The DGS-1100 switches support Surveillance VLAN for IP surveillance deployments. This gives video traffic a dedicated VLAN and higher priority through the switch, separating surveillance traffic from the rest of the network. This also ensures security, and guarantees the quality of the video traffic, sparing businesses the added cost of dedicated surveillance networking hardware. Bandwidth Control can reserve bandwidth on a per port basis for important functions that require larger bandwidth or might have high priority.

PoE Support
The DGS-1100-05PD supports Power over Ethernet, simplifying deployments with IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points (APs), and other standards-compliant powered devices.

PoE Pass-through
The DGS-1100-05PD is a unique 5-port switch which must be powered by an upstream 802.3af or 802.3at compliant PoE switch/injector through its port 5. The switch also has the ability to propagate PoE power further downstream to PDs connected to its ports 1 and 2. The amount of power available to PDs is dependent on the PoE source (802.3af or 802.3at) and the PD’s PoE Classification.
