The managed Gigabit switch D-Link DGS-1210/ME for Metro Ethernet offers a combination of RJ-45 and SFP ports, advanced Layer 2 features, and selected L3 Lite features for efficient and secure enterprise deployment. You can also use QoS, L2 multicast, and enhanced security (ACL, IEEE 802.1X, IP‑MAC‑Port Binding), including protection with the D‑Link Safeguard Engine.
The D-Link DGS-1210/ME series is designed for access layers of enterprise networks and larger deployments across multiple locations. Thanks to Gigabit ports and optical uplinks via SFP, it enables flexible expansion of connectivity and building a high-performance infrastructure for offices, the public sector, and Metro Ethernet scenarios.
Main benefits and features:
- Flexible connectivity: 10/100/1000BASE‑T RJ‑45 and SFP ports (depending on the model configuration).
- Advanced L2 features: Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1D/802.1w/802.1s), IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation for higher throughput and redundancy.
- L3 Lite: support for IP interfaces, ARP, IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND), default and static routing.
- QoS for traffic prioritization: IEEE 802.1p, WRR scheduling and strict priority mode, up to 8 queues for sensitive services such as VoIP or IPTV.
- Multicast for IPTV: IGMP snooping, IGMP filtering, Fast Leave, and assigning multicast traffic to specific ports.
- Bandwidth management: precise limits for inbound/outbound traffic with a minimum step of 64 kb/s; port mirroring for monitoring.
- Advanced management: web interface, CLI support, and remote management via Telnet/SSH, LLDP and cable diagnostics on ports.
- Security: IEEE 802.1X (port/host), Guest VLAN, RADIUS/TACACS+, ACL, IP‑MAC‑Port Binding (IMPB), and CPU protection using the D‑Link Safeguard Engine against flooding attacks.
The manufacturer states the option to register the product for a Limited Lifetime warranty.
