D-Link DGS-1530-28/E - Smart Managed Switch, Black

The D-Link DGS-1530-28/E is a Layer 2 smart managed switch designed for corporate LAN traffic management. It features 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports for standard device connectivity and four 10G SFP+ slots for high-speed fibre uplinks to core networks. The switch has a total switching capacity of 128 Gbit/s and a forwarding rate of 95.24 Mpps. As a non-PoE model, the hardware is dedicated to high-throughput data transfer. Administrators can use link aggregation and spanning tree protocols to build a resilient, loop-free topology.

The 440 x 140 x 44 mm chassis supports rack-mounting for integration into standard server cabinets. Physical stacking allows network engineers to combine up to nine compatible units, scaling port density without creating separate management endpoints. A single built-in fan cools the system, generating a noise level of 40.9 dB while drawing a maximum of 32 W under full load. Device configuration is accessible via a web-based GUI, a dedicated RJ-45 console port for command-line interface access, or SNMP for centralised monitoring. Network security includes access control lists (ACL), RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication, and support for up to 4,096 active VLANs to isolate traffic.

• MAC address table capacity of 16,000 entries.
• 1.5 MB packet buffer memory to absorb traffic bursts.
• Mean time between failures (MTBF) of 530,607 hours.
• Quality of Service (QoS) support with traffic classification for prioritising latency-sensitive voice or video data.
• Advanced port security, including ARP inspection and MAC address filtering, to block unauthorised network access.
• IGMP snooping to optimise multicast traffic delivery and reduce bandwidth consumption.
