D-Link DXS-1210-16TC DXS-1210 Series 10 Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Switches

DXS-1210-16TC DXS-1210 Series 10 Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Switches

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 builtin 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.
