The DGS-1530 Series are part of the Layer 2 family of D-Link's Stackable Smart Switch product line that provides wired Gigabit speeds for Metro Ethernet and campus networks. They feature a variety of ports, including 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, 1G SFP ports, and 10G SFP+ ports for increased network bandwidth. Surge protection, advanced Layer 2 functions, and a suite of security and management tools make the DGS-1530 Series Stackable Smart Switch ideal for Metro Ethernet and campus applications.

Diverse Port Configuration and PoE Support

The DGS-1530-28P and DGS-1530-52P switches feature Power over Ethernet (PoE), delivering up to 30W per port for devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and access points, reducing deployment time and cabling costs. Both models support IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+ standards. They offer Perpetual PoE for continuous power during switch boot-up and Fast PoE for quick power delivery without waiting for the system to fully start. The DGS-1530-52P has a 370W PoE budget, expandable to 740W with a redundant power supply, and uses extended LLDP to optimise power distribution to connected devices.

Efficient and Resilient Networking

The DGS-1530 Series supports up to 6 kV surge protection on all Ethernet RJ-45 ports, protecting the switch from power surges due to lightning strikes or faulty electrical cabling. The DGS-1530 Series supports ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS), which allows 50 millisecond failover in the event of a failure of one of the rings, minimising service disruption. The switches also support IEEE 802.1AX and 802.3ad Link Aggregation, which allows grouping of multiple ports to provide redundancy and load balancing in mission-critical environments.

High Availability and Flexibility

The DGS-1530 Series allows multiple switches to be combined to form a single physical or virtual stack. This increases redundancy over multiple physical units, simplifies management, and provides a single IP address to manage all members in the stack. Up to 9 switches can be combined using DACs/Fibers to make up to 432 Gigabit Ethernet ports available, allowing switching capacity to be increased with demand.

Quality of Service

The DGS-1530 Series implements a rich set of multilayer QoS/CoS features to ensure that critical network services such as VoIP, video conferencing, IPTV, and IP surveillance are given high priority. Flexible packet classification can be based on various header fields to help administrators prioritise network traffic. Traffic shaping features guarantee bandwidth for these critical services when the network is busy. Multilayer QoS/CoS features let IT managers arrange network resources more efficiently in enterprise environments.

Identity-Driven Network Policies

The DGS-1530 Series supports authentication types such as 802.1X portbased Access Control, Web-based Access Control (WAC), and MAC-based Access Control (MAC) for strict access control to network resources. After authentication, individual policies such as VLAN membership, QoS policies, and ACL rules can be assigned to each host. Additionally, the switches support Microsoft® NAP (Network Access Protection), which allows network assets to be protected from compromised computers by enforcing compliance with network health policies.
