D-Link DGS-F1100-26PSD-SI 26-Port D-Lite Cloud Managed PoE+ Switch

Gigabit PoE Switching with Free-for-Life Cloud Management The D-Link DGS-F1100-26PSD-SI brings 24 Gigabit PoE+ connections and two Gigabit SFP uplinks into a Layer 2 managed switch. It is designed for networks with compatible wireless access points, IP cameras or phones that benefit from power and data over the same Ethernet cable. A shared 350 W PoE budget supports the installation when the connected devices are sized within both the per-port and total limits. D-Lite Cloud management is free for life, without a recurring cloud licence charge. Use the portal or app to organise supported devices and manage distributed sites, while web and CLI interfaces provide local administration. A D-Lite account and an internet connection are required for remote cloud functions; the switch does not replace the site's router, firewall or internet service. Highlights Connections for a PoE Network 24 × 10/100/1000 Mbps IEEE 802.3af/at PoE ports 2 × Gigabit SFP uplink slots Separate RJ45 console port for administration A Clear Power Budget 350 W shared PoE budget Up to 30 W per PoE+ port Power limits, port priority and scheduled PoE controls Local and Multi-Site Control Free-for-life D-Lite Cloud management Web GUI, CLI, SNMP and LLDP 5-year hardware warranty Key Features Power Compatible Devices from One Switch IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at support allows compatible devices to receive power and data through their Ethernet connection. Each powered port can provide up to 30 W, subject to the switch's shared 350 W budget. Check the actual requirement of every access point, camera or phone rather than multiplying the maximum port rating by the port count. Use Fibre Where the Network Needs It Two Gigabit SFP slots provide uplinks for a suitable optical module and fibre connection. Select the transceiver, fibre type and reach for the equipment at both ends. These are Gigabit SFP interfaces, not 10G SFP+ slots. Optical modules and fibre leads are selected separately for the installation. Manage Sites Without a Recurring Cloud Licence D-Lite Cloud brings supported switches and access points into one management environment. Device visibility, remote configuration and network monitoring help a small team administer more than one site. Cloud management is free for life for supported D-Lite devices; hardware, internet connectivity and any installation or support services remain separate. Organise Traffic with Layer 2 Controls VLANs, link aggregation, spanning-tree protocols and QoS provide tools for an organised network design. The switch supports static and dynamic aggregation, STP/RSTP/MSTP and eight traffic queues per port. These functions need a planned configuration alongside the router and connected switches; Layer 2 management does not by itself create a routed firewall or VPN gateway. Keep Power and Fault-Finding Accessible Port power limits, priority and scheduled supply periods help control PoE use. LLDP, port mirroring, logs, cable detection and network diagnostic tools support troubleshooting. Use the separate console interface for administration, and keep the fan and ventilation clear in a suitable indoor equipment area. Summary Choose the DGS-F1100-26PSD-SI for a 24-device Gigabit PoE access layer when its 350 W budget, two fibre uplinks and D-Lite Cloud management suit the site. Plan the power demand and upstream network together, then use the available Layer 2 controls to keep the installation understandable and manageable. Frequently Asked Questions Is D-Lite Cloud Management Free for Life?ExpandCollapse Yes. D-Lite Cloud management for supported devices is free for life without a recurring cloud licence fee. A D-Lite account and internet access are required for cloud functions. The hardware, internet service and installation or support work are separate. How Many Devices Can Receive PoE Power?ExpandCollapse 24 Ethernet ports support IEEE 802.3af/at PoE output, with up to 30 W per port and a shared 350 W budget. The sum of the connected devices' power requirements must remain within the total budget. Not every port can supply its maximum 30 W simultaneously. Does It Have a Separate Gigabit Copper Uplink?ExpandCollapse The data connections are the powered Gigabit RJ45 ports and two Gigabit SFP slots. The additional RJ45 socket is labelled Console for management; do not treat it as another ordinary Ethernet data uplink. A fibre uplink requires a suitable SFP module and fibre connection. Can It Manage Wi-Fi or Replace a Router?ExpandCollapse It can be managed alongside supported D-Lite access points in D-Lite Cloud, and it can power suitable PoE access points. The switch itself does not transmit Wi-Fi and does not replace the router or firewall that provides internet routing and security policy. Will It Run Every PoE Access Point or Camera?ExpandCollapse Check the required PoE standard, voltage and power demand. This model provides IEEE 802.3af/at up to 30 W per port; a device requiring PoE++ or more power needs another suitable power source. The shared 350 W budget also applies. Is It Fanless and What Warranty Is Provided?ExpandCollapse No. The manufacturer lists one fan. Install the switch indoors with clear ventilation and access to the appropriate AC supply. A 5-year hardware warranty is provided; the free cloud-management service is a separate part of the offering. 続きを読む
