DGS-1100-05V2

Initial review here was for the 5-port Smart Managed switch non-POE version. Purchased additional 5 & 8 port POE managed switches; found the 5 port POE switch does not include a power adapter! While the 8 port POE managed switch does include a power adapter rated for 54 volts @ 1.67 amps. As I speculated, the (8 port managed) POE switches use ~52-58 mA power while using no ports and subsequently connecting one non-POE uplink port. Nice metal case with large mounting holes, for wall mounting. Include a ground screw too! Has a web user interface supposedly on 10.90.90.90/255.0.0.0, but since I do not have my network configured for this address, have yet to use it. Albeit, I'd probably leave the settings at default anyways, as I just need a good switch of similar quality to Linksys/Cisco equipment.

I mean not much to say about this switch. It works and the management interface is functional. And for this price what’s not to like

Good: Nice features and design, can be managed through web management (multiple browsers supported) or D-Link Network Assistant. Not so good: Since I don't want to have to change any IP addresses (required when using the web-management method) I need to use the D-Link Network Assistant. Unfortunately, the only way to obtain this DNA utility is apparently through Chrome extension. Not only is it weird that this is only made available through Chrome, IMO signing in to Google to manage my network sort of defeats the purpose of the security for which a managed switch is used in the first place.

the new modoms only have one plug in for the two computers in my office. this fixed the problem

WORKS WELL, AS PRESENTED. HAVE NOT WORKED WITH SMART FEATURES, AS IT IS DOING FINE ON ITS OWN!

small, low power and correctly handles 802.1q vlans.

The default settings defined in the manual make ZERO sense, especially on a L2 switch that has no DHCP/DNS capabilities. The default gateway is actually impossible. IP address is 10.90.90.90 / SB Mask 255.0.0.0 / Default Gateway 0.0.0.0 I actually have the 8 port version on another network. I was able to define a working IP for the http UI through the D-Link network app, but that is no longer available. A factory reset would reduce that to an unmanaged switch as well. These used to be a great value. Decisions by management and a lack of support has stripped this product of any such distinction along with any chance I'd buy any of their products in the future.

Do what it says first time, everytime since installation.

For the money you can not go wrong with this managed switch, it even supports SNMP and bolts into Zabbix for monitoring. If I had any wish I'd love if it had a 2.5G or SFP port for uplink ... Power consumption is low 3-4W, it's nice and compact, and the power cable goes out the back. Setup is a little bizarre, the switch is not DHCP enabled (10.90.90.90) out of the box, but this was easily accommodated. And when you make changes and apply them in sub menus, be sure and click save configuration or every time you have a reboot or a power off of the switch you will loose your changes.

Muy robusta construcción funciona al toque

The device is no longer supported, but there is a final update you can apply. I wanted a managed switch, so I could shape network traffic, works as advertised.

Great device, it was a direct replacement for my old one that failed after about 3 years. Highly recommend them!
