Product Description:
The D-Link DGS-1224TP is a 24-port PoE Gigabit Web Smart Switch that provides basic management features including SNMPv1, spanning tree, and IGMP snooping.
D-Link’s latest generation of Web
Smart Gigabit Switches blend
plug-and-play simplicity with
exceptional performance and reliability
to create a cost-effective solution for
bandwidth-starved work groups and
departments. Enhanced features of the
DGS-1224TP include Gigabit uplink combo
ports, Power over Ethernet, QoS, and
versatile management functions. Power
over Ethernet easily allows you to
install and power wireless access
points, network cameras, VoIP phones and
other network equipment for simplified
and reduced deployment costs. Total PoE
power budget on 24 10/100/1000 ports for
the DGS-1224TP is 180 watts. Therefore,
the maximum power output per PoE port is
up to 15.4W on 11 ports or 7.5W on 24
ports simultaneously.
The DGS-1224TP is housed in a new style 19”
rackmount case with an easy-to-view front panel and
diagnostic LEDs. User-friendly, web-based management
is supported for easy configuration and flexibility
for different network requirements.
D-Link Green™ Technology
D-Link is striving to take the lead in
developing innovative and power-saving technology
without sacrificing operational performance or
functionality. The DGS-1224TP implements D-Link
Green technology, resulting in reduced power
consumption and heat dissipation. The switch has
adopted the latest silicon technology, which helps
lower your power consumption usage. If a port does
not have a cable link or the connected device is
powered down, the port goes to “sleep mode”,
reducing power consumption and saving energy.
Protecting the Environment for a Better
Tomorrow
The incorporation of D-Link Green technology into
DGS-1224TP switch re-emphasizes D-Link’s strong
commitment to protecting the environment and leading
the development of eco-friendly products. DGS-1224TP
complies with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous
Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment) directives. RoHS directives
restrict the use of specific hazardous materials
during the manufacture of electrical and electronic
goods, while WEEE directives apply standards for
proper disposal and recyclable packaging to help
reduce wastage.
Secure Your Network
The DGS-1224TP provides a robust set of security
features normally found only in fully managed
switching solutions. They are equipped with the
D-Link Safeguard Engine™ to protect the CPU from
malicious attacks. When frames enter the switch, the
D-Link Safeguard Engine detects and blocks
broadcast, multicast, and unicast flooding, which
can overload a CPU and bring network traffic to a
halt. In addition, the switches provide support for
secure encrypted 802.1X Port-based Authentication,
Broadcast Storm Control, and up to 256 static MAC
address entries.
You can also manage the switches from a remote
station using the Trusted Host function. Management
can be from up to three designated management
stations through a web browser or telnet session.
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Tagging
VLANs allow your network to be segmented into
Departmental, Hierarchical, and Security groups and
place a “tag” in a frame to identify which VLAN it
belongs to. This allows 802.1Q-compliant devices to
work seamlessly together to manage VLAN traffic
Asymmetric VLANs
Asymmetric VLANs are also supported by the
DGS-1224TP. With this feature enabled, VLAN groups
can send information to each other without the
traffic going through a router or a Layer 3 switch.
This eliminates expense and maximizes efficiency
while maintaining security.
802.1p Priority Tagging or DSCP-based QoS
The DGS-1224TP allows users to prioritize traffic
based on 802.1p or DSCP-based (Differentiated
Services Case Point) QoS. Port-based QoS prioritizes
all port traffic with one value, while 802.1p
classifies frames according to their VLAN tag. DSCP-based
QoS prioritizes traffic according to its IP header.
DSCP-based QoS and 802.1p priority tagging
prioritizes traffic such as VoIP as it enters the
switch, ensuring that your data is always clear and
jitter-free.
Link Aggregation
The DGS-1224TP supports Static Link Aggregation,
which “trunks” multiple ports together to function
as a single, high-bandwidth channel. When a
high-bandwidth channel is needed to uplink to
another switch, Link Aggregation makes this process
simple and hassle-free.
Jumbo Frame Support
Jumbo Frame support is designed to improve network
throughput and significantly reduce the CPU
utilization of large file transfers (such as
multimedia files or large data files). This is
accomplished by enabling larger, more efficient
payloads per packet. The DGS-1224TP supports Jumbo
Frames up to 10KB in size.
IGMP Snooping
IGMP Snooping allows for the forwarding of
multicast packets, such as streaming audio and
video, without increasing network congestion. By
snooping IGMP registration information within a
frame, a list of workstations in the multicast group
is created. The switch uses this list to
intelligently forward packets to the appropriate
workstations.
Cable Diagnostics
Because your connection is just as important as
the switch itself, the DGS-1224TP is designed with a
cable diagnostic feature that detects transmission
errors and the condition of cables attached to the
switch’s Gigabit copper ports. Cable Diagnostics
make it easier to troubleshoot cabling issues
through a web-based interface and keep all
connections up.
Advanced Management Features
The DGS-1224TP supports SNMP v1, a useful tool
in managing and controlling SNMP-supported network
devices. SNMP enables the switches to provide
valuable information about the switch’s status and
send traps on abnormal events. This sharing of vital
management information saves time and money.
The DGS-1224TP also supports 802.1D Spanning
Tree, which provides protection from universal
cabling loops forming within a network
infrastructure. Spanning tree detects and breaks
these loops, ensuring network uptime.
Web Management Utility
In addition to the Web-based Management Interface,
the DGS-1224TP also ships with the D-Link
SmartConsole Utility. This utility provides a
valuable tool in managing, planning, and
troubleshooting network configurations. Managing a
Web Smart switch takes only minutes. With full color
graphics, diagrams, and easy-to-understand
navigation menus, using the SmartConsole Utility is
as easy as surfing the web. The SmartConsole Utility
also includes:
- Discovery List – Automatically
detects and displays up to 254 D-Link Web Smart
Switches on your network along with their MAC
addresses.
- Monitor List - Monitors switch status and
any trap messages sent to a designated station.
- Trap View – Notifies the
administrator whenever an abnormal event occurs
on the switch.
- Device Setting – Allows the
administrator to set up the switch’s IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Gateway, Send Trap to Address,
System Name, Password, and Location.
With its green sensibility and easy-to-use,
robust feature set, the DGS-1224TP makes a great
solution for any growing business.
