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 port-
based 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.
