D-Link DGS-1250-52X 52-Port Smart Managed Switch

The DGS-1250-52X 48-Port Smart Managed Switch provides high-density Gigabit connectivity for growing business networks. It combines 48 copper Ethernet ports with four 10 Gigabit Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus uplinks. Therefore, organisations can connect many users and devices while maintaining high-speed links to servers, storage systems, or other switches. Advanced management and security features also support controlled network expansion.

Product Overview

The DGS-1250-52X includes 48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports for computers, printers, servers, access points, and other Ethernet equipment. In addition, four 10G SFP+ ports provide high-bandwidth uplinks through compatible transceivers.

Its 176 Gbps switching capacity supports traffic across busy networks. Moreover, Layer 2 features and Lite Layer 3 static routing give administrators greater control over traffic movement. The switch supports management through a web interface, full Command Line Interface, Simple Network Management Protocol, and a dedicated console port.

Key Features

• Provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, supporting high-density connections across expanding business networks.

• Includes four 10G SFP+ uplinks, reducing possible bottlenecks between switches, servers, and network segments.

• Delivers 176 Gbps switching capacity, allowing the switch to process substantial network traffic efficiently.

• Supports Access Control Lists, helping administrators define which users or devices can access network resources.

• Includes static routing, allowing communication between selected Virtual Local Area Network segments without a separate router.

• Supports Spanning Tree Protocol, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol to prevent network loops.

• Uses IEEE 802.3x flow control to help reduce packet loss when connected equipment experiences traffic congestion.

• Includes dual software images and configuration files, simplifying firmware changes and configuration recovery.

• Features 6kV surge protection on Gigabit Ethernet ports, helping protect the interfaces against electrical surges.

• Uses a five-speed smart fan that adjusts cooling according to operating requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the DGS-1250-52X provide Power over Ethernet?

The DGS-1250-52X has 48 standard Gigabit Ethernet ports without PoE output. Devices that require power need separate adapters or suitable PoE equipment.

What transceivers work with the four uplink ports?

The uplink ports accept compatible SFP+ transceivers for 10 Gigabit connections. The required transceiver depends on the cable type and transmission distance.

Can this switch route traffic between VLANs?

Lite Layer 3 static routing allows administrators to configure communication between selected IPv4 or IPv6 network segments.

How can administrators manage the switch?

The DGS-1250-52X 48-Port Smart Managed Switch supports a web interface, full CLI, SNMP-based management, and a dedicated console port.
