The D-Link DXS-1210 Series 10 Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Switches are a cost-effective 10  Gigabit  switch  series  capable  of  servicing  a  range  of  network  needs  in  any  business. Supporting  10GBASE-T/SFP+  combo  ports,  this  series  provides  connection  flexibility  across a  network  allowing  easier  network  integration.  With  high  performance  and  low  latency, the  DXS-1210  Series  fulfills  the  needs  for  virtualization,  cloud  services,  and  server-to-server applications, making it perfect for Small-to-Medium-Business (SMB) customers.

Energy Efficient

By incorporating D-Link Green technology, this series of switches is capable of saving power without sacrificing operational performance or functionality.  The switches feature built-in  smart  fans  with  internal  heat  sensors  that  monitor  and  detect  temperature  changes  and react accordingly by utilizing different fan speeds for different temperatures. At lower temperatures,  the  fans  will  run  slower,  reducing  the  switch’s  power  consumption  and  noise. Link  status  drastically  reduces  power  consumption  by  automatically  putting  ports  without  a link  into  a  sleep  mode. The  DXS-1210  Series  takes  the  approach  to  green  IT  one  step  further by incorporating a special chipset with advanced silicon technology for efficient use of energy.

Extensive Management and Layer 2 Features

The  DXS-1210  Series  comes  with  a  complete  lineup  of  L2  features,  includes  port  mirroring, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). Network maintenance features include loopback detection and cable diagnostics. Loopback detection significantly speeds up troubleshooting by automatically detecting and shutting down difficult to diagnose switching loops. The cable diagnostic feature, designed primarily for administrators and  customer  service  representatives,  determines  the  cable  quality  and  quickly  discovers errors, allowing hassle-free diagnostics and maintenance.

Quality of Service and Bandwidth Control

The DXS-1210 Series supports Auto Surveillance VLAN (ASV) and Auto Voice VLAN, which are best suited for VoIP and video surveillance deployments. Auto Surveillance  VLAN  is  a  new,  industry-leading  technology  that  consolidates data  and  surveillance  video  transmission  through  a  single  DXS-1210  Series switch,  thus  sparing  businesses  the  expense  of  dedicated  hardware  and facilities.  ASV  also  ensures  quality  real-time  video  monitoring  and  control without compromising the transmission of conventional network data. Auto Voice VLAN  technology  enhances  the VoIP  service  by  automatically  placing voice  traffic  from  IP  phones  to  a  designated VLAN. With  higher  priority  and an individual VLAN, these features guarantee the quality and security of VoIP traffic.  The  Differentiated  Service  Code  Point  (DSCP)  markings  on  Ethernet packets enable different levels of service to be assigned to network traffic. As a result, these voice and video packets take precedence over other packets. In  addition,  with  bandwidth  control,  network  administrators  can  reserve bandwidth  for  important  functions  that  require  higher  priority  or  more bandwidth.

Seamless Integration

The  DXS-1210  Series  comes  with  both  RJ-45  and  SFP+  ports  capable  of connecting  to  Cat.  6  and  fiber  for  10G  Ethernet.  The  DXS-1210-10TS  has  8 10GBASE-T  ports  and  2  SFP+  ports,  the  DXS-1210-12TC  has  an  additional  2 10GBASE-T/SFP+  combo  ports,  while  the  DXS-1210-12SC  has  10  10G  SFP+ ports  and  2  10GBASE-T/SFP+  combo  ports. The  DXS-1210-16TC  also  has  12 10GBASE-T  ports,  2  SFP+  ports,  and  2  10GBASE-T/SFP+  combo  ports.  This means  the  DXS-1210  Series  can  provide  a  flexible  solution  for  upstream  or downstream server connections, making network administration easy.

Versatile Management

The DXS-1210 Series comes with the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) utility that simplifies the configuration of devices that support the D-Link Discovery Protocol.  The  D-Link  Network  Assistant  utility  easily  allows  customers  to discover multiple D-Link Smart Managed Switches within the same L2 network segment and displays them on screen for instant access. With this utility, users do  not  need  to  change  the  IP  address  of  their  PC. This  utility  further  allows for  simultaneous  configuration  and  basic  setup  of  all  discovered  devices, including  password  changes  and  firmware  upgrades.  The  DXS-1210  Series also supports D-View 7 and a full Command Line Interface (CLI) through the console  port  and  Telnet.  D-View  7  is  a  network  management  system  that allows for the central management of critical network characteristics such as availability, reliability, resilience, and security.

Secure your Network

D-Link’s  innovative  Safeguard  Engine™  protects  the  switches  against  traffic flooding  caused  by  malicious  attacks. The  DXS-1210  Series  supports  802.1X port-based and host-based authentication, allowing the network 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 DXS-1210 Series also features Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) spoofing  prevention,  which  protects  from  attacks  on  the  network  that  may 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.
