Features of D-Link DGS-1210 Series Gigabit Smart Switches
PoE Support
Some models of the series support Power over Ethernet (PoE) functions, which simplifies the deployment of powered devices, such as IP cameras. Such a design makes this product suitable for enterprises that power VoIP phones, network cameras, or wireless access points. In addition, administrators can control various PoE functions from any location on the network.
Automatic Configuration
The DGS-1210 Series features auto-surveillance VLAN and voice VLAN functions. It can therefore identify and process voice and video traffic automatically, thereby enhancing the network’s security. This function can also ensure the quality of real-time video, as well as the clear quality and efficient transmission of voice communication.
Extensive Management and Layer 2 Features
The device features complete L2 characteristics. Servers can connect directly to switches, enabling fast and reliable data transmission. The device supports static routing. It can also directly handle inter-VLAN routing through multiple interfaces. These functions will allow the network to operate more efficiently.
Silent and Energy-saving
Some models in this series have a fanless design. This design not only enables the product to operate quietly but also reduces energy consumption. This series of products also adopts D-Link Green technology. It can automatically reduce power consumption when unnecessary.
Disadvantages of D-Link DGS-1210 Series Gigabit Smart Switches
Network Failure Problems
We have found that some customers have encountered network failure issues after using this product, including network lag, ping delay, packet loss, or severe interruptions. These problems have caused considerable inconvenience to customers. For those unfamiliar with this type of product, it can be an even greater challenge.
L3 Function Deficiency
This product lacks L3 functionality, which means it can only achieve static routing and is unable to act as a distributed gateway. Additionally, the absence of the L3 function will also result in the loss of power redundancy. It renders the device unable to switch automatically in the event of a primary power supply failure. It may even lead to data loss and hardware damage.
Environmental and Reliability Limitations
Due to its fanless design, the product’s heat dissipation performance is poor. Running for an extended period in a closed environment may cause lag or require a restart. You may need to place it in a well-ventilated area or purchase extra heat dissipation equipment.
Application Scenarios of D-Link DGS-1210 Series Gigabit Smart Switches
The DGS-1210 Series features comprehensive functions and is easy to manage, making it an ideal choice for small and medium-sized enterprises with limited budgets. The automatic monitoring VLAN and voice VLAN functions make it suitable for scenarios that require monitoring systems. It also suits environments with noise reduction requirements due to its fanless design. However, it is ideal only for users with low power and L3 functions demands.
Compatible SFP Module and Patch Cable for D-Link DGS-1210 Series Gigabit Smart Switches
In the DGS-1210 series products, different models correspond to varying numbers of ports. For example, the DGS-1210-28P includes 4 x Gigabit RJ45/SFP Combo ports and 24 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports. The ports support various SFP modules and patch cables.
