D-Link Launches Next-Gen DMS-1250 Series Smart Switches: Power, Speed & Control for Evolving Networks

Posted by HSSL Technologies on Jul 13th 2025

D-Link Corporation, a global name in secure and intelligent networking, has officially introduced the DMS-1250 Series—a new lineup of 2.5G Layer 2 Smart Switches engineered for today's demanding enterprise, SMB, and smart campus environments.

The series includes 8 models: 4 standard copper switches and 4 PoE variants, all featuring blazing-fast 2.5G downlink ports, 10G SFP+ uplinks, and advanced Layer 2 features. With seamless support for IEEE 802.3af/at/bt PoE and centralized management via Nuclias Connect, the DMS-1250 switches offer flexible and reliable networking at scale.


⚙️ Series Overview: Models & Flexibility

➤ Copper Models:

  • DMS-1250-10S

  • DMS-1250-12

  • DMS-1250-18

  • DMS-1250-28

➤ PoE Models:

  • DMS-1250-10SP

  • DMS-1250-12TP

  • DMS-1250-18P

  • DMS-1250-28P

With port options from 10 to 28 ports, each model supports 2.5G Ethernet speeds and 10G SFP+ uplinks, offering scalable bandwidth for edge deployments or high-density infrastructures. All PoE-enabled models deliver up to 60 W per port, making them ideal for powering Wi-Fi 6/6E APs, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and more—without needing separate power sources.


? Advanced Layer 2 Intelligence with Built-in Security

The DMS-1250 Series isn't just fast—it's smart and secure:

  • 802.3ad LACP: Aggregated links for increased bandwidth and redundancy

  • Static Routing: Fine-grained control over Layer 3 traffic paths

  • Loopback Detection: Prevents network loops and broadcast storms

  • AAA Support: RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication for tighter access control

  • Safeguard Engine: Monitors and protects against malicious or faulty traffic in real-time

These features empower IT admins to design efficient, secure networks tailored to dynamic enterprise needs.


? Nuclias Connect: Centralized Cloud-Edge Management

DMS-1250 switches are fully compatible with Nuclias Connect, D-Link’s on-premise or private cloud-based controller. Admins can deploy, monitor, and manage entire switch infrastructures from a single interface—greatly simplifying operations in multi-site businesses or large campuses.


? Built to Last – Taiwan-Engineered Quality

Proudly manufactured in Taiwan, the DMS-1250 Series embodies D-Link’s commitment to MIT (Made in Taiwan) excellence. Each switch is tested under strict industrial-grade standards for durability, reliability, and performance in critical environments.

With 6kV surge protection across all 2.5G ports, these switches are ready to withstand the real-world challenges of smart cities, education campuses, modern offices, and high-speed industrial networks.


? The D-Link Commitment: Innovation Meets Responsibility

The DMS-1250 Series represents more than just hardware—it's part of D-Link's broader mission:
“One Connection • Infinite Possibilities.”

From sustainable designs to solution-oriented innovation, D-Link continues to deliver future-proof infrastructure that adapts to your evolving needs while staying rooted in environmental and technical responsibility.


? Final Thoughts

Whether you're building out a next-gen wireless infrastructure, enhancing network backbone speeds, or upgrading a campus for the IoT era, the D-Link DMS-1250 Series is a versatile, scalable, and secure switching solution.
