1 Product Introduction

Thank you and congratulations on the purchase of your new D-Link Smart Managed Switch. D-Link's next generation Smart Managed switch series blends plug-and-play simplicity with exceptional

value and reliability for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking. All models are housed in a robust metal case with easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs.

Flexible Port Configurations. The DGS-1100 series is the new generation of Smart Managed Switches, featuring 5 to 8 10/100/1000 Mbps.

D-Link Green Technology. The DGS-1100 Series features D-Link Green Technology which helps conserve power without sacrificing operational performance. Using IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), the DGS-1100 Series saves power by automatically putting inactive ports into a sleep mode.

Extensive Layer 2 Features. Designed as comprehensive L2 devices, these switches support a variety of functions such as FDB, VLAN, Spanning Tree, and Loopback Detection to enhance performance and network resilience.

Traffic Segmentation and QoS. The switches support 802.1Q VLAN standard tagging to enhance network security and performance. The switches also support 802.1p priority queues, enabling users to run bandwidth-sensitive applications such as streaming multimedia by prioritizing that traffic in network. The Surveillance VLAN will place the video traffic from pre-defined IP surveillance devices to an assigned VLAN with higher priority, so it can be separated from normal data traffic.

Network Security. Storm Control can help to keep the network from being overwhelmed by abnormal traffic. Meanwhile, Port Security provides administrators with an additional layer of security to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the network.

Versatile Management. The DGS-1100-05V2/05PDV2/08V2/08PV2 feature an intuitive, web-based management interface that allows administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) easily allows administrators to discover multiple D-Link Smart Managed Switches within the same L2 network segment and display them on-screen for instant access. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address of their PC. This allows for simultaneous configuration and basic setup of all discovered devices, including password changes and firmware upgrades.

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact the local reseller for replacement.

Step 2: Switch Installation

For safe switch installation and operation, it is recommended to you:

Visually inspect the power cord to see that it is secured fully to the AC power connector. Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the switch. Do not place heavy objects on the switch.

Desktop or Shelf Installation

The DGS-1100 series switches come with a strip of four adhesive rubber pads that can be placed on the bottom of the device to prevent the device from damaging the desktop or shelf it is places on. To attach the rubber pads, simply remove them from the adhesive strip and stick one pad on each corner on the bottom panel of the Switch.

Figure 2.1 – Attach the adhesive rubber pads to the bottom

Wall-mount

The Switch can be mounted on a wall. Two mounting slots are provided on the bottom of the switch for this purpose.

Please refer to the instructions below on how to complete the wall-mounting process.

 Mounting on a cement wall Step 1: Drill two holes that align with the keyholes on the back of the Switch in the wall where you want to mount the device, and place the two indluded nylon screw anchors into the drilled holes. Step 2: Drive the included screws into the nylon screw anchors. Step 3: Hook the mounting keyholes on the back of the Switch onto the screws to secure the device to the wall.  Mounting on a wood wall Step 1: Drive the included screws into a wood wall.

3 Getting Started D-Link Smart Managed Switch User Manual

3 Getting Started

This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link Smart Managed Switch.

Management Options

The D-Link Smart Managed Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the web-based management interface, or the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA).

Each switch must be assigned its own IP address, which is used for communication with the web-based management interface or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same range as the Switch. Each Switch allows up to four users to access the web-based management interface concurrently.

However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link Smart Managed Switches, the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) is a more convenient choice. By using the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA), you do not need to change the IP address of your PC, making it easier to simultaneously initialize multiple D-Link Managed Switches.

Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web interface and the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA).

Using the Web-based Management Interface

After successfully installing the Switch, you can configure and monitor the Switch through the web-based management tool using any compatible web browser such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or Safari.

Connecting to the Switch

The access the web interface you will need the following equipment:

1. A PC with a RJ45 Ethernet port.

2. A standard Ethernet cable

Connect on end of the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the Switch and connect the other end of Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the PC.

Figure 3.1 – Connected Ethernet cable

Accessing the Web-based Management Interface

In order to access the management interface, the PC must have an IP address in the same subnet as the Switch. For example, if the Switch has an IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have an IP address of

10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~ 254), and a subnet mask of

255.0.0.0. To launch the web interface, simply open any compatible web browser and enter 10.90.90.90 (the

factory-default IP address) in the address bar. Then press <Enter>.

3 Getting Started D-Link Smart Managed Switch User Manual

Figure 3.2 –Enter the IP address 10.90.90.90 in the web browser

NOTE: The Switch’s factory default IP address is

10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0.

This will automatically load the web configuration in your web browser. When prompted to log in, enter the default password admin and press ok to continue.
