D-Link 10-Port Multi-Gigabit Smart Managed Switch 2.5G 10G SFP+

10-Port Multi-Gigabit Smart Switch

The D-Link 10-port multi-gigabit smart managed switch delivers eight 2.5GBASE-T PoE ports and two 10G SFP+ uplinks. It provides managed Layer 2 features such as static routing, DHCP relay, DiffServ QoS and link aggregation for traffic shaping. Spanning tree protocols and IGMP/MLD snooping maintain loop-free multicast distribution. The unit is suited for networks that need powered multi-gigabit density with 10G uplink flexibility.

Who This Suits and Who It Does Not

This switch fits deployments requiring PoE power on every 2.5G copper port and high-speed fibre uplinks for aggregation. It supports VLAN segmentation, port mirroring and LACP for resilient link groups. Buyers who need more than eight powered multi-gigabit ports or who require Layer 3 dynamic routing protocols should evaluate alternative platforms. Environments without PoE devices gain no benefit from the powered port budget.

Deciding Specification: 2.5G PoE Port Count

The eight 2.5GBASE-T PoE ports are the single specification that determines fit. Each port supplies power and 2.5 Gbps bandwidth to compatible endpoints such as access points or cameras. If the installation demands a different number of powered multi-gigabit ports, this model will not match the requirement. Confirm the exact port count before purchase.
