Overview
The D-Link
®
16-Port Gigabit Switch (DGS-1016D)
delivers power, performance, and reliability in
one cost-eective, space-saving design. Increase
the speed of your network server and backbone
connections, or make Gigabit to the desktop a
reality. Users in the oce, workgroup, or creative
production environment can now transfer large
bandwidth-intensive les faster. Transfer graphics,
CGI, CAD, or multimedia les across the network
without hesitation. The versatile and compact 1RU
height design of the DGS-1016D enables the device
to be rackmounted in a standard 19-inch rack while
conserving valuable rack space.
Power Packed
Featuring non-blocking switching architecture,
the DGS-1016D lters and forwards packets at
wire speed for maximum throughput. An 8K MAC
address table provides scalability for even the
largest networks. Address learning and aging,
802.3x flow control for full-duplex mode, and
back pressure ow control for half-duplex mode
alleviate trac congestion and ensure reliable data
transmission. Designed using industry standards,
the DGS-1016D is compatible with virtually all 10,
100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices.
The DGS-1016D protects your existing network
investments while providing you with a
straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit
speeds.
Easy to Install and Maintain
This switch was designed for Plug-and-Play and
hassle-free installation. Auto-MDI/MDI-X crossover
on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables
when connecting to another switch or hub.
Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed
of a network device (10, 100, or 1000Mbps) and
intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal
performance. It also features diagnostic LEDs that
display status and activity, allowing you to quickly
detect and correct problems on the network.
Every port also supports a cable diagnostic feature
that helps to detect cable-related problems.
802.1p Quality of Service
The DGS-1016D supports 802.1p Quality of Service
(QoS). When the switch receives a frame tagged
with 802.1p priority, it automatically places it into
one of four priority queues. Priority queuing is
especially benecial when streaming voice and
video on your network.
Think Green
D-Link Green™ technology implements
power-saving features to help make your network
environmentally friendly without compromising
performance. The DGS-1016D automatically powers
down ports that have no link and budgets power
output for dierent Ethernet cable lengths. It also
complies with the EU’s RoHS directive, restricting
the use of certain hazardous materials.
