D-Link DGS-3130-54PS 54-Port Gigabit PoE+ Layer 3 Stackable Switch

Connect and Power the Network Around Your Business The D-Link DGS-3130-54PS combines 48 × gigabit rj45 poe+ access with two 10GBASE-T and 4 10G SFP+ uplinks. It brings switching, dynamic routing and physical stacking into a rackmount platform for business networks that need organised connectivity, clear traffic separation and practical room for expansion. A shared 370W PoE budget supplies compatible access points, IP cameras and other powered devices, with up to 30W per PoE port. VLANs, access controls and monitoring tools help keep day-to-day administration consistent. Choose the uplink optics, cables and any optional power equipment to suit the installation; published link rates describe interface capability rather than guaranteed application throughput.

Separate 10G copper and SFP+ uplinks provide a faster path towards aggregation switches and suitable servers. Select cabling and endpoint interfaces for the intended speed. Power Devices from a Planned Budget IEEE 802.3af/at PoE supports compatible powered devices with up to 30W per port, shared within the 370W system budget. Add the actual maximum demand of the connected devices and allow sensible operating headroom. The switch does not provide 60W or 90W IEEE 802.3bt power from its access ports. Grow with a Co-ordinated Physical Stack Up to six 54-port models in a physical stack. Mixed stacks allow up to nine units with a maximum combined stack cost of 12: a 30-port model counts as one and a 54-port model counts as two. Stacking bandwidth is up to 80 Gbps per device and uses 10G interfaces. A stack can simplify administration across multiple units and support a redundant ring design when correctly cabled. Physical stacking is different from virtual management, and the available forwarding and uplink design still need to match the workload. Route Between Network Segments IPv4/IPv6 routing supports static routes, RIP/RIPng and OSPFv2/v3, with policy-based routing and VRRP tools for a suitably designed network. Use these functions to organise traffic between departments, services or VLANs while keeping access policies deliberate. Route-table limits and the upstream firewall or gateway remain part of the overall design. Keep Shared Services Organised VLANs, link aggregation, spanning-tree protocols and Ethernet Ring Protection Switching help structure a resilient Layer 2 network. Eight QoS queues provide traffic-priority controls, while IGMP and MLD snooping help manage multicast distribution. The resulting performance depends on a sound topology and correctly configured endpoints. Make Administration Easier to Maintain A separate out-of-band management port and serial console support administration without consuming the normal data-port count. USB 2.0 supports documented configuration, image and log tasks. Authentication, DHCP snooping, access-control lists and monitoring tools help support consistent operations. Dual images and configuration files provide useful options when planning controlled firmware changes. Summary The DGS-3130-54PS brings Gigabit PoE+ access, 10G uplinks and Layer 3 management together in a stackable business switch. Its value is in a balanced network design: suitable access links, deliberate segmentation, properly sized uplinks and a realistic PoE budget.

Frequently Asked Questions Which Ports Provide 10-Gigabit Connections?ExpandCollapse Two 10GBASE-T ports and 4 SFP+ slots provide the 10G uplink interfaces. The 48 access ports are Gigabit RJ45 connections. Console and out-of-band management ports are for administration rather than extra data connections. How Much PoE Power Is Available?ExpandCollapse The switch provides a 370W shared PoE budget with up to 30W per compatible IEEE 802.3af/at access port. Individual port limits and the total budget both apply. Check every powered device and allow headroom before choosing the switch. How Many Switches Can Be Stacked?ExpandCollapse Up to six 54-port models in a physical stack. Mixed stacks allow up to nine units with a maximum combined stack cost of 12: a 30-port model counts as one and a 54-port model counts as two. Stacking bandwidth is up to 80 Gbps per device and uses 10G interfaces. Are SFP Modules and Stacking Cables Included?ExpandCollapse Select compatible optical modules or direct-attach cables separately for the intended link. Match the transceiver standard, fibre type, reach and switch compatibility. Where a 10G interface is used for stacking, include that allocation in the port plan. Can the Switch Route Between VLANs?ExpandCollapse Yes. The documented Layer 3 functions include IPv4/IPv6 static routing, RIP/RIPng and OSPFv2/v3, alongside VLAN segmentation and access controls. It is a managed switch rather than a complete substitute for the internet gateway, firewall or security services. IPv4 PIM-SM multicast routing is documented for standalone operation only. What Should Be Checked Before Installation?ExpandCollapse Confirm the rack space, ventilation, mains supply, uplink media and connected-device PoE demand. Dimensions, bare-device weight and power figures vary by hardware revision; confirm the supplied unit when planning a tight rack or power installation. The warranty is 5 years. Optional backup-power equipment and optics require their own exact compatibility check. Read more
