-
D-Link Green 3.0 Technology: Energy-efficient design with IEEE 802.3az compliance, cable length detection, and port standby modes
-
Comprehensive Security: Access Control Lists (ACLs), 802.1X authentication, ARP Spoofing Prevention, and D-Link Safeguard Engine protection
Advanced Management and Security
The DGS-1210-28P offers multiple management interfaces including a multilingual web-based GUI, Command Line Interface (CLI) via Telnet, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, and the D-Link Network Assistant Utility. Network administrators can easily monitor and configure the switch remotely, perform firmware upgrades, and manage PoE power allocation from anywhere on the network. Advanced security features include port security supporting up to 64 MAC addresses per port, broadcast/multicast/unicast storm control, and Smart Binding with IP-MAC-Port binding for up to 512 entries.
Ideal Applications
The DGS-1210-28P is perfect for businesses deploying IP surveillance systems, wireless networks, VoIP telephony, and smart building automation. The Auto Surveillance VLAN feature consolidates data and video transmission through a single switch, eliminating the need for dedicated hardware and reducing installation costs. For VoIP deployments, Auto Voice VLAN automatically segments voice traffic to a dedicated VLAN with higher priority, ensuring call quality and security.

-
Port Mirroring: One-to-One and Many-to-One with support for Tx/Rx/Both traffic monitoring
-
VLAN Support: Port-based, 802.1Q tag-based, and voice/surveillance VLANs
Energy Efficiency
Featuring D-Link Green 3.0 technology, the DGS-1210-28P conserves power based on link status, cable length detection, LED shutoff, port standby mode, and system hibernation. The switch complies with the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard, automatically decreasing power usage when traffic is low with no configuration required. Time-based PoE scheduling allows administrators to turn off PoE power during off-hours, significantly reducing energy costs without sacrificing performance.
