Product Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of D-Link Smart Managed Switch Products.
D-Link's next generation Smart Managed switch series blends plug-and-play simplicity with exceptional value
and reliability for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking. All models are housed in a new style
rack-mount metal case with easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs, and provides advanced features
including network security, traffic segmentation, QoS and versatile management.
Flexible Port Configurations. The DGS-1210 series is the new generation of Smart Managed Switch series.
It provides 8, 16, 24 or 48 10/100/1000Mbps Non-PoE or PoE ports plus 4 GE/SFP ports. All switches of the
DGS-1210 series feature embedded 4 gigabit SFP uplinks, which provides flexible network topology choices
such as ring, tree, or mixed.
D-Link Green Technology. D-Link Green devices are about providing eco-friendly alternatives without
compromising performance. D-Link Green Technology includes a number of innovations to reduce energy
consumption on DGS-1210 series such as shutting down a port, or turning off some LED indicators, or
adjusting the power usage according to the Ethernet cable connected to it.
Extensive Layer 2 Features. Implemented as complete L2 devices, these switches include functions such
as IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree, 802.3ad LACP and Loopback Detection to enhance
performance and network resiliency.
Traffic Segmentation, QoS and Auto Surveillance VLAN. The switches support 802.1Q VLAN standard
tagging to enhance network security and performance. The switches also support 802.1p priority queues,
enabling users to run bandwidth-sensitive applications such as streaming multimedia by prioritizing that
traffic in network. These functions allow switches to work seamlessly with VLAN and 802.1p traffic in the
network. Auto Surveillance VLAN will automatically place the vedio traffic from pre-defined IP surveillance
devices to an assigned VLAN with higher priority, so it can be separated from normal data traffic. Asymmetric
VLAN is implemented in these switches for a more efficient use of shared resources, such as server or
gateway devices.
Network Security. D-Link's innovative Safeguard Engine function protects the switches against traffic
flooding caused by virus attacks. Additional features like 802.1X port-based authentication provide access
control of the network with external RADIUS servers. ACL is a powerful tool to screen unwanted IP or MAC
traffic. Storm Control can help to keep the network from being overwhelmed by abnormal traffic. Port
Security is another simple but useful authentication method to maintain the network device integrity.
Versatile Management. The new generation of D-Link Smart Managed Switches provides growing
businesses simple and easy management of their network. The multi-language Web-Based management
interface allows administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The intuitive easily
allows customers to discover multiple D-Link Smart Managed Switches in the same L2 network segment.
With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address of PC and provides easy initial setting of smart
switches. The switches within the same L2 network segment connected to user's local PC are displayed on
the screen for instant access. It allows extensive switch configuration setting, and basic configuration of
discovered devices such as a password change or firmware upgrade.
Users can also access the Switch via Telnet. Basic tasks such as changing the Switch IP address, resetting
the settings to factory defaults, setting the administrator password, rebooting the Switch, or upgrading the
Switch firmware can be performed using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
In addition, users can utilize the SNMP MIB (Management Information Base) to poll the switches for
information about the status, or send out traps of abnormal events. SNMP support allows users to integrate
