1 Product Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of D-Link Web Smart Switch Products.
D-Link's next generation Web Smart Ethernet 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 Web Smart series. It provides
a variety of port counts- 16 or 24 10/100/1000Mbps ports plus 4 SFP ports, or 44 10/100/1000Mbps ports
plus 4 Combo Copper/SFP ports.
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 video 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 Web Smart Switches provides growing businesses
with a simple and easy management of their network, using a Web-Based management interface that allows
administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level.
Users can also access the switch via TELNET. Some basic tasks can be performed 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 by 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
the switches with other third-party devices for management in an SNMP-enabled environment
