D-Link 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch, Layer 2 Features, VLANs, Cable Diagnostics, Energy Saving Features, Rugged Metal Housing, Smart Web UI, Version 2 (DGS-1100-16V2), Black

Opens up a world of advanced interconnectivity at a decent price. The software is not updated often, but it is not neglected and received some minor patching for the v2.00 firmware. You should look at the datasheet and compare the models. I think this model in the updated A2 revision covers quite a lot, even things like link aggregation, powering off idle ports and all lights even, or logging to servers. Mainly I got this for its VLAN support, which is necessary to practice building clusters with Hyper-V and experiment with protocols for the edge or hybrid cloud scenarios, which is allows me to do. You shouldn't move devices around to different ports, or should try cold booting if it is not behaving as expected after rearranging settings/ports.

A little pricey, but works extremely well. I had two 8 gigabits prior, and they would sometimes interfere. This unit handles all 16 ports with no issues.

Ricco di funzioni consente di gestire reti anche complesse. Difficile da installare se non a rack, non ha attacchi diversi dalle staffe da rack. Un po' caro per numero di porte ed altre caratteristiche.

This D-link managed switch has been in operation for three months without any issues. I like the quality of this device. It's well made. It's made out of metal, not some cheap plastic. It has many useful features you would find in more expensive truly managed switches. Having said that, I hope it survives the Florida heat next summer in the attic since it uses passive cooling. My favorite feature is the VLAN wizard. All the options are on one page unlike my TP-link 8-port switch where you have to go to a second page to setup PVID. The only minor issue is maneuvering D-link's cumbersome website when it comes to upgrading the firmware. In my humble opinion... it's poorly organized. It's so confusing because there are so many files and models that seem to overlap. Otherwise, this is a solid switch working, without issues, thus far with my HP (repurposed) workstation running pfSense as my powerful router/firewall.
