The D-Link DGS-F1210 Series Smart Managed Switches are the latest generation of switches to provide increased Power over Ethernet (PoE) output, a range of physical interface types, multiple management interfaces, and advanced Layer 2 features. With all of these features combined, the DGS-F1210 Series provide a cost-efficient and flexible solution for expanding any business network.
PoE Support
The DGS-F1210 Series switches provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, reducing deployment time for IP cameras, VoIP phones, and access points. Dedicated power adapters are no longer required, as the DGS-F1210 Series switches comply with IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) standards and provide up to 30 watts per port. The DGS-F1210-26MPS-E model offers extended PoE budget of up to 380 Watts. Additionally, 8 PoE ports in each switch offer Long Reach PoE technology1, allowing the use of longer network cable runs which are normally limited to 100m. The Long Reach PoE technology supports cables up to 250m long.
Seamless Integration
The DGS-F1210 Series support a range of port and media types, including 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, PoE and PoE+ and Gigabit SFP ports. The DGS-F1210-10PS-E, DGS-F1210-18PS-E, DGS-F1210-26PS-E and DGS-F1210-26MPS-E models feature 2 SFP ports allowing you to choose the most suitable media type for your requirements. All DGS-F1210 Series switches include support for IEEE 802.3af/at and high power budgets, allowing more PoE devices to be powered by the switch and for devices to be installed in remote locations without immediate access to power outlets.
The DGS-F1210 Series come equipped with a complete line-up of Layer 2 features, including IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The IEEE 802.3x Flow Control function allows servers to directly connect to the switch for
fast, reliable data transfers. The DGS-F1210 Series also support advanced features such as port segmentation, which allow network administrators to divide the network into VLANs, increasing network efficiency. Network maintenance features include loop detection and cable diagnostics.
Loop detection significantly speeds up troubleshooting by automatically detecting and shutting down switching loops. The cable diagnostics feature, designed primarily for administrators and customer service representatives, determines the cable quality and quickly discovers errors, allowing for hassle-free diagnostics and maintenance.
The DGS-F1210 Series support 802.1X port-based authentication, allowing the clients to be authenticated through external RADIUS servers. The Access Control List (ACL) feature helps to enhance network security and helps to protect the internal IT network. The DGS-F1210 Series also
feature Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) spoofing prevention, which helps to provide protection from attacks on the network that could allow an intruder to sniff data frames, modify traffic, or bring traffic to a halt altogether by sending fake ARP messages. To help prevent ARP spoofing attacks, the switch uses packet control ACLs to block invalid packets that contain fake ARP messages. The DHCP Snooping feature filters DHCP replies on unauthorised ports to prevent them from being assigned an IP address.
