Perfect for Business Networks
The DGS-1210-28 is ideal for businesses needing reliable, high-speed connectivity for workstations, servers, IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. The Auto Surveillance VLAN feature streamlines IP camera deployments by automatically detecting and configuring ONVIF devices, while Auto Voice VLAN prioritizes VoIP traffic for crystal-clear call quality. With 56 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity and 41.7 Mpps forwarding rate, this switch handles demanding network traffic with ease.
Flexible Connectivity Options
The four SFP combo ports provide versatile uplink options, supporting both copper Gigabit connections and fiber optic SFP transceivers for longer distance connections or high-speed links to core switches. The switch supports jumbo frames up to 10,000 bytes for improved throughput in storage and backup applications.
Energy Saving Technology
Equipped with D-Link Green 3.0 technology, the DGS-1210-28 intelligently reduces power consumption based on link status, cable length detection, port activity, and time-based scheduling. The fanless design ensures completely silent operation while extending the switch's lifespan, making it perfect for office environments where noise is a concern.
Network Security & Quality of Service
Comprehensive security features include 802.1X port-based authentication with RADIUS server support, IP-MAC-Port Binding with up to 512 entries, and ARP spoofing prevention to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks. The D-Link Safeguard Engine protects against traffic flooding from virus attacks. Advanced QoS with 802.1p priority queuing ensures time-sensitive traffic like voice and video receives priority treatment.
Easy Network Management
Multiple management options make the DGS-1210-28 simple to deploy and maintain. The intuitive web-based GUI is available in 11 languages, while the SmartConsole utility allows easy discovery and management of multiple D-Link switches on your network. For advanced users, full CLI access via Telnet provides granular control. The switch also supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3 for integration with network management systems.
Diagnostic & Maintenance Tools
Built-in cable diagnostics help identify cable faults and quality issues, while loopback detection automatically identifies and shuts down ports creating network loops. Port mirroring allows traffic analysis for troubleshooting, and RMON support provides detailed statistics for network monitoring.
