D-Link Ethernet Switches Reviews

If we want to use an E-switch traffic flow, we use the leaf-spine architecture with 9300 Nexus switches. On the other hand, if we need normal data for a campus network enterprise level, we use the 6500, 4000 or 6000 series. We use these switches for only the access layer.

This solution is not good for distribution at the core.

We have been using this solution for 25 years. We use layer three and two architecture. It includes all kinds of solutions. We also use the leaf-spine architecture, where we use the Nexus. It is deployed on-premises.

The scalability is not good and could be better.

The technical support could be faster.

The initial setup was very easy and user-friendly. Because we use it for only the access layer, it takes about 30 to 40 minutes to deploy.

The pricing is good. Most enterprise customers prefer Cisco or Juniper switches because they have better scalability and reliability. But most customers use D-Link Ethernet Switches because it is cheaper. The licensing cost is also very low.

I rate this solution a three out of ten. I would recommend this solution to a company with a small budget, but if they have extra funds, there are better solutions like Cisco, Juniper or Aruba.

We are using this solution to expand our network from different departments and we use fiber to make this connection.

The solution is easy to use.

In a future release, the solution could improve by being more secure and allowing the configuration of each port.

I have been using D-Link Ethernet Switches for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable and I have not had an issue since using it.

D-Link Ethernet Switches is scalable.

We have approximately 400 users using this solution in my organization.

The installation is simple, it takes approximately 10 minutes. All you need to do is install the equipment, connect the power, and network cable. It is mostly plug and play, you do not need to configure it. 

I did the implementation myself. We have a team of eight that does the maintenance.

There is not a license required for this solution and it is priced well.

I have evaluated Cisco Switches.

I rate D-Link Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.

On-premises

We Plan to switch from D-Link Ethernet Switch to Cisco products. While we have so far been satisfied with the former and consider it to be more cost-effective, we do have issues with its stability.

We have been using D-Link Ethernet Switch for upwards of 10 years.

The solution is scalable. 

We have not opened any support tickets involving the solution, as we have not made use of technical support. 

We have been using the solution for upwards of 10 years and so far so good. However, the majority of our switches are 100 Mbps, so we're looking to upgrade to one gigabit.

While the solution is budget-friendly and reliable, someone who can afford it should go with a different brand.

When comparing D-Link Ethernet switches with those of Cisco, the port switch is the way to go.

I rate D-Link Ethernet Switch as a nine out of ten.

We are selling this solution to our clients. They use it for switches and WiFi. 

The product just works and it is fairly cost-effective. They have good stability and they're also good on the pocket. On the switches, for the application that we deploy them for, we find they're okay. For the simple networks, they just work fine.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The solution doesn't really have any weak points. 

They need to have some more high-end switches. It would be great to have a few different options. If they can introduce a line that is almost equivalent to the Cisco 9300 or thereabouts. I'm talking about that type of class.

We've used the solution for a very long time. We've dealt with it since the beginning of our company.

The solution is stable and the performance is quite good. For all the deployments that we've done, we've not had any issues in terms of performance. They work well. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

We have more than ten clients using the solution. 

Most of the time, we are able to support our clients just fine on our own. It's only occasionally when we need to get down to firmware from their website and in most cases, we're able to get help as we need it.

We've also used Cisco in the past. We've used both products for quite a while. 

We've used some HP switches, however, we haven't used them very much. We've only dealt with a few. 

The initial setup is very straightforward and simple. We didn't find the process to be overly complex or difficult. 

Usually, the deployment doesn't take very long. It's a quick implementation.

We've done deployments in the past for our clients. 

The price of the product is quite reasonable. 

Most of the solutions we have do not have any licensing requirements. You just buy the product.

We are resellers. 

I normally recommend the solution to any user who wants a good switch which is not very expensive. Like Cisco, I always recommend it.

I'd rate the product at an eight out of ten.

We use it to connect to some servers in our network. We also use a firewall from Sophos.

Its integration is the most valuable.

It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud.

I have been using this solution for the last one year.

It is not stable.

We have around 100 users of this solution.

We try to resolve issues by ourselves.

We used a switch from Nortel.

We don't install it ourselves.

The supplier did the installation.

I would not recommend this solution. We might not keep on using it in the future. I would rate D-Link Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten.

On-premises

Surveillance VLAN feature is very useful for deployment of video surveillance equipment without disturbing the regular network traffic.Port-Based VLANs are supported and you can setup VLANs by assigning ports to certain users on your network.Remote administration is simple using web-based interface and SmartConsole utility.You can prioritize traffic for critical applications like VOIP using the QoS feature.Network troubleshooting features like Cable Diagnostics and Loop-back detection are quite helpful for IT pros.

By default DHCP is disabled

D-Link DGS-1100 is very useful gigabit Ethernet switch for small and medium sized businesses which can transfer data at high speeds and offers a lot of useful features.

D-Link Ethernet switches are quite classy and easy to use. These switches can be utilized for both small and large networks, irrespective of complexity. No matter, how secure you want your network to be, D-Link managed switches are quite capable of fulfilling your requirement. These switches can be managed both through the web and through CLI as well. D-Link has switches in a variety of speed ranges. There are 10/100 mbps switches for simple and small networks. For larger and secure networks D-Link provides Gigabit switches with an OFC combo port. These switches vary from 8 ports to 48 ports. Programming of these switches through CLI is not so complicated. Simple and comprehensive commands will do what is needed. Switches are robust and from time to time, firmware upgrades are also available on the net.

It will be very difficult to find any flaw in D-Link Ethernet Switches. Though few, L2 switches are bit costly to afford. The only significant issue which could trouble you while programming these switches is, its binding of ports along IP and MAC. There is no direct CLI command available for these. You have to use 802.1x radius protocol and disable the address learning capability of the ports. Although, this is not a very serious issue. Many of the network savvy people can handle this.

D-Link Ethernet Switches are state of the art networking devices that can solve critical networking related issues like VLAN segregation, enhancing security through ACL, configuring trunk ports, RIP, etc. D-Link L2 switches have easy to upload upgraded firmware through web interface.

The D-Link Ethernet switch is available with 8 ports, 16 ports, 24 ports, 48 ports, and more... Therefore, you can choose the correct number of port switches that you want to connect to a computer. This is not a waste of money. D-Link Ethernet switches are now introduced with green technology, which saves a lot of electricity. It consumes power only when network ports are used, otherwise it will run under a power saving mode. One big advantage of the D-link Ethernet switch is that it comes with different LED signals for troubleshooting. For example, green and orange signals, which help a technician resolve problems in a timely manner. It’s very simple to plug and play and they are high quality performance switches.

The cost is a little bit higher than other switches. The D-link Ethernet switch does not come with software management (Only UN-managed (L2) Switch).

It is a very nice product. i am highly recommended to you buy this product for network development.
