D-Link 8-Port Gigabit PoE Smart Managed Switch

Power your devices, manage your network, and secure your infrastructure — all from one compact switch. The D-Link 8-Port Gigabit PoE smart managed switch brings enterprise-grade Layer 2+ features, 65W PoE+ power delivery, and dedicated SFP uplink ports to small and medium businesses that need intelligent network control without the enterprise price tag.

Product Details

The D-Link 8-Port Gigabit PoE Smart Managed Switch is a 10-port Gigabit smart managed switch featuring eight PoE+ ports and two Gigabit SFP uplink ports. All eight PoE ports support IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, delivering up to 30W per port and a total PoE power budget of 65W. The two SFP ports provide flexible high-speed uplinks via fibre or copper. Surveillance Mode automatically detects ONVIF-compliant cameras and isolates them in a dedicated VLAN — no manual configuration needed. The PD Alive feature detects and power-cycles unresponsive PoE devices automatically. Management is available via web GUI, CLI, SNMP, or the free D-Link Nuclias Connect platform — giving administrators full network visibility from anywhere.

D-Link 8-Port Gigabit PoE Smart Managed Switch: Why It Stands Out

D-Link 8-Port Gigabit PoE Smart Managed Switch Powers and Manages in One Unit

Most small businesses run separate switches for PoE devices and separate hardware for network management. This switch eliminates that redundancy entirely. Eight PoE+ ports power IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones directly over Ethernet — no separate power adapters required. The web-based management interface gives administrators complete control over every port, VLAN, QoS policy, and security rule from one dashboard — saving hardware costs and rack space simultaneously.

D-Link 8-Port Gigabit PoE Smart Managed Switch Simplifies IP Surveillance

Surveillance Mode is a standout feature for businesses running IP camera systems. The switch automatically detects ONVIF-compliant cameras and places them in a dedicated surveillance VLAN — separating video traffic from regular data without manual configuration. QoS ensures video streams are always prioritised. The PD Alive watchdog then monitors each PoE camera and power-cycles any that stop responding — maintaining live coverage without human intervention around the clock.

D-Link 8-Port Gigabit PoE Smart Managed Switch Delivers Enterprise-Grade Security

This switch includes Access Control Lists, 802.1X port-based authentication via RADIUS, ARP Spoofing Prevention, DHCP Server Screening, and the D-Link Safeguard Engine — which actively blocks traffic flooding from virus attacks. These features work together to stop unauthorised access, prevent data interception, and keep malicious traffic off your network. All security policies are configured through a straightforward web interface that requires no advanced CLI expertise.

Who Uses This Switch

Small and Medium Businesses — IT administrators in growing SMEs use this switch to power and manage wireless access points, VoIP phones, and networked equipment across office floors — with full traffic control from one web interface.

Security and Surveillance Installers — CCTV professionals deploying ONVIF camera systems rely on Surveillance Mode for automatic VLAN placement and PD Alive for continuous uptime without manual monitoring or reboots.

Schools and Educational Institutions — IT teams use VLAN segmentation to separate student, staff, and administrative traffic — and deploy Time-Based PoE scheduling to automatically cut power to devices outside school hours.

Hospitality and Property Management — Hotels and managed properties use this switch to power IP intercoms, access control readers, lobby access points, and guest network equipment from one centrally managed unit.
