D-Link SmartPro DGS-1510-28XMP - Switch - L3 - Administrerad

Very flexible in features, fact it has 10Gbe at this price point is amazing, size wise, again, its very good for size for a shelf or to be sat on a desk. Personally, I found it a perfect to fix on my Ikea Kallax shelves. My only complaint is the noise, the fan in this thing is LOUD.. but this can be replaced for something like a Noctua fan, which costs £10 from Amazon, which makes it silent. In addition, whilst its a very configurable switch and easy to get up and running, the UI looks exactly the same as D-Link switches that I used over 12 years ago.. That is why I rate this a 2 - Its a capable switch, but the noise and UI are terrible when compared to similar priced switches from other manufacturers, such as UBNT and even TP-Link, make these D-Link switches positively look and feel like antiques.

Working great, especially on fibre, seems quiet enough and runs cool.

I haven't started using it serious actually but there was no issue when I was trying to do some configuration of it. Given the condition (like new) and the price I am quite happy about it. The only cons is the fan is a little bit loud, and you probably don't want to put it on your desk. I replaced it with Noctua fan and it has been silent since then.

I've used cheap Netgear 1G switches for a few years but eventully needed to speed up my network plus I wanted 2x10G ports for my Qnap 1079Pro. Worked like a charm!!! Huge performance improvement. My home network is now nice and fast for anything I need to do including streaming movies/pictures from the Qnap, browsing internet, copying files between computers. I'm very glad I pulled the trigger on this upgrade.

So far so good, mostly. SPF+ compatibility is a problem. Ports 25+26 will accept a wider range of SFP+ than port 27+28 (the stack ports). Which is, frankly, weird. I can add F5 OPT-0016-00 10GBase-SR to the compatibility list, and highlight that Intel FTLX8571D3BCV-IT 10GBase-SR SFP+ does not function correctly unless it's in port 25+26. D-Link advertise their own SFPs are the only validated solution, but a single SFP+ will set you back as much as a switch... Fan noise is a little loud, but a quieter 40mm replacement should be easy enough, assuming your environment is suitably cool Other than that, I'm just going a bit of dot1q and that was configured without major drama.
