Layer 3 Lite
Including IP interfaces, IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND), ARP-Snooping Prevention, IGMP and MLD Snooping, LLDP and LLDP-MED. The DGS-1250 series also includes IPv4/IPv6 static routing capabilities for a scalable and more efficient network.

QoS
The series supports 802.11p Quality of Service to deliver data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic, and bandwidth Control to reduce unwanted network broadcast traffic. And the Auto-Voice and Auto-Surveillance VLAN features allow voice and video traffic to be automatically identified and prioritised.

The D-Link Safeguard Engine helps protect against malicious traffic flooding the network in the event of a malicious attack. The series supports IMP-Binding which is an easy method to control nodes during IP conflicts and auditing issues, and it prevents ‘ARP spoofing’ and 'man-in-the-middle' malicious attacks.

Network security is further reinforced with ARP Inspection, DHCP Snooping, and a host of security and authentication features such as 802.1X port-based authentication, port security for 64 MAC addresses per port. The series also includes network protection functionalities like Access Control List, and DHCP Server Screening that only allows legitimate DHCP Server IP addresses on specific ports.
