Smart Management for Business Networks
The DGS-1210-20 provides comprehensive network management down to the port level. The intuitive web-based interface allows administrators to configure VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), bandwidth control, and advanced security settings with ease. The included D-Link Network Assistant utility discovers multiple D-Link switches on the same network segment, simplifying initial setup and firmware upgrades. For advanced users, full Compact CLI support via Telnet and SNMP management provide enterprise-level control.
Auto Surveillance VLAN for IP Cameras
The DGS-1210-20 features an innovative Surveillance Mode that automatically detects ONVIF-compatible IP cameras and places them in a dedicated surveillance VLAN. This eliminates the need for dedicated hardware for video surveillance networks, consolidating data and surveillance traffic through a single switch while maintaining real-time video quality. The dedicated surveillance Web UI makes managing your security network effortless.
VoIP Optimisation with Auto Voice VLAN
Deploy VoIP phones with confidence using Auto Voice VLAN technology. The switch automatically detects Voice over IP traffic and segments it into a separate VLAN with higher priority, ensuring crystal-clear call quality and enhanced security. DSCP QoS support enables different service levels for network traffic, guaranteeing performance for critical business applications.
Layer 2 Switching & Link Aggregation
Equipped with a complete lineup of Layer 2 features, the DGS-1210-20 supports IGMP snooping for efficient multicast traffic management, port mirroring for network diagnostics, and Spanning Tree Protocol for loop prevention and network redundancy. IEEE 802.3x Flow Control allows servers to connect directly to the switch for fast, reliable data transfers at 2000 Mbps full duplex per Gigabit port.
Network Security & Protection
Protect your network with advanced security features including 802.1X port-based authentication via external RADIUS servers, flexible Access Control Lists (ACLs) to screen traffic by MAC or IP address, and ARP Spoofing Prevention to block malicious ARP attacks. The proprietary D-Link Safeguard Engine protects the switch CPU from broadcast, multicast, and unicast flooding caused by virus attacks. DHCP Server Screening prevents rogue DHCP servers from unauthorised IP assignment.
Fibre Connectivity with SFP Ports
The last 4 ports on the DGS-1210-20 are Gigabit RJ-45/SFP combo ports, offering the flexibility to use either copper or fibre connections. Connect to upstream core switches or downstream servers via multimode or singlemode SFP transceivers (sold separately) for extended distances and higher reliability in mission-critical environments.
Energy Savings with D-Link Green 3.0
The DGS-1210-20 incorporates D-Link Green 3.0 technology, featuring IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet that automatically reduces power consumption during periods of low network traffic. Additional power-saving features include cable length detection (reducing power on shorter cables), link status detection (placing inactive ports in standby), LED shutoff, and system hibernation based on custom time profiles.
Fanless Design for Quiet Operation
Featuring a fanless design, the DGS-1210-20 operates silently, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments such as offices, classrooms, and retail spaces. The fanless design also extends the device's lifetime by eliminating moving parts. The compact desktop enclosure with included rubber feet allows for flexible placement, while the included rack-mounting brackets enable installation in standard 19-inch equipment racks.
Network Diagnostics & Maintenance
Built-in maintenance features include Loopback Detection, which automatically detects and disables ports causing network loops to prevent broadcast storms, and Cable Diagnostics, allowing administrators to remotely test cable integrity and identify issues such as opens, shorts, or incorrect wiring. These tools simplify troubleshooting and reduce network downtime.
