D-Link Ethernet Switches are used for connecting LAN devices for conductivity. In our organization, we have each LAN having approximately 20 PCs attached.
If we want to use an E-switch traffic flow, we use the leaf-spine architecture with 9300 Nexus switches. On the other hand, if we need normal data for a campus network enterprise level, we use the 6500, 4000 or 6000 series. We use these switches for only the access layer.

We use an older model, but they've been good as they've lasted all of these years. We use them for general use. There is nothing specific about them. They're suitable for small to medium-sized businesses. From my experience, big corporations don't use them. The ones we currently use are unmanaged. We plan to migrate to managed switches in the near future. Security is the biggest thing I'm looking at.
I am a network administrator and D-Link Ethernet Switches make up part of the network that I manage. These switches connect the workstations to the servers and then through the firewall to the internet.
What is an Ethernet switch? An Ethernet switch connects devices like computers, laptops, servers, and printers to a local area network (LAN) and to each other. The switch then functions as a central connecting station.
You can boost the Ethernet’s capacity by wiring switches to each other. Unlike routers, Ethernet switches use multiple ports to enable devices in the LAN. Unmanaged switches are a type of plug-in switch that will work when connected, without the need to configure them...
These are switches for networking.
It's mainly for our internal network.
We use the solution for networking purposes.
We primarily use the solution for the distribution of the network.
I'm both using the solution and offing it to clients. We're using it as a hub. We use it in the main office area.
Our primary use case is networking within our company.

We are selling this solution to our clients. They use it for switches and WiFi.
We are using this solution to expand our network from different departments and we use fiber to make this connection.
We primarily use it for a switch, and it's often chosen due to its general affordability.

We use it to connect to some servers in our network. We also use a firewall from Sophos.
