Ideal for IP Surveillance Networks
The DGS-1210-28MP excels in surveillance deployments thanks to its 370W PoE budget and intelligent surveillance features. The Auto Surveillance VLAN automatically detects compatible ONVIF cameras and places them in a dedicated surveillance VLAN, ensuring quality real-time video monitoring without compromising conventional network data transmission. This eliminates the need for dedicated surveillance hardware and reduces installation and maintenance costs. With support for up to 24 PoE+ devices, you can power and connect a complete IP camera system, including PTZ cameras requiring higher power, from a single switch.
Advanced Traffic Management & QoS
Maximise network efficiency with bandwidth control, QoS (Quality of Service), and VLAN support. The DGS-1210-28MP supports 802.1p CoS and DSCP-based QoS, ensuring that time-sensitive traffic like VoIP calls and video streams receive priority over standard data. Static routing allows communication between different VLAN segments without requiring an external router, improving network performance and reducing bottlenecks. The switch supports up to 16,000 MAC address entries and delivers a 56 Gbps switching capacity with 41.7 Mpps forwarding rate for wire-speed performance.
Robust Network Security
Protect your network with enterprise-grade security features. The D-Link Safeguard Engine defends against broadcast, multicast, and unicast flooding attacks. 802.1X port-based authentication integrates with external RADIUS servers for network access control. ARP Spoofing Prevention blocks fake ARP messages to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks. Port Security supports up to 64 MAC addresses per port, while Access Control Lists (ACLs) filter traffic based on MAC/IP addresses, VLAN IDs, and protocol types. DHCP Server Screening prevents unauthorised DHCP servers from assigning IP addresses on your network.
Energy-Efficient & Reliable Design
The DGS-1210-28MP incorporates D-Link Green 3.0 technology to reduce power consumption without sacrificing performance. Features include IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), automatic cable length detection to adjust power output, LED shutoff, port standby mode, and system hibernation based on custom time profiles. The switch features a smart fan design that adjusts fan speed based on operating temperature, reducing noise and extending component life. The 1U rackmountable design with included rack ears makes it ideal for data centres, server rooms, and network closets.
Versatile Management Options
Manage the DGS-1210-28MP your way with multiple management interfaces. The intuitive multilingual web-based GUI simplifies configuration and monitoring. A compact command-line interface (CLI) accessed via Telnet provides advanced control for experienced administrators. The included D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) utility automatically discovers D-Link switches on your network for centralised management. SNMP v1/v2c/v3 support enables integration with third-party network management systems like D-View 7.0. For multi-site deployments, the optional Nuclias Connect platform offers cloud-based or on-premises centralised management for up to 1,500 D-Link devices.
Standards & Compliance
The DGS-1210-28MP meets NDAA/TAA sourcing standards, making it suitable for government and high-security enterprise projects. The switch supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack for seamless network migration and future-proofing. Cable diagnostics help troubleshoot connection issues, while Loopback Detection automatically disables ports when network loops are detected, preventing broadcast storms.
