The DES-1100-06MP Web Smart Switch is equipped with 4 10/100BASE-T ports, 2 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 4 IEEE 802.3af/at PoE ports. The DES-1100-06MP integrates advanced management and security functions to provide a complete solution for small and medium businesses and the enterprise edge.

 

Power over Ethernet

The DES-1100-06MP features 4 10/100BASE-T ports that support the IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard. Each of the 4 PoE ports can supply up to 30 Watts, with a total PoE budget of 80 Watts, allowing users to attach an 802.3at-compatible device to the DES-1100-06MP without an external power source. PoE is especially suitable for devices that are far from power outlets or when you want to minimize the clutter of extra cables. When a device is not PoE-compatible, the D-Link DWL-P50 PoE Adapter can be used to provide an external power source using standard network cabling.

 

Extensive Layer 2 Features

Equipped with a complete lineup of Layer 2 features, these switches include IGMP Snooping, Port Mirroring, Spanning Tree, and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). IEEE 802.3x Flow Control helps to prevent dropped packets by signalling to clients when the switch’s input buffer is full. Network maintenance features include Loopback Detection and Cable Diagnostics. Loopback Detection is used to detect loops created by a specific port and automatically shuts down the affected port.

 

Performance Enhancement

The DES-1100-06MP supports a variety of traffic control and performance enhancement features. The bandwidth control feature allows network administrators to define the maximum throughput for each port in order to manage bandwidth. It also provides fine granularity to define the ingress/egress traffic limits down to 512 Kbps segments. IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels and two queues.

 

Traffic & Security Features

The DES-1100-06MP supports both port-based VLANs and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, allowing traffic to be separated on a per-port basis or combined with multiple VLANs in an 802.1Q trunk. This allows VLAN information to be sent with the packet, so that multiple VLANs can be supported on a single port. Storm control enables broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast traffic to be detected, allowing thresholds to be set for the switch to block or discard these packets, preventing  possible  problems with network flooding or service disruption.

 

Versatile Management

Web Smart Switches support an intuitive SmartConsole utility and a web-based management interface that enables administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The SmartConsole easily allows customers to discover multiple D-Link WebSmart Switches within the same Layer 2 network segment. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address of their PC, making the initial setup of the Smart Switches quick and easy. Switches within the same Layer 2 network segment that are connected to the user’s local PC are displayed on screen for instant access. This allows for device discovery and configuration of basic switch settings such as password changes.
