Power Your Devices with 370W PoE+ Budget
With 24 PoE+ enabled Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting IEEE 802.3at (30W per port), the DBS-2000-28MP delivers a total 370W PoE power budget to simplify deployments of IP surveillance cameras, wireless access points, smart lighting, access control systems, and VoIP phones. Power your devices using single Ethernet cables without relying on nearby power outlets, making installations faster and more cost-effective. Through the management interface, administrators can remotely reboot PoE devices, monitor real-time power consumption, and even set time-based PoE schedules to turn port power on and off automatically.
Advanced Layer 2 Features and Security
Despite its ease of use, the DBS-2000-28MP is equipped with a complete lineup of enterprise-grade Layer 2 features including VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/RSTP), Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), IGMP snooping, Voice VLAN, and port mirroring. Robust security features include Access Control Lists (ACLs), port security, Static MAC, DHCP server screening, and end-to-end WPA/WPA2/WPA3 encryption. All management data between the switch and cloud is secured with SSL encrypted out-of-band connection, keeping your sensitive traffic safe and separate from regular data.
Connectivity and Performance
The DBS-2000-28MP offers a total of 28 Gigabit ports: 24 PoE+ capable 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 4 combo Gigabit Ethernet/SFP ports that support both copper RJ45 and fiber SFP transceivers for flexible high-speed uplinks. With a 56 Gbps switching capacity, this switch handles demanding network traffic with ease, supporting everything from simple network expansions to complex IP surveillance systems.
Easy Troubleshooting and Maintenance
The DBS-2000-28MP includes helpful diagnostic tools to keep your network running smoothly. Cable Diagnostics enables quick examination of cable quality, cable type recognition, and detection of cable errors. Per-Port Traffic Packet Counters help isolate network problems. Loopback Detection automatically identifies and shuts down ports creating network loops, preventing broadcast storms.
