D-Link 10G Uplinks 28-Port L3 Managed Gigabit Switch

The D-Link DGS-1520-28 is a switch that delivers Layer 3 routing and 28 ports of high-speed connectivity to small and medium sized networks. Twenty-four Gigabit copper ports handle everyday workstation, server, and device traffic, while four 10G SFP+ uplinks connect to storage, core switches, or upstream routers without creating a bottleneck.

Growth is straightforward because up to eight DGS-1520 units can be stacked into a single logical switch, providing as much as 80 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. Administrators manage the entire stack through one IP address, which reduces configuration time and simplifies expansion.

Network segmentation and traffic control are handled through VLANs, Quality of Service queues, and static or dynamic routing. Security features such as access control lists and ARP Spoofing Prevention help stop unauthorized traffic before it reaches critical resources, and NDAA compliance supports organizations that follow strict procurement guidelines.

The switch supplies Power over Ethernet for devices like Wi-Fi 6 access points, IP cameras, or phones. A built-in budget of 370 watts suits most edge closets, and adding a DPS-700 power module doubles the available power to 740 watts for denser installations. D-Link Green technology automatically adjusts power draw when ports are idle, keeping operating costs in check.

Zero-Touch Provisioning makes remote rollouts as easy as shipping the switch to site and powering it on, while an intuitive web interface and optional D-View support provide clear, centralized management afterward. These capabilities make the DGS-1520-28 a practical choice for branch offices, retail floors, classrooms, and surveillance networks that need reliable performance without complex upkeep.
