D-Link DGS-1210-28 28-Port Layer2 Smart Managed Gigabit Switch

The Web Smart Managed Gigabit Switch DGS-1210 supports numerous features typically found only in high-end switches. It ensures maximum control, service, and security without the complexity of an enterprise switch. Its minimal administrative overhead makes it ideal for use in small and medium-sized businesses. Furthermore, its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for open-plan office environments.

Extensive network security features
The DGS-1210-16 is equipped with advanced security settings. For example, the D-Link SafeGuard Engine activates if a virus infection of individual network components causes large amounts of data to overload the switch“s CPU. The Access Control List defines which users are authorized to access which services and files and authenticates these users using the IEEE 802.1X standard. Additional security is provided by features such as DHCP Server Screening* – the switch uses the client“s DHCP request and the server“s response to identify the server“s IP address and automatically assigns it to the corresponding MAC address for the port.

High functionality thanks to bandwidth control and QoS
The switch impresses with sophisticated QoS functions for automatically prioritizing digital data packets. Voice VLAN support ensures optimal voice quality in VoIP applications by automatically routing voice traffic to the highest-priority VLAN. Bandwidth control also allows the network administrator to limit bandwidth for subordinate devices.
Furthermore, the DGS-1210 is equipped with useful Layer 2 functions, including IGMP snooping, port mirroring, and the LACP trunking protocol. Rapid Spanning Tree and Loopback Detection immediately identify redundant loops and automatically block the duplicate connection. Cable diagnostics allow network administrators to quickly determine and resolve the status and any malfunctions of the copper cabling.

Network management made easy
The Smart Switch offers smaller businesses cost-effective and simple network management functions: The SmartConsole Utility automatically detects additional D-Link Smart Switches within the same Layer 2 segment. Basic configurations such as password changes and firmware upgrades are simplified and consolidated through an intuitive start setup. In addition to the web interface, the DGS-1210-16 supports management via TELNET Basic CLI, SNMP, and D-View 6.0, enabling integrated monitoring and management of all critical network components.

The Green Switch
The DGS-1210 is equipped with the latest D-Link Green technology, which significantly reduces power consumption and therefore operating costs without compromising performance. This makes it possible for small and medium-sized businesses to build an energy-efficient network infrastructure.
