DWS-1008 Overview
The D-Link AirPremier® MobileLAN™ DWS-1008 is a wireless LAN switch optimized for deployment in the Small-Medium Enterprise (SME) environment. The DWS-1008 is designed to allow easy user installation and operation yet support advanced wireless switch features such as secure mobility, policy enforcement, and AAA and 802.1x offload capabilities. The D-Link MobileLAN solution is powered by Trapeze Networks and executes Trapeze Networks’ Mobility System Software (MSS), which maintains the intelligence of the MobileLAN system. In addition to managing users’ identities as they roam, the DWS-1008 configures and controls all aspects of the complementing DWL-8220APs.
The MobileLAN DWS-1008 supports Administration, Authorization, and Authentication (AAA) policies to ensure maximum security. Rather than checking the identity of a connecting user from the switch’s local database, user authentication policies can be sent back to an AAA server for complete verification. This offloading capability ensures that the WLAN will not overload when clients are simultaneously connecting to the network.
This wireless switch delivers Identity-based Networking, which provides user-based services such as virtual private group membership, personal firewall filters, time-of-day/day-of-week access, encryption type, authentication, usage tracking, location tracking, and associated network statistics. Authorizations stay with users wherever they roam because all deployed DWS-1008s share stored information, ensuring secure access and connectivity to the right services.
The DWS-1008 includes eight 10/100Mbps ports with integrated PoE to enable network connectivity to any connected DWL-8220AP. It is designed for distributed deployments in the wiring closet or small or medium offices. It can support up to six directly connected DWL-8220APs and up to six more DWL-8220APs connected indirectly (Mobile Access Points, MAP).
The DWS-1008 performs Layer 2 forwarding and also comes with extensive Layer 3-4 and identity-tracking capabilities. It integrates seamlessly with wired infrastructures and offers redundant load-sharing links, 802.1Q trunking, Spanning Tree and per-VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+). It also supports IGMP Snooping, which is vital to supporting IP multicast streams.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the D-Link DWS-1008 handle Power over Ethernet requirements for wireless access points? +
The DWS-1008 is engineered to provide integrated PoE support, allowing it to supply both data connectivity and electrical power over a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies your deployment by eliminating the need for local power outlets near your ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted wireless access points, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient network installation.
Can the D-Link DWS-1008 be used for small business network environments? +
Absolutely. This 8-port switch is specifically designed for small-to-medium business environments that require reliable wired connectivity to support wireless infrastructure. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for branch offices, small retail spaces, or professional suites that need robust performance without the complexity and footprint of a large enterprise chassis switch.
What is the primary benefit of using an 8-port PoE switch like the DWS-1008? +
The primary advantage is the consolidation of hardware resources. By providing eight distinct ports with PoE capabilities, the DWS-1008 allows you to manage multiple wireless access points or IP devices from a single centralized point. This creates a scalable and organized network architecture that is significantly easier to monitor and troubleshoot compared to using multiple independent power injectors.
Is the D-Link DWS-1008 compatible with non-PoE network devices? +
Yes, the DWS-1008 maintains backward compatibility with standard Ethernet devices. While it is designed to deliver power to PoE-enabled peripherals, it will automatically detect non-PoE devices and provide data connectivity without sending power. This flexibility allows you to mix and match your equipment, connecting laptops, printers, or servers alongside your PoE-powered wireless access points.
How does the DWS-1008 improve wireless deployment efficiency? +
This switch streamlines wireless rollouts by centralizing power distribution. By utilizing the PoE-enabled ports, you gain the freedom to place wireless access points in optimal coverage areas, such as high ceilings or hallways, where traditional electrical wiring is absent. This reduces labor costs and deployment time while ensuring your wireless signals are perfectly positioned for maximum coverage.
Does the D-Link DWS-1008 require complex management software? +
The DWS-1008 is designed for straightforward operation, focusing on reliability and ease of use in diverse network environments. It operates efficiently without needing heavy-duty management overhead, making it an excellent choice for teams that require a 'plug-and-play' solution that delivers consistent performance without the intensive configuration often associated with fully managed enterprise-grade hardware.
How reliable is the DWS-1008 for continuous network operation? +
D-Link has built the DWS-1008 with industrial-grade standards, ensuring it can handle the constant traffic demands of a typical business day. Its robust internal components provide steady, stable PoE delivery and high-speed data switching, minimizing the risk of downtime for your critical wireless network infrastructure and ensuring your team stays connected throughout the workday.
What kind of network traffic can the DWS-1008 handle? +
The switch is highly capable of managing standard business data traffic, including high-definition video streaming, voice-over-IP communications, and general web-based applications. Its architecture is optimized for the intermittent bursts of data typical of wireless access points, ensuring that each connected device receives the bandwidth necessary for smooth operation without interference or significant latency issues.
