Key Features
-
28 Gigabit Ports: 24 × 10/100/1000BASE-T ports plus 4 × combo Gigabit RJ45/SFP ports for flexible copper or fibre uplinks
-
Advanced Layer 2+ Features: IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Link Aggregation (LACP), and static routing for enhanced network efficiency
-
Surveillance Mode: Automatically detects ONVIF-compatible IP cameras and segments them into a dedicated surveillance VLAN for optimised video traffic
-
Energy-Efficient Fanless Design: Silent operation with D-Link Green 3.0 technology and IEEE 802.3az compliance for reduced power consumption
-
Comprehensive Security: 802.1X authentication, Access Control Lists (ACL), ARP Spoofing Prevention, DHCP Server Screening, and D-Link Safeguard Engine protection
-
Flexible Management: Web-based GUI, SmartConsole utility, CLI via Telnet, SNMP, and optional Nuclias Connect cloud management
Perfect for Business Networks
The DGS-1210-28 is ideal for SMB network expansion, IP surveillance systems, VoIP deployments, and office networking. Its Auto Voice VLAN and Surveillance Mode automatically prioritise voice and video traffic, ensuring high-quality real-time communications without affecting standard data traffic. The switch supports a 16,000-entry MAC address table and jumbo frames up to 10,000 bytes for efficient large file transfers.
Advanced Traffic Management
Equipped with QoS (Quality of Service), bandwidth control, and VLAN support, the DGS-1210-28 maximises network performance and minimises congestion. Static routing enables inter-VLAN communication without requiring an external router, while loopback detection and cable diagnostics simplify network troubleshooting and maintenance.
Fibre Connectivity Options
The 4 combo SFP ports support optional Gigabit SFP transceivers for multimode or singlemode fibre connections, enabling long-distance uplinks to servers, core switches, or remote locations. This flexibility makes the DGS-1210-28 suitable for diverse network topologies and future expansion.
Energy Savings with D-Link Green 3.0
D-Link Green 3.0 technology conserves power without sacrificing performance through Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az), cable length detection, port shutdown scheduling, LED shutoff, and system hibernation mode based on custom time profiles. The fanless design ensures whisper-quiet operation and extended device lifespan.
Lifetime Warranty & NDAA Compliance
Backed by D-Link's Lifetime Warranty (after registration) and meeting NDAA/TAA sourcing standards, the DGS-1210-28 is suitable for government, education, and high-security enterprise projects. With over 35 years of networking expertise, D-Link delivers reliable, cost-effective solutions for growing businesses.
