The D-Link DGS-1210 series of intelligent managed switches represent the latest generation of switches to provide increased Power over Ethernet (PoE) output, a range of physical interface types, multiple management interfaces and advanced Layer 2 functionality. With all these features combined, the DGS-1210 series provides a flexible and cost-effective solution for expanding any enterprise network.

The DGS-1210 series includes a wide range of port types and media, including RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, 100/1000 Mbps combo ports and SFP 100/1000 Mbps ports. The DGS-1210-10, DGS-1210-26, DGS-1210-10P and DGS-1210-10MP models are equipped with 2 x 100/1000 Mbps SFP ports, while all other models in the DGS-1210 series have 4 x 100/1000 Mbps combo ports, allowing you to choose the type of media that best suits your needs. All DGS-1210 series PoE switches include support for IEEE 802.3af/at and higher power budgets, allowing multiple PoE devices to be powered through the switch and devices to be installed in remote locations without immediate access to power outlets.

Advanced features: The DGS-1210 series comes with a full range of L2 functionality, including IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The IEEE 802.3x Flow Control function allows servers to connect directly to the switch for fast and reliable data transfers. The DGS-1210 series also supports advanced features such as increasing static routes, which allow network administrators to divide the network into efficient VLANs. Network maintenance features include loopback detection and cable diagnostics. Loopback detection greatly accelerates troubleshooting by automatically detecting and interrupting switching circuits. The cable diagnostics feature, designed primarily for administrators and customer service representatives, determines cable quality and quickly detects errors, enabling trouble-free diagnostics and maintenance.

Automatic configuration: The DGS-1210 Series supports automatic voice VLAN and surveillance mode, which allow voice and video traffic to be automatically identified and managed differently from normal network traffic. Automatic Voice VLAN detects Voice over IP (VoIP) and automatically segments it from the rest of the network, increasing security and enabling Quality of Service (QoS) enforcement.  Surveillance mode detects ONVIF-compliant cameras and places them in a surveillance VLAN, allowing a single switch to be used for voice, video and data, eliminating the need for dedicated hardware and reducing maintenance costs. Surveillance Mode also includes its own web user interface, enabling easily accessible surveillance features that simplify network surveillance management.

Protect your network: D-Link's innovative Safeguard Engine protects switches from being flooded by malicious attacks. The DGS-1210 series supports 802.1X port-based authentication, which enables network authentication via external RADIUS servers. The Access Control List (ACL) function. improves network security and helps protect the internal IT network. The DGS-1210 series also features ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) spoofing. prevention, which provides protection from network attacks that could allow an intruder to sniff data frames, modify traffic, or block it altogether by sending false ARP messages. To prevent ARP spoofing attacks, the switch uses packet checking ACLs to block invalid packets that contain false ARP messages. For added security, the DHCP server's screening feature filters DHCP replies to unauthorised ports to prevent them from being assigned an IP Address file.

Versatile management: The DGS-1210 series comes with the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) utility. which allows administrators to control their network down to the port level.  In addition, the D-Link Network Assistant utility allows customers to easily discover multiple D-Link Smart Managed switches within the same L2 network segment and display them on the screen for instant access. With this utility, users do not have to change the IP address of their PC. This allows for simultaneous configuration and basic setup of all detected devices, including password changes and firmware updates. The DGS-1210 series also supports D-View 7.0 and Command Line Interface (CLI) via Telnet.  D-View 7.0 is a network management system that enables centralised management of critical network characteristics such as availability, reliability, resilience and security.
