Product Overview
The D-Link DGS-1520-28 is a versatile, stackable managed switch designed for expanding enterprise networks. It offers 24 x 10/100/1000Base-T ports along with 4 high-speed uplinks (2 x 10GBase-T and 2 x 10G SFP+), enabling high throughput for bandwidth-intensive applications. Supporting advanced Layer 3 functionalities—including RIP v1/v2, RIPng, and OSPF routing protocols—the switch allows better routing segmentation and inter-VLAN routing, ensuring network performance optimization.
Designed for flexibility and manageability, the switch includes multiple remote management options such as SNMP, Telnet, and CLI. It also features robust access control and authentication via RADIUS and TACACS+. Featuring support for Jumbo Frames up to 12,288 bytes, this switch is well-suited for storage and large file transfers. With a MAC address table of up to 16,384 entries and a power-efficient design consuming just 30.4W max, it delivers excellent scalability with minimal energy impact.
Its 1U compact design makes it easy to integrate into existing infrastructures, while status LEDs, console access, and TAA compliance enhance usability and deployment in government and enterprise environments. The high MTBF of over 468,000 hours underscores its reliability in mission-critical operations.
