1 Product Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on the purchase of your new D-Link Smart Managed Switch.
D-Link's next generation Smart Managed switch series blends plug-and-play simplicity with exceptional
value and reliability for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking. All models are housed in a
robust metal case with easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs.
Flexible Port Configurations. The DGS-1100 series is the new generation of Smart Managed Switches,
featuring 5 to 8 10/100/1000 Mbps.
D-Link Green Technology. The DGS-1100 Series features D-Link Green Technology which helps
conserve power without sacrificing operational performance. Using IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet
(EEE), the DGS-1100 Series saves power by automatically putting inactive ports into a sleep mode.
Extensive Layer 2 Features. Designed as comprehensive L2 devices, these switches support a variety of
functions such as FDB, VLAN, Spanning Tree, and Loopback Detection to enhance performance and
network resilience.
Traffic Segmentation and QoS.The switches support 802.1Q VLAN standard tagging to enhance network
security and performance. The switches also support 802.1p priority queues, enabling users to run
bandwidth-sensitive applications such as streaming multimedia by prioritizing that traffic in network. The
Surveillance VLAN will place the video traffic from pre-defined IP surveillance devices to an assigned VLAN
with higher priority, so it can be separated from normal data traffic.
Network Security. Storm Control can help to keep the network from being overwhelmed by abnormal
traffic. Meanwhile, Port Security provides administrators with an additional layer of security to prevent
unauthorized users from accessing the network.
Versatile Management. The DGS-1100-05/05PD/08/08PD feature an intuitive, web-based management
interface that allows administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The D-Link
Network Assistant (DNA) easily allows administrators to discover multiple D-Link Smart Managed Switches
within the same L2 network segment and display them on-screen for instant access. With this utility, users
do not need to change the IP address of their PC. This allows for simultaneous configuration and basic
setup of all discovered devices, including password changes and firmware upgrades.

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact the local reseller for replacement.
Step 2: Switch Installation
For safe switch installation and operation, it is recommended to you:
Visually inspect the power cord to see that it is secured fully to the AC power connector.
Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the switch.
Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
Desktop or Shelf Installation
The DGS-1100 series switches come with a strip of four adhesive rubber pads that can be placed on the
bottom of the device to prevent the device from damaging the desktop or shelf it is places on. To attach the
rubber pads, simply remove them from the adhesive strip and stick one pad on each corner on the bottom
panel of the Switch.
Figure 2.1 – Attach the adhesive rubber pads to the bottom
Wall-mount
The Switch can be mounted on a wall. Two mounting slots are provided on the bottom of the switch for this
purpose.
Please refer to the instructions below on how to complete the wall-mounting process.
Mounting on a cement wall
Step 1: Drill two holes that align with the keyholes on the back of the Switch in the wall where you want to
mount the device, and place the two indluded nylon screw anchors into the drilled holes.
Step 2: Drive the included screws into the nylon screw anchors.
Step 3: Hook the mounting keyholes on the back of the Switch onto the screws to secure the device to
the wall.
Mounting on a wood wall
Step 1: Drive the included screws into a wood wall.

3 Getting Started
This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link Smart Managed Switch.
Management Options
The D-Link Smart Managed Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the web-based
management interface, or the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA).
Each switch must be assigned its own IP address, which is used for communication with the web-based
management interface or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same range
as the Switch. Each Switch allows up to four users to access the web-based management interface
concurrently.
However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link Smart Managed Switches, the D-Link Network Assistant
(DNA) is a more convenient choice. By using the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA), you do not need to
change the IP address of your PC, making it easier to simultaneously initialize multiple D-Link Managed
Switches.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web interface and the D-Link Network Assistant
(DNA).
Using the Web-based Management Interface
After successfully installing the Switch, you can configure and monitor the Switch through the web-based
management tool using any compatible web browser such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox,
Opera, or Safari.
Connecting to the Switch
The access the web interface you will need the following equipment:
1. A PC with a RJ45 Ethernet port.
2. A standard Ethernet cable
Connect on end of the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the Switch and connect the
other end of Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the PC.
Figure 3.1 – Connected Ethernet cable
Accessing the Web-based Management Interface
In order to access the management interface, the PC must have an IP address in the same subnet as the
Switch. For example, if the Switch has an IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have an IP address of
10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~ 254), and a subnet mask of
255.0.0.0. To launch the web interface, simply open any compatible web browser and enter 10.90.90.90 (the
factory-default IP address) in the address bar. Then press <Enter>.

Figure 3.2 –Enter the IP address 10.90.90.90 in the web browser
NOTE: The Switch’s factory default IP address is
10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and
a default gateway of 0.0.0.0.
This will automatically load the web configuration in your web browser.
When prompted to log in, enter the default password admin and press ok to continue.

D-Link Network Assistant (DNA)
D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) is a program that is used to discover switches which are in the same Layer
2 network segment as your PC. You can download the DNA App from the Chrome web store and install it in
a Chrome web browser.
1. Go to the Chrome web store at: https://chrome.google.com/webstore, and search the store for
Network Assistant.
Figure 3.4 – D-LINK Network Assistant
2. Click ‘ADD TO CHROME’ button on the right hand side of the search results.
3. Click ‘Add app’ button in the pop-up window to install the D-Link Network Assistant in Chrome.
4. When the installation process has finished:
(Option 1) Click the ‘LAUNCH APP’ button in the upper-right corner of the window to start DNA.
(Option 2) Click the ‘Apps’ icon in the upper-left corner of the Chrome browser and click the DNA icon
to start the app.

System > System Information Settings > IPv4 Interface
The IPv4 Interface allows the user to configure the IP address and the basic system information of the
Switch.

The fields that can be configured for IP Settings are described below:
Item Description
IP Settings
There are two ways for the Switch to obtain an IP address:
Static and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
When using static mode, the IP Address, Mask, Gateway and
DHCP Retry Time can be manually configured. When using
DHCP mode, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to
provide it with an IP address (including network mask and
default gateway) before using the default or previously entered
settings.
IP Address
Specify the IPv4 address. By default, the IP address is
10.90.90.90
Mask Specify the subnet mask of IP address. By default, the subnet
mask is 255.0.0.0
Gateway Specify the gateway of IP address. By default, the gateway is
0.0.0.0
DHCP Retry Time (5-
120)
Specify the
number of attempts to assign an IP address
through a DHCP server. Selective range is from 5to 120 times,
and the default setting is 7times.
