The D-Link DGS-1210 Series is the latest generation of switches to provide a range of physical interface types, multiple management interfaces, and advanced Layer 2 features. With all of these features combined, the DGS-1210 Series provides a cost-efficient and flexible solution for expanding any business network.

 

The DGS-1210-52MP switch is equipped with 48 10/100/1000Base-T PoE ports and 4 100/1000Base-T/SFP combo ports, allowing you to choose the most suitable media type for your requirements.

 

The DGS-1210-52MP switch features Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, allowing compatible devices to be installed and powered in remote locations without immediate access to power outlets. Dedicated power adapters are no longer required, as the DGS-1210-52MP complies with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE standards and provide up to 30 watts per port. Perpetual PoE is also available with the DGS-1210-52MP. Perpetual PoE delivers uninterrupted power to connected powered devices (PD) even when the power sourcing equipment (PSE) switch is booting.

 

The DGS-1210-52MP switch comes equipped with a complete lineup of L2 features, including IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), 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. The switch also supports advanced features such as static routes, which allow network administrators to divide the network into VLANs, increasing network efficiency. Network maintenance features include loopback detection and cable diagnostics. Loopback detection significantly speeds up troubleshooting by automatically detecting and shutting down switching loops. The cable diagnostics feature, designed primarily for administrators and customer service representatives, determines the cable quality and quickly discovers errors, allowing for hassle-free diagnostics and maintenance.

 

The DGS-1210-52MP supports Auto Voice VLAN and Surveillance Mode, which allows voice and video traffic to be automatically identified and handled differently to regular network traffic. Auto Voice VLAN detects Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic and automatically segments it from the rest of the network, increasing security and allowing Quality of Service (QoS) to be applied. Surveillance Mode detects compatible ONVIF cameras and places them in a surveillance VLAN, allowing a single switch to be used for voice, video, and data, removing the need for dedicated hardware and reducing maintenance costs. Surveillance Mode also includes its own Web UI, making surveillance features easily accessible and simplifying management of your surveillance network.

 

D-Link's innovative Safeguard Engine protects the switches against traffic flooding caused by virus attacks. The switch also supports 802.1X port-based authentication, allowing the network clients to be authenticated through external RADIUS servers. The Access Control List (ACL) feature enhances network security and helps to protect the internal IT network. The DGS-1210-52MP also features Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) spoofing prevention, which provides protection from attacks on the network that could 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 filters DHCP replies on unauthorized ports to prevent them from being assigned an IP address.

 

The DGS-1210-52MP switch comes with the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) utility that enables administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The D-Link Network Assistant utility furthermore allows customers to easily discover multiple D-Link Smart Managed Switches within the same L2 network segment and display them on-screen for instant access. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address of their PC. This allows for simultaneous configuration and basic setup of all discovered devices, including password changes and firmware upgrades. The switch also supports D-View 7.0 and Command Line Interface (CLI) through Telnet. D-View 7.0 is a network management system that allows for the central management of critical network characteristics such as availability, reliability, resilience, and security.
