The DGS-1210-48 is part of D-Link’s 3rd generation of Web Smart
Switches that integrates advanced management and security functions
for performance and scalability.
With D-link Green technology now in its second generation, the
DGS-1210-48 provides a complete, affordable and eco-friendly
solution for small and medium businesses (SMB).
Seamless Integration
The DGS-1210-48 includes 48 10/100/1000 Mbps ports capable of
connecting to existing Cat.5 twisted-pair cables.
Additionally, the last four ports of the DGS-1210-48 combine SFP
and copper connectivity into one port and therefore provide a
flexible solution for server connections via fiber interface. Using
the default presets, the administrator can quickly set up the
switch without worrying about reconfiguring any settings and
providing easy access for the user.
Extensive Layer 2 Features
Equipped with a complete lineup of L2 features, these switches
include IGMP Snooping, Port Mirroring, Spanning Tree 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 transfer. At 2000 Mbps Full Duplex, the Gigabit ports
provide high-speed data pipes to servers with minimum data transfer
loss. 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. Cable Diagnostics is designed for network administrators to
quickly examine the quality of the copper cables and also determine
the type of cable error.
QoS & bandwidth control
The switch is perfect for deployment in a VoIP environment, as it
supports Auto Voice VLAN and Differentiated Services Code Point
(DSCP) QoS for VoIP application. Auto Voice VLAN will automatically
place voice traffic from an IP phone to an assigned VLAN and by
doing so enhance the VoIP service. With
a higher priority and individual VLAN, this feature guarantees the
quality and security of VoIP traffic. DSCP marks parts of an IP
packet, enabling different
levels of service to be assigned for network traffic.
With Bandwidth Control, the network administrator can reserve
bandwidth for important functions that require a larger bandwidth
or might have high priority.
Secure your Network
D-Link’s unique Safeguard Engine function protects the switch
against traffic flooding caused by virus attacks. The switch also
supports 802.1X port-based authentication, allowing the network to
be authenticated through an external RADIUS server.
In addition, the Access Control List (ACL) feature enhances network
security and helps to protect the internal IT network. The
DGS-1210-48 includes ARP Spoofing Prevention, which protects from
attacks on the Ethernet network that may allow an intruder to sniff
data frames on a LAN, modify traffic,
or bring traffic to a halt altogether by sending fake ARP messages
to the network. 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
screens rogue DHCP server packets from user ports to prevent
unauthorised IP assignment.
Versatile Management
The DGS-1210-48 provides a SmartConsole utility and a web-based
management interface that enables administrators to remotely
control their network down to the port level. The SmartConsole
easily allows customers to 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 and it also provides an easy initial setting of the Smart
Switches. Switches within the same L2 network segment that are
connected to the user’s PC are displayed on screen for instant
access.
This allows extensive switch configuration settings and basic
configuration of discovered devices such as password changes and
firmware upgrades.
The DGS-1210-48 also supports D-View 6.0, D-Link’s own Network
Management System, and Compact Command Line Interface (CLI) through
Telnet.
CLI management of the switches is possible via Telnet. This makes
the adjustment of basic settings like password changes or firmware
and configuration file uploads possible.
D-Link Green
The DGS-1210-48 implements D-Link Green, an innovative concept that
provides energy savings whitout sacrificing operational performance
or functionality.
The switch reacts when devices attached to it are turned off, by
placing the corresponding port in a standby mode that requires less
power. It also automatically detects the length of connected
cables, which allows it to cut power usage on shorter cable
connections up to 20 m.
D-Link Green certification ensures that the switch complies with
the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directives. RoHS restrict the
use of specific hazardous materials during the manufacture of
electrical and electronic goods, while WEEE applies standards for
proper disposal and recyclable packaging to help reduce wastage.
