26-port manageable Layer 3 switch

The D-Link DGS-1520-28 is a stackable smart switch designed for business networks that require routing between VLANs. It provides 26 ports in a 1U rack-mountable chassis with modular uplink flexibility. IT administrators managing growing campus or branch infrastructures will find the Layer 3 feature set appropriate for core or aggregation roles.

Practical limits of the 10G uplink mix

The unit ships with 24 1G twisted-pair ports, two 10GBase-T copper ports and two 10G SFP+ fibre ports. Total non-blocking throughput is capped by the 10G uplink budget, so heavy inter-VLAN traffic can saturate those links before the 1G edge ports fill. Optical fibre reach depends on the transceiver modules chosen, which are not included.

Installation notes and common issues

The 1U form factor fits standard racks and the modular slots accept compatible SFP+ transceivers for fibre uplinks. First-time setup requires console or web access to enable stacking, OSPF or RIP routing and PoE budgets where supported. A frequent oversight is leaving the 10G ports in default 1G mode, which wastes the available uplink capacity.
