The D-Link DGS-1100-05V2/E is a five-port gigabit managed L2 switch from the Smart Managed series. It gives a small network per-port settings that a basic unmanaged switch lacks, and according to the manufacturer it can be mounted in a rack.

  • Ports: 5 × RJ-45, 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
  • PoE: no
  • Management: managed, L2
  • Mounting: rack mountable
  • Weight: 0.53 kg

Description

Management even in a small network

Five ports are enough for a small office, a checkout point or a home lab, while L2 management lets you configure ports through a management interface and split the network into segments. Guest or smart home traffic, for example, can be kept apart from work computers. All ports run at up to 1000 Mbit/s.

Who this network switch is for

Small businesses with only a few devices but a network that needs to be organised and segmented; IT technicians who need a small managed switch for a branch office or a client site; and home lab builders who want to practise L2 configuration without a large device. The small housing fits even in a cramped network cabinet.

Questions & answers

Does the switch support PoE?

No, according to the manufacturer this model has no PoE. Connected devices need their own power source.

Are rack mounting brackets included?

The manufacturer states that the switch is rack mountable but does not specify whether mounting hardware is in the box.

How is it different from an unmanaged switch?

The ports of a managed L2 switch can be configured and the network split into segments. An unmanaged model forwards traffic with no settings at all.
