Featuring 24 10GBase-X SFP+ ports and four 10GBase-T ports, the DXS-1210-28S customizable switch delivers up to 10 Gbps traffic switching for use in enterprise aggregation/access layers or in the core of SMB networks. By combining 10GBase-T ports and SFP+ ports, the DXS-1210-28S provides extensive connectivity options, making it easy to integrate into your network. With its high performance, this switch enables services such as cloud services, virtualization, and server-to-server applications.
Energy saving With D-Link Green technology, the DXS-1210-28S switch saves power without compromising performance and functionality. The DXS-1210-28S is equipped with temperature sensors and intelligent fans which are able to change the speed of rotation depending on the temperature, which saves energy and reduces noise. The switch also detects the connection status of each port and automatically suspends inactive ports. The DXS-1210-28S uses a chipset to significantly lower power consumption.
Layer 2 features The DXS-1210-28S offers a full suite of Layer 2 features, including Port Mirroring, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). In addition, the switch has cable diagnostics and Loopback Detection, which allow administrators to quickly and easily locate and correct network problems. Loopback Detection is used to detect loops and automatically shuts down the port where a loopback is detected. Cable Diagnostics are used to identify the type of cable faults.
Auto Surveillance VLAN and Bandwidth Management The DXS-1210-28S supports Auto Surveillance VLAN (ASV) and Auto Voice VLAN and is ideal for VoIP and video surveillance deployments. Auto Surveillance VLAN is a technology that delivers video and data services over a single switch, thereby reducing the cost associated with purchasing additional equipment. ASV also ensures quality real-time video viewing and management without affecting normal network data traffic. Automatic detection of connected VoIP equipment enables "voice" traffic to be placed on a dedicated VLAN. With maximum priority and individual VLANs, this feature ensures the quality and security of VoIP traffic. DSCP marks Ethernet packets by assigning different service levels to network traffic. As a result, voice and video traffic are given higher priority than other types of traffic. In addition, bandwidth management allows network administrators to reserve bandwidth for different bandwidth-hungry applications, or give them maximum priority.
Network security The D-Link Safeguard Engine feature provides an effective mechanism to protect the switch from viruses and malicious traffic. 802.1X port authentication allows the use of an external RADIUS server for user authentication. In addition, the Access Control List (ACL) feature enhances network security by filtering out traffic from unauthorized MAC/IP addresses. For enhanced security, the DHCP Server Screening feature denies access to unauthorized DHCP servers.
Convenient Management The DXS-1210-28S switch supports management with the D-Link Network Assistant utility. This utility automatically detects and displays D-Link Smart Series switches belonging to the same L2 network segment. With this utility, the user does not need to change the IP address of his computer, which simplifies the initial installation of the switch. Advanced configuration and basic configuration of detected devices, such as password changes and software updates, are available to the user. The DXS-1210-28S switch also supports D-View 7 software and a complete command-line interface (CLI). D-View 7 is a network management system that allows you to manage the most important parameters such as availability, reliability, flexibility and security.
