SmartPro Switch
D-Link’s DGS-1500 Series SmartPro switches are
designed for SMBs which need functions such as
L3 Static Routing and Single IP Management (Virtual
Stacking) without upgrading to a managed switch.
This series integrates advanced management and
security functions that are similar to those of a
managed switch, but less complex. The switches
feature D-Link Green
enable significant power savings. Additionally, the
DGS-1500-28P
1
’s 10/100/1000 Mbps ports are PoEenabled, offering ease-of-use and green features
like Time-based PoE, which enables the power
to the port to be shut off at a predetermined time.
Compliant with 802.3af and 802.3at, these switches
are capable of feeding power to devices of up to
30 Watts. Management options include SNMP, Web
Management, SmartConsole Utility, and Compact
CLI. The series also supports ACL filtering and
D-Link’s Safeguard Engine. The DGS-1500-20 and
DGS-1500-28 both feature a fanless design. The
fanless design allows them to emit less heat and
noise than a standard switch, making them suitable
for office environments. The DGS-1500-28P
DGS-1500-52 both feature smart fans. Using a thermal
sensor that can detect temperature change, the
smart fans can react accordingly by utilizing different
fan speeds for different temperatures.
D-Link Green Technology
D-Link is striving to take the lead in developing
innovative and power-saving technology that
does not sacrifice operational performance or
functionality.The DGS-1500 Series implements D-Link
Green Technology, which includes a power saving
mode, smart fan, reduced heat dissipation, and
cable length detection. The power-saving features
include being able to schedule when to turn off
LEDs and ports when not in use, and when to make
the switch enter hibernation mode. The switches
can also detect the length of connected cables to
automatically adjust power usage by saving energy
on shorter cable connections of up to 20 meters.
The switches can also support power-saving by link
status, which drastically reduces power consumption
by automatically toggling ports without a link to sleep

mode. The DGS-1500-28P
feature built-in smart fans. Using a thermal sensor
that can detect temperature change, the fans can
react accordingly by utilizing different fan speeds
for different temperatures. The Smart Fan feature
enables the built-in fans to automatically turn on at
a certain temperature, providing continuous, reliable
and eco-friendly operation of the switch.
Advanced Features
The DGS-1500 Series features advanced features
such as Virtual Stacking and Layer 3 features like
Static Routing. Virtual Stacking reduces the number
of IP addresses needed on a network by configuring
up to 32 devices to appear as a single unit with one
IP address. This simplifies network management
for small workgroups and allows for switches to be
added without special cabling.
Extensive Layer 2 Features
These switches are equipped with a complete lineup
of Layer 2 features including IGMP Snooping, Port
Mirroring, Spanning Tree, and Link Layer Discovery
Protocol (LLDP). The IEEE 802.3x Flow Control function
allows servers to directly connect to the switch for
fast, reliable data transfer. At 2000 Mbps Full Duplex,
the Gigabit ports provide high-speed data pipes to
servers with minimum data transfer loss. Network
maintenance features include Loopback Detection
and Cable Diagnostics. Loopback Detection is used to
detect loops created by a specific port or VLAN and
automatically shut down the affected port or VLAN.
The Cable Diagnostics feature, designed primarily for
adminstrators and customer service representatives,
can quickly discover the type of error on cables and
determine the cable quality.
QoS, Bandwidth Control
The DGS-1500 Series supports Auto Surveillance
VLAN (ASV) and Auto Voice VLAN, which are best
suited for VoIP and video surveillance deployments.
Auto Surveillance VLAN is a new, industry-leading
technology built into D-Link Smart Switches. This
technology consolidates data and surveillance video
transmission through a single SmartPro switch,
thus sparing businesses the expense of maintaining

dedicated hardware and facilities. ASV also ensures
the quality of real-time video for monitoring and
control without compromising the transmission of
conventional network data. The Auto Voice VLAN
technology enhances VoIP service by automatically
placing voice traffic from an IP phone to an assigned
VLAN. With higher priority and an individual VLAN,
these features guarantee the quality and security
of VoIP traffic. Furthermore, the DSCP markings on
Ethernet packets enable different levels of service
to be assigned to network traffic. As a result, these
voice and video packets take precedence over other
packets. In addition, with Bandwidth Control, network
administrators can reserve bandwidth for important
functions that require more bandwidth or might
require high priority.
Secure your Network
D-Link’s innovative Safeguard Engine protects the
switches against traffic flooding caused by virus
attacks. The switches also support 802.1X portbased authentication, allowing the network to be
authenticated through external RADIUS servers.
In addition, the Access Control List (ACL) feature
enhances network security and helps to protect
the internal IT network by screening traffic based
on MAC or IP addresses. The DGS-1500 Series
includes ARP Spoofing Prevention, which protects
from attacks on the Ethernet network that may allow
an intruder to sniff data frames, modify traffic, or
bring traffic to a halt altogether by sending fake ARP
messages to the network. To prevent ARP Spoofing
attacks, the switch uses Packet Control ACLs to block
invalid packets that contain fake ARP messages. For
added security, the DHCP Server Screening feature
screens rogue DHCP server packets from user ports
to prevent unauthorized IP assignment.
Versatile Management
The DGS-1500 series provides a SmartConsole utility
and a web-based management interface that enables
administrators to remotely control their network
down to the port level. The SmartConsole easily
allows customers to discover multiple D-Link Web
Smart Switches within the same L2 network segment.
With this utility, users do not need to change the IP
address of their PC. It also simplifies the initial setup
of the Smart Switches. Switches within the same L2
network segment that are connected to the user’s
PC are displayed on screen for instant access. This
allows extensive switch configuration and basic
setup of discovered devices including password
changes and firmware upgrades. The DGS-1500
Series also supports D-View 6.0 and Compact
Command Line Interface (CLI) through Telnet. D-View
6.0 is a Network Management System that allows
for the central management of critical network
characteristics such as availability, reliability,
resilience, and security. CLI management of the
switches is possible via Telnet. This makes it possible
to adjust basic settings, passwords, configuration
files, and firmware with ease.
