The D-Link managed gigabit switch for Metro Ethernet and enterprise access layers offers a combination of 10/100/1000BASE-T and SFP ports, CLI support, and rich L2 and L3 Lite features. It delivers higher security thanks to IP-MAC Port Binding (IMPB), ACL, and IEEE 802.1X, and helps build a stable, high-performance network with advanced QoS.
The DGS-1210/ME series is designed for enterprise networks and the public sector where reliable gigabit access, fiber expandability, and advanced management are required. With SFP ports for connectivity expansion and traffic security/management features, it is suitable for a company access layer as well as larger multi-site deployments.
Key features and benefits
- Flexible connectivity: support for 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ-45) and SFP (including combo GbE/SFP depending on the series 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 routing, and static routing.
- QoS for prioritization: IEEE 802.1p, up to 8 queues, WRR scheduling, and strict priority mode – suitable for VoIP/IPTV.
- Multicast for IPTV: IGMP snooping, IGMP filtering, Fast Leave, and multicast traffic assignment to specific ports.
- Bandwidth management: ingress and egress limits with a minimum configuration step of 64 kb/s; support for port mirroring for monitoring and analysis.
- Security: IEEE 802.1X (port/host), Guest VLAN, RADIUS/TACACS+, IMPB, ACL, and the D-Link Safeguard Engine against overload and flooding attacks.
- Management: web interface, CLI, remote access via Telnet/SSH, LLDP, cable diagnostics, and support for D-Link tools for easier administration.
Warranty: after product registration, the Limited Lifetime program can be used (lifetime warranty with limitations according to the manufacturer’s terms).
