D-Link DGS-1100-26MPV2 26-Port Gigabit PoE+ Smart Managed Switch

Organise Powered Connections and Business Traffic The D-Link DGS-1100-26MPV2 brings 26 Gigabit data connections into a manageable business network. Its 24 powered copper ports share a 370W PoE budget for compatible access points, cameras and phones. Two RJ45/SFP combo connections let you choose copper or suitable fibre on each shared uplink. The web interface gives an administrator direct control over the switch without turning an ordinary access installation into a complex routing project. VLAN, traffic-priority and diagnostic functions help structure the network around its actual users and equipment. Provide suitable ventilation and allow for the published fan noise when choosing a mounting location. The per-port limit and total PoE budget must both be respected. A suitable router or firewall remains separate. Highlights Connections Matched to the Installation 26 simultaneous Gigabit data ports Two shared RJ45/SFP combo uplinks 24 powered ports; 370W shared budget Practical Traffic Control Port-based and IEEE 802.1Q VLANs Eight traffic queues per port Surveillance and voice VLAN functions Installation and Administration Smart fan cooling IPv4/IPv6 web-based management Loopback detection and copper-cable diagnostics Key Features Use the Right Ports for Each Connection 24 × 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE copper ports plus 2 shared Gigabit RJ45/SFP combo ports; 26 simultaneous logical data ports. Each RJ45/SFP pair is one logical port: choosing fibre on a pair does not add an independent extra connection. These are Gigabit interfaces, rather than 2.5GbE or 10GbE access ports. Plan Power Around the Actual Devices The switch provides 370W of shared PoE output. Ports 1–24 support IEEE 802.3af/at, up to 30W per port. Add the connected devices' maximum requirements before installation, including any device that draws more during startup or when heaters, illuminators or motors operate. The shared budget is separate from the switch's AC input consumption; port count multiplied by the per-port maximum is not the available total. Keep Different Traffic Organised Port-based and IEEE 802.1Q VLANs allow the administrator to separate users, devices or services. Voice and surveillance VLAN functions provide useful options for a correctly configured installation. The model supports 128 static VLAN groups. The router, authentication and security design still determine how traffic moves between those segments. Prioritise Traffic Without Promising More Bandwidth Eight queues per port, strict-priority or weighted-round-robin scheduling and port-based bandwidth controls let the administrator plan how traffic shares each connection. IGMP snooping helps keep multicast traffic on the links that need it. These controls organise existing link capacity; they do not create a faster internet connection or guarantee an application's response time. Troubleshoot from a Manageable Interface Use the IPv4/IPv6 web interface for configuration and monitoring. Loopback detection and cable diagnostics help investigate common link faults, with mirroring available for traffic analysis. STP/RSTP and IEEE 802.3ad aggregation support a structured installation, with up to eight aggregation groups and eight ports per group. Do not confuse link aggregation with one client's guaranteed single-stream speed. Allow for the Complete Installation The device measures 440 × 208 × 44 mm and weighs 2.8 kg, excluding shipping packaging. Desktop or 19-inch rack installation is documented, with mounting brackets included. When selecting a UPS or circuit, include the switch itself as well as the connected PoE load. Use appropriate Ethernet cabling and keep the installation within the published environmental limits. Summary The DGS-1100-26MPV2 combines 26 Gigabit data connections with useful VLAN, traffic-priority and diagnostic controls. Its 370W budget supports a planned collection of compatible powered devices, while per-port limits remain important. Select the correct SFP modules and cabling for the uplinks. Match the switch, gateway and connected equipment to the actual installation. Frequently Asked Questions Can Every Powered Port Supply Its Maximum Together?ExpandCollapse Not necessarily. All powered ports share 370W. Ports 1–24 support IEEE 802.3af/at, up to 30W per port. Whether a set of devices can run together depends on its combined demand and the configured power allocation. Plan the total before installation. Do the SFP Sockets Add Extra Ports?ExpandCollapse No. The two RJ45/SFP pairs are shared combo connections. Each pair provides one active data path, so the switch has 26 simultaneous logical ports rather than 28. Use a compatible module and fibre lead when choosing its optical interface. Is It Fanless?ExpandCollapse No. The manufacturer specifies smart fan cooling, with published acoustic figures of 35.2–50.5dB(A). Actual sound depends on operating conditions. Provide ventilation and consider the mounting location. Does It Replace a Router or Firewall?ExpandCollapse No. This is a smart managed Ethernet switch for organising local-network connections and traffic. Internet access, routing between networks and the required firewall design remain separate. Do not assume an uplink slot provides those services. Does It Include D-Lite Cloud Management?ExpandCollapse This exact model is documented with local web-based administration. It is not being supplied as a D-Lite Cloud switch. Choose management equipment and software around the exact supported platform and firmware rather than assuming all D-Link products share one controller. What Warranty Is Provided?ExpandCollapse The hardware warranty is 5 years. Installation, internet connectivity, third-party power equipment and separately purchased optical modules have their own scope and terms. Magbasa pa
