D-Link DGS-1100-08 8-Port Gigabit EasySmart Switch, Internet Splitter, Desktop/Rackmount, Fanless, Green Energy Saving, VLAN, IGMP Snooping - UK Model

cons: can only be managed by ipv4, (static or dynamic) dlinks browser discovery app seemed to not work on linux [i read the instructions so not a big problem.pros: looks decent for vlans you turn off unused ports to save energy, lights indicate ethernet speed better than our existing idiot switch. Power brick is not massive in size and does not take up several slots.Works with ipv6 but with limited ipv4 addresses left i would only use for internal networks and not on public ip'sThe cable testing feature did not seem to work, and having stats like ethernet errors is worthwhile something a lot of routers do not offer. A nice tool to have if perhaps in need of ipv6 support for its http web interface.The http interface is not an issue and one i prefer being the warnings you get with bad tls certs on printers/routers et al these days tha t your average browser freaks out on.

This is an excellent switch for the price. The interface is slightly old-fashioned, and you need to remember to save your configuration changes to the non-volatile ram after you've made them (changes work as soon as you select them, but when you are happy with them, you also need to save to NVR, or you'll find that if the system goes off for any reason, it'll be back to the original settings when it comes back on). Once you know what's happening, this is quite a useful feature (it's easy to completely break your network if you configure VLANS incorrectly - or at least I find it easy): you just need to turn it off an on again to get back to the last-known-good configuration!It's silent, which is great if it's in your TV room (like mine is). I use it to power/network a couple of Zyxel wireless-AC hotspots, and it works great. You can see exactly how much power they are using.It's a very solid piece of kit, suitable for professional use.It was exactly what I was looking for, and I'm very pleased with it.

I would recommend this product to anyone wishing to expand their LAN wrt number of ports available. This switch could be easily used as part of an advanced home network or a small business network. It works out of the box so there is essentially no initial set-up required and it offers advanced features for improved performance and security that can be used if and when needed. I found the web interface easy to use and intuitive. My only complaint is that it does not support jumbo frames (though its smaller sibling in the same product series by D-Link does) which is a feature I would find potentially useful.

D-Link switches are staggeringly fast and I find them 100% reliable - this one is no exception.It is fantastic value and capable of driving any network - I even user cheapo D-Link switches for iSCSI SAN demos as they're potable and faster than any switch at the same price (much faster than some switches at 5x-10x the price in my experience).I actually run this switch off a USB cable (it is only 5V and draws so little power) - to save on the number of 'wall wart' chargers I have plugged-in - what other blisteringly-fast switch can you do that with?!

Super little switch the only switch I could find that was gigabit ran on 5 volts and has an snmp stack. The only issue is why is it so hard to find on Amazon

The only failing with this switch is that it does not support SNMP, so it won't appear in your management solution. I dropped a star for that, as you should expect to get SNMP on a managed switch. Other than that, it is a great product.

Received a revision B1 switch - which is 802.3at PoE capable (up to 30W). This has a fast WebUI, and also supports SNMP, RSTP, port mirroring, VLANs, and 9216 jumbo frames. For the price it is astounding, just a shame it doesn't include rack mount ears.

Top quality and robust. Slim and looks good.
