1 Product Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of D-Link SmartPro Switch Products.
D-Link's next generation SmartPro Ethernet 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 new
style rack-mount metal case with easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs, and provides advance features
including four 1000BASE-X SFP slots for fiber connection, network security, traffic segmentation, QoS and
versatile management.
Flexible Port Configurations. Four port densities are available for selection: 16, 24, and 48 Gigabit
Ethernet ports. Supporting auto-detection of MDI/MDIX, these switches bring inexpensive and easy Ethernet
connection to the desktops. DGS-1500 series provides 4 SFP slots, which supports 1000M fiber connections
with appropriate fiber transceivers. DGS-1500-28P provides 4 combo SFP slots, which supports both 1000M
and 100M fiber connections with appropriate fiber transceivers. The first 24 ports also support up to 15.4 or
30 watts PoE power for the connections of wireless access points, IP phones and other PoE-supported
devices, allowing them to be deployed at difficult places such as on high walls and ceilings, where AC power
outlets are not readily available.
D-Link Green Technology. D-Link Green devices are about providing eco-friendly alternatives without
compromising performance. D-Link Green Technology includes a number of innovations to reduce energy
consumption on DGS-1500 series such as reducing power when a port does not have a device attached, or
adjusting the power usage according to the Ethernet cable connected to it. For PoE model such as DGS1500-28P, D-Link Green Technology offers Time-based PoE feature to shut down per port power off working
hours.
Extensive Layer 2 Features. Implemented as complete L2 devices, these switches include functions such
as IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree, 802.3ad LACP, SNTP, LLDP and Loopback Detection to
enhance performance and network resiliency.
Extensive Layer 3 Features. Implemented as complete L3 devices, these switches include functions such
as IP interface, static route, IPv6 Static Route, ARP and single IP management to enhance performance and
network resiliency.
QoS. The switches supports bandwidth control and 802.1p priority queues, enabling users to run bandwidthsensitive applications such as streaming multimedia by prioritizing that traffic in network. These functions
allow switches to work seamlessly with VLAN and 802.1p traffic and IPv6 traffic class priority in the network.
Network Security. D-Link’s innovative Safeguard Engine function protects the switches against traffic
flooding caused by virus attacks. Additional features Storm Control can help to keep the network from being
overwhelmed by abnormal traffic. Port Security is another simple but useful authentication method to
maintain the network device integrity. Also supports DHCP Server Screening, SSL, SSH and Smart Binding
features.
Versatile Management. The new generation of D-Link Web Smart Switches provides growing businesses
with a simple and easy management of their network, using an intuitive SmartConsole utility or a Web-Based
management interface that allows administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The
SmartConsole easily allows customers to discover multiple D-Link web smart switches with the same L2
network segment connected to the user’s local PC. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP
address of the PC and provide easy initial settings of the smart switches. The switches within the same L2
network segment connected to the user’s local PC are displayed on the screen for instant access. It allows
extensive switch configuration settings, and basic configuration of discovered devices, such as a password
change or firmware upgrade.
Users can also access the switch via TELNET. Some basic tasks can be performed such as changing the
Switch IP address, resetting the settings to factory defaults, setting the administrator password, rebooting the
Switch, or upgrading the Switch firmware by using the Command Line Interface (CLI).

1 Product Introduction D-Link Web Smart Switch User Manual
In addition, users can utilize the SNMP MIB (Management Information Base) to poll the switches for
information about the status, or send out traps of abnormal events. SNMP support allows users to integrate
the switches with other third-party devices for management in an SNMP-enabled environment. D-Link Web
Smart Switches also come with the D-View plug-in module that works with D-View 6 SNMP Management
Software, and provides easy-to-use graphic interface and facilitates the operation efficiency.

Figure 2.3 – Mount the Switch in the rack or chassis
Please be aware of following safety Instructions when installing:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit, and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use
of power strips)."
Step 3 – Plugging in the AC Power Cord
Users may now connect the AC power cord into the rear of the switch and to an electrical outlet (preferably
one that is grounded and surge protected).

3 Getting Started D-Link Web Smart Switch User Manual
3 Getting Started
This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link SmartPro Switch.
Management Options
The D-Link SmartPro Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the Web-based
Management, or through any PC using the SmartConsole Utility or CLI commands.
Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with the Web-Based
Management or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same range as the
switch. Each switch can allow up to four users to access the Web-Based Management concurrently.
However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link SmartPro Switches, the SmartConsole Utility and Single IP
Management are more convenient choice. By using the SmartConsole Utility, you do not need to change the
IP address of your PC and it is easier to initialize multiple Smart Switches.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management and the SmartConsole
Utility.
Using Web-based Management
After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch, monitor the network status, and display

System > System Settings
The System Setting allows the user to configure the IP address and the basic system information of the
Switch.
IP Information: There are two ways for the switch to obtain an IP address: Static and DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol).
When using static mode, the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway can be manually configured. When
using DHCP mode, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to provide it with an IP address (including
network mask and default gateway) before using the default or previously entered settings. By default the IP
setting is static mode with IP address is 10.90.90.90 and subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
System Information: By entering a System Name and System Location, the device can more easily be
recognized through the SmartConsole Utility and from other Web-Smart devices on the LAN.
Login Timeout: The Login Timeout controls the idle time-out period for security purposes, and when there is
no action for a specific time span in the Web-based Management. If the current session times out (expires),
the user is required a re-login before using the Web-based Management again. Selective range is from 3 to
30 minutes, and the default setting is 5 minutes.
Group Interval: The D-Link Web Smart Switch will routinely send report packets to the SmartConsole Utility
in order to maintain the information integrity. The user can adjust the Group Interval to optimal frequency.
Selective range is from 120 to 1225 seconds, and 0 means disabling the reporting function.

connections can operate in Forced Mode settings (1000M Full, 100M Full, 100M Half, 10M Full, 10M Half),
Auto, or Disabled. The default setting for all ports is Auto.
NOTE: Be sure to adjust port speed settings
appropriately after changing the connected cable
media types.
MDI/MDIX:
A medium dependent interface (MDI) port is an Ethernet port connection typically used on the Network
Interface Card (NIC) or Integrated NIC port on a PC. Switches and hubs usually use Medium dependent
interface crossover (MDIX) interface. When connecting the Switch to end stations, user have to use
straight through Ethernet cables to make sure the Tx/Rx pairs match up properly. When connecting the
Switch to other networking devices, a crossover cable must be used.
This switch provides a configurable MDI/MDIX function for users. The switches can be set as an MDI port in
order to connect to other hubs or switches without an Ethernet crossover cable.
Auto MDI/MDIX is designed on the switch to detect if the connection is backwards, and automatically
chooses MDI or MDIX to properly match the connection. The default setting is “Auto” MDI/MDIX.
Flow Control: You can enable this function to mitigate the traffic congestion. Ports configured for full-duplex
use 802.3x flow control, half-duplex ports use backpressure flow control. The default setting is Disabled.
System > DHCP Auto Configuration
This page allows you to enable the DHCP Auto Configuration feature on the Switch. When enabled, the
Switch becomes a DHCP client and gets the configuration file from a TFTP server automatically on next boot
up. To accomplish this, the DHCP server must deliver the TFTP server IP address and configuration file
name information in the DHCP reply packet. The TFTP server must be up and running and store the
necessary configuration file in its base directory when the request is received from the Switch.
