

Energy-Efficient

The DXS-1100 Series incorporates D-Link Green technology for increased energy efficiency. Smart fans and temperature sensors ensure that the fans are running at the optimum speed to keep the system cool. If the environment temperature is below a certain threshold or the switch is at low utilization, the smart fans will automatically slow down, resulting in lower power

consumption and noise output. Meanwhile, the Link Status feature can reduce power utilization by powering down inactive ports and putting them into sleep mode. The DXS-1100 Series also takes its Green credentials one step further by incorporating a chipset with advanced silicon technology for reduced power usage.

 

Easy to Deploy

The DXS-1100 Series supports an intuitive client-based utility (SmartConsole Utility or D-Link Network Assistant Utility) and a web-based management interface. The client-based utility allows customers to discover all switches in the D-Link Smart Switch family within the same L2 network segment. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address of their PC, making initial setup of the Smart Switches quick and easy. Switches within the same L2 network segment that are connected to the user’s PC are displayed on-screen for instant access. This allows for extensive switch configuration and basic setup of discovered devices, including password changes and firmware upgrades. The graphical web-based management interface provides a user-friendly interface that enables network administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level.

 

Auto Surveillance VLAN and Bandwidth Control

The DXS-1100 Series supports Auto Surveillance VLAN (ASV), and Auto Voice VLAN, which are best suited for Voice over IP (VoIP) and video surveillance deployments. Auto Surveillance VLAN is a new, industry-leading technology that the DXS-1100 Series provides. This technology consolidates data and surveillance video transmission through a single unit, sparing businesses the 

expense of dedicated hardware and facilities. ASV also ensures the quality of real-time video for monitoring and control without compromising the transmission of conventional network data. The Auto Voice VLAN technology enhances VoIP functionality by automatically placing voice traffic from an IP phone onto an assigned VLAN. With higher priority and an individual VLAN, these features guarantee the quality and security of VoIP traffic across the network. In addition, with Bandwidth Control, network administrators can reserve bandwidth for important functions that require higher priority or more bandwidth.

 

Advanced Features

The DXS-1100 Series is equipped with advanced security features such as Static MAC, Storm Control, and IGMP Snooping. Static MAC allows users to create a MAC whitelist for specific ports, helping administrators limit network access to authorized devices only. Storm Control monitors broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast traffic and will start blocking or discarding packets which

could flood the network when the defined threshold is exceeded. IGMP Snooping is capable of reducing the load of L3 multicast routers and save bandwidth in network throughput.

 

Easy Troubleshooting

The DXS-1100 Series features Loopback Detection and Cable Diagnostics to help network administrators quickly find and solve network problems. Loopback Detection is used to detect loops created by a specific port and automatically shuts down the affected port. Cable Diagnostics helps network administrators quickly examine the quality of the copper cables, recognize the cable type, and detect cable errors.
