Abstract

Stackable L2/L3 managed switches provide scalability and flexibility in a compact form factor. 10GbE uplink ports provide high-bandwidth connections for server or stacking connections. While high-performance is mandatory for such devices, acquisition cost is an important consideration as well.

D-Link Systems commissioned Tolly to evaluate its DGS-1510-28X switch (24GbE and four 10GbE ports) and compare that to a Cisco Systems SG500X, an HPE OfficeConnect 1950 and a NETGEAR S3300. All switches offer 24 ports of Gigabit Ethernet and four ports of 10GbE. Performance tests were conducted at both layer 2 and layer 3 and included ATIS power consumption measurements and TEER analysis.

The D-Link Systems switch matched the L2 throughput of the other switches. In addition, the D-Link has a significantly lower purchase price and consumes much less power than the other switches evaluated.
