High-Performance 10 Gigabit Connectivity
The DXS-1210-28T delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth across all 24 copper ports, ensuring low latency and high throughput for mission-critical applications. The additional four SFP28 ports support speeds up to 25 Gbps, making this switch ideal for core network deployment in SMBs or as an aggregation switch in larger enterprise environments. With support for both Cat 6 twisted pair and fiber connections, network administrators can flexibly design upstream and downstream server connections.
Advanced Network Management
Equipped with comprehensive Layer 2 features including port mirroring, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), the DXS-1210-28T simplifies network management. Layer 3 Lite capabilities such as IP interfaces, ARP, IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, default routing, and static routing enable inter-VLAN routing, reducing the load on routers and improving overall network efficiency. Management is accessible via an intuitive multi-language web GUI, industry-standard CLI through Telnet, console port, or D-View 7 network management system.
Enhanced Security & QoS
The DXS-1210-28T incorporates D-Link's Safeguard Engine to protect against traffic flooding caused by virus attacks and malicious threats. Additional security features include ARP spoofing prevention, 802.1X port-based and host-based authentication via external RADIUS servers, Access Control Lists (ACL) for permission-based network access, and DHCP server screening to prevent unauthorised IP assignments. Quality of Service (QoS) controls including bandwidth management and DSCP markings ensure that critical traffic reaches its destination with priority.
Auto Surveillance & VoIP Optimisation
The switch supports Auto Surveillance VLAN (ASV) and Auto Voice VLAN features, which automatically detect and prioritise surveillance video and VoIP traffic. This eliminates the need for dedicated network infrastructure and guarantees smooth, uninterrupted video monitoring and crystal-clear voice calls, even during peak network hours. These features make the DXS-1210-28T ideal for security installations, office environments, and educational institutions.
Green Technology & Energy Efficiency
By incorporating D-Link Green technology, the DXS-1210-28T reduces power consumption without sacrificing performance. Features include smart fans with internal heat sensors that adjust fan speeds based on temperature, link status detection that automatically puts inactive ports into sleep mode, and an advanced energy-efficient chipset. This results in lower operating costs and a reduced environmental footprint.
Flexible Installation Options
With a compact 1U rack-mountable design measuring 1.7 inches (44 mm) high × 17.4 inches (441 mm) wide × 8.2 inches deep, the DXS-1210-28T fits seamlessly into server racks and network cabinets. The switch can also be deployed on a desktop, offering flexible installation options for various network environments.
