2. Power over Ethernet (PoE):
- The switch supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable to compatible devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. This reduces the need for additional power adapters and simplifies the installation process, making it ideal for environments where power outlets are limited or difficult to access.
- PoE+ support: The DGS-F1100-E is capable of supplying IEEE 802.3at PoE+ to each port, ensuring that high-power devices can be powered without compromising performance.
3. Smart Managed Switch:
- As a smart managed switch, the DGS-F1100-E offers advanced features for network optimization and management, including:
- VLAN (Virtual LAN) Support: VLAN functionality allows for network segmentation, providing better traffic management and enhancing security by isolating different types of network traffic.
- QoS (Quality of Service): With QoS features, the switch prioritizes traffic based on the type of service, ensuring optimal performance for time-sensitive applications like VoIP or video conferencing.
- IGMP Snooping: Supports IGMP Snooping for multicast traffic, which ensures efficient bandwidth usage by forwarding multicast traffic only to the relevant ports.
- Port Mirroring: Enables monitoring of network traffic by duplicating the data from one port to another for diagnostic purposes.
- Link Aggregation: Combines multiple network connections to increase bandwidth and redundancy, preventing bottlenecks in high-traffic environments.
- Port Security: Provides security measures like MAC address filtering to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the safety of the network.
4. User-Friendly Management Interface:
- The DGS-F1100-E features a web-based interface for easy setup and management, allowing administrators to configure and monitor the switch remotely. It also supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for integration with network management software.
- The management interface is intuitive and provides easy access to key features such as VLAN configuration, PoE management, traffic monitoring, and more.
5. High-Performance Design:
- The switch is designed to handle high-speed data transfers, making it suitable for both office and industrial environments. It provides low latency and high throughput, ensuring a stable and fast network for applications that require quick data access and minimal delay.
- Fanless Design: The DGS-F1100-E is designed with a fanless architecture, making it silent and more durable with less risk of mechanical failure. This makes it ideal for noise-sensitive environments.
6. Energy Efficiency:
- The switch is designed with energy efficiency in mind, adhering to the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, which reduces power consumption when network traffic is low. This helps lower operating costs and reduces the environmental impact of the network.
7. Reliability & Durability:
- The DGS-F1100-E is built to be highly reliable and durable, offering extended uptime for critical business applications. It is engineered with robust components to withstand demanding operating conditions.
8. Auto-negotiation & Auto-MDI/MDI-X:
- The switch automatically detects the speed and duplex mode of connected devices and adjusts accordingly. It also features Auto-MDI/MDI-X functionality, which eliminates the need for crossover cables when connecting devices to the switch.
9. Advanced Security Features:
- 802.1X Authentication: Ensures secure access to the network, allowing only authorized devices to connect.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): Restrict access to sensitive resources based on IP address, MAC address, or protocol, providing granular control over network traffic.
- Port Isolation: Prevents devices connected to different ports from communicating with each other, enhancing security within the network.
10. Compact and Rackmountable Design:
- The compact form factor of the DGS-F1100-E allows it to be deployed in a variety of environments, whether it’s placed on a desk, mounted on a wall, or installed in a server rack using optional rackmount kits.
