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

Description

D-Link DGS-1210-28. Switch type: Managed. Switch layer: L2/L2+. Number of basic switching RJ-45 Ethernet ports: 24. Full duplex. MAC address table: 16,000 entries. Routing/switching capacity: 56 Gbps. Network standard: IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3x. Rack mountable, form factor: 1U.

The Web Smart Managed Gigabit Switch DGS-1210 supports numerous features normally found only in high-end switches. It ensures maximum control, service, and security, but without the complexity of an enterprise switch. Its very low administration effort makes it ideal for use in small and medium-sized businesses. Furthermore, the Smart Switch operates silently thanks to its fanless design, making it suitable for open office environments.

Extensive security features in the network
The DGS-1210-16 is equipped with advanced security settings. The D-Link SafeGuard Engine activates when large amounts of data are overloaded by viruses affecting individual network components. The Access Control List determines which users are permitted to use which services and files, and authenticates these users using the IEEE 802.1X standard. DHCP Server Screening*, for example, provides additional security. Based on the client's DHCP request and the server's corresponding response, the switch detects the IP address of the client and automatically assigns it to the MAC address associated with the port.

High functionality thanks to bandwidth control and QoS
The switch boasts sophisticated QoS features for automatic prioritization of digital data packets. For optimal voice quality in VoIP applications, Voice VLAN support ensures that voice traffic is automatically shifted to a VLAN with the highest priority. Bandwidth control also allows the network administrator to limit bandwidth for subordinate devices.
In addition, the DGS-1210 is equipped with useful Layer 2 features, including IGMP snooping, port mirroring, and the LACP trunking protocol. Rapid Spanning Tree and Loopback Detection instantly detect redundant loops and automatically block the duplicate connection. Cable diagnostics allow network administrators to quickly determine and resolve the status and potential malfunctions of the copper cables.

Network management made easy
The Smart Switch offers simple, cost-effective network management functions, especially for smaller businesses: 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 a straightforward initial setup. In addition to the web interface, the DGS-1210-16 supports management via TELNET Basic CLI, SNMP, and D-View 6.0, which provide 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 thus operating costs without sacrificing performance. This enables even small and medium-sized businesses to build an energy-efficient network infrastructure.
