DGS-1210-52P WebSmart Switch with 48 10/100/1000 Mbps Ports (24 PoE Ports) and 4 SFP Ports

D-Link’s DGS-1210 Series Web Smart Switches are the latest generation of switches featuring D-Link Green Technology. The DGS-1210 Series integrates advanced management as well as security functions that provide performance and scalability. Management options for the switch include SNMP, Web Management, D-Link Network Assistant Utility, and compact command lines. The DGS-1210 Series uses Auto Voice VLAN, ensuring bandwidth is prioritized for a smoother voice performance. The DGS-1210-10/10P/20/28 features a fanless design that allows for quieter operation and helps to extend the device’s lifetime, while the DGS-1210-28P/52/52P/52MP feature a smart fan design that powers on after the switch reaches a certain temperature, saving energy and cutting costs without sacrificing performance.

Incorporating D-Link Green technology, the DGS-1210 Series switches are capable of power saving without sacrificing operational performance or functionality. Link status drastically reduces power consumption by automatically toggling ports without a link to sleep mode. The DGS-1210 Series takes the approach to green IT one step further by incorporating a special chipset with advanced silicon technology for efficient use of energy.

Equipped with a complete lineup of L2 features, the DGS-1210 Series includes IGMP snooping, port mirroring, spanning tree protocol and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The IEEE 802.3x flow control function allows servers to directly connect to the switch for fast, reliable data transfers. At 2000 Mbps full duplex, the Gigabit ports provide high-speed data pipes to servers with minimum impact to data transfer fidelity. Network maintenance features include loopback detection and cable diagnostics. Loopback detection is used to detect loops created by a specific port and automatically shut down the affected port. The cable diagnostic feature, designed primarily for administrators and customer service representatives, can rapidly discover errors and determine the cable quality, allowing hassle free diagnostics and maintenance.

The DGS-1210 Series supports Auto Surveillance VLAN (ASV), and Auto Voice VLAN, which are best suited for VoIP and video surveillance deployments. Auto Surveillance VLAN is a new, industry-leading technology that the DGS-1210 Series Web Smart Switch provides. This technology consolidates data and surveillance video transmission through a single DGS-1210 Series, thus sparing businesses the expense of dedicated hardware and facilities. ASV also ensures the quality of real-time video for monitoring and control without compromising the transmission of conventional network data. The Auto Voice VLAN technology enhances the VoIP service by automatically placing voice traffic from an IP phone to an assigned VLAN. With higher priority and individual VLAN, these features guarantee the quality and security of VoIP traffic. The DSCP markings on Ethernet packets enable different levels of service to be assigned to network traffic. As a result, these voice and video packets take precedence over other packets. In addition, with bandwidth control, network administrators can reserve bandwidth for important functions that are higher priority or require a larger bandwidth.

D-Link’s innovative Safeguard Engine protects the switches against traffic flooding caused by virus attacks. The DGS-1210 Series supports 802.1X port based authentication, allowing the network to be authenticated through external RADIUS servers. In addition, the Access Control List (ACL) feature enhances network security and helps to protect the internal IT network. The DGS-1210 Series includes ARP spoofing prevention, which protects from attacks on the network that may allow an intruder to sniff data frames, modify traffic, or bring traffic to a halt altogether by sending fake ARP messages. To prevent ARP spoofing attacks, the switch uses packet control ACLs to block invalid packets that contain fake ARP messages. For added security, the DHCP server screening feature routes DHCP server packets from user ports to prevent unauthorized IP assignment.

The DGS-1210 Series provides a D-Link Network Assistant Utility that enables administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The D-Link network assistant utility allows customers to easily discover multiple D-Link Web Smart Switches within the same L2 network segment. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address of their PC. It also simplifies the initial setup by taking switches, within the same L2 network segment, that are connected to the user’s PC, and displaying them on screen for instant access. This allows extensive switch configuration and basic setup of discovered devices, including password changes and firmware upgrades. The DGS-1210 Series also supports D-View 6.0 and Compact Command Line Interface (CLI) through Telnet. D-View 6.0 is a network management system that allows for the central management of critical network characteristics such as availability, reliability, resilience, and security.

The DGS-1210 Series comes with Ethernet and Gigabit copper ports capable of connecting to existing Cat5 twisted-pair cables. Additionally, with its 8/16/24/48 10/100/1000 Mbps plus four 1G SFP ports for the DGS-1210-20/28/52 models; plus two 1G SFP ports for the DGS-1210-10/10P and 24/48 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE plus four 1G SFP ports for the DGS-1210-52MP/28P/52P models, the switch can provide a more flexible solution for upstream or downstream server connections.
