Power Your Network with PoE+
The DGS-1210-28P simplifies network deployments by delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. With 24 PoE+ ports supporting IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, you can power devices up to 30W per port. The generous 193W total power budget ensures you have enough capacity for IP cameras in surveillance systems, wireless access points for expanding Wi-Fi coverage, VoIP phones for unified communications, and other PoE-enabled devices. The first four ports support full 802.3at (30W), while ports 5-24 support 802.3af (15.4W), giving you flexibility in power allocation across your network.
Advanced Layer 2+ Management
Built for professional network environments, the DGS-1210-28P offers advanced Layer 2 switching features with Layer 3 Lite capabilities. Create network segments with VLAN support, prioritise critical traffic with Quality of Service (QoS), and improve network resilience with Spanning Tree Protocol (STP and RSTP). The switch supports static routing for inter-VLAN communication, IGMP snooping for efficient multicast traffic handling, and Link Aggregation (LACP) for increased bandwidth and redundancy. Manage the switch via the intuitive web-based GUI, compact CLI through Telnet, SNMP, or D-Link's Network Assistant Utility for easy discovery and configuration of multiple switches.
Surveillance Mode for Security Systems
The DGS-1210-28P features an innovative Surveillance Mode with a dedicated web interface designed specifically for IP camera deployments. This mode automatically detects ONVIF-compatible cameras and places them in a dedicated surveillance VLAN, ensuring quality real-time video without compromising regular network traffic. Auto Voice VLAN similarly identifies and segments VoIP traffic for enhanced call quality and security. The switch also supports PD-Alive monitoring, which automatically detects and resets PoE devices that stop responding, ensuring your surveillance system stays online 24/7.
Robust Security Features
Protect your network with comprehensive security features including 802.1X port-based authentication with RADIUS server support, Access Control Lists (ACLs) for granular traffic filtering, port security supporting up to 64 MAC addresses per port, and ARP spoofing prevention. D-Link's Safeguard Engine protects the switch CPU from broadcast, multicast, and unicast flooding attacks. Additional security features include DHCP server screening, IP-MAC-Port binding, and storm control to prevent network disruptions.
Energy Efficiency with D-Link Green 3.0
Save on operational costs with D-Link Green 3.0 technology, which intelligently manages power consumption without sacrificing performance. The switch automatically reduces power usage during low network traffic periods, detects cable length and adjusts power accordingly, and features time-based PoE scheduling to turn off PoE power to connected devices during off-hours. The smart fan design adjusts fan speed based on temperature, reducing noise and energy consumption. These features combine to deliver significant energy savings while maintaining reliable network operation.
Flexible Connectivity Options
With 24 × 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit PoE ports and 4 × Gigabit RJ45/SFP combo ports, the DGS-1210-28P provides versatile connectivity for your network. The combo ports allow you to choose between copper (RJ45) or fibre (SFP) connections for uplinks to core switches or long-distance connections. The switch supports multimode and single-mode SFP transceivers for distances up to several kilometres. With a 56 Gbps switching capacity and support for 16,000 MAC addresses, the switch delivers high-performance networking for demanding business environments.
Easy Network Management
The DGS-1210-28P offers multiple management interfaces to suit your preferences. The multilingual web-based GUI (available in 10 languages including English) provides an intuitive interface for configuration and monitoring. Advanced users can access the compact Command Line Interface (CLI) via Telnet for scripted management. The switch supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3 for integration with network management systems like D-Link's D-View 7.0. The D-Link Network Assistant utility automatically discovers all D-Link switches on your network and allows simultaneous firmware upgrades and configuration changes across multiple devices. Optional integration with Nuclias Connect provides cloud-based or on-premises network management.
Rackmount Design
The DGS-1210-28P features a compact 1U rackmount design (440mm × 250mm × 44mm) that fits standard 19-inch racks, making it ideal for server rooms, network closets, and equipment cabinets. Comprehensive diagnostic LEDs provide at-a-glance status information for power, link/activity/speed per port, SFP activity, fan status, and PoE maximum load. A button allows you to switch the LED display between PoE status and link/activity modes for easy monitoring.
