1 Product Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of D-Link Web Smart Switch Products.
D-Link's next generation Web Smart Ethernet switch series blends plug-and-play simplicity with exceptional
value and reliability for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking. All models are housed in a new
style rack-mount metal case with easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs, and provides advanced features
including network security, traffic segmentation, QoS and versatile management.
Flexible Port Configurations. The DGS-1210 series is the new generation of Web Smart series. It provides
a variety of port counts- 16, 24 or 48 10/100/1000Mbps ports plus 4 SFP ports. Besides, the series offers a
PoE model with 24 10/100/1000Mbps PoE ports plus 4 SFP ports.
The first 4 ports of DGS-1210-28P also support up to 30 watts PoE power for the connections of PoE +
Power Devices, allowing them to be deployed at difficult places such as on high walls and ceilings, where AC
power outlets are not readily available.
D-Link Green Technology. D-Link Green devices are about providing eco-friendly alternatives without
compromising performance. D-Link Green Technology includes a number of innovations to reduce energy
consumption on DGS-1210 series such as shutting down a port, or turning off some LED indicators, or
adjusting the power usage according to the Ethernet cable connected to it. For PoE model such as DGS1210-28P, D-Link Green Technology offers Time-based PoE feature to shut down per port power off working
hours.
Extensive Layer 2 Features. Implemented as complete L2 devices, these switches include functions such
as IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree, 802.3ad LACP and Loopback Detection to enhance
performance and network resiliency.
Traffic Segmentation, QoS and Auto Surveillance VLAN. The switches support 802.1Q VLAN standard
tagging to enhance network security and performance. The switches also support 802.1p priority queues,
enabling users to run bandwidth-sensitive applications such as streaming multimedia by prioritizing that
traffic in network. These functions allow switches to work seamlessly with VLAN and 802.1p traffic in the
network. Auto Surveillance VLAN will automatically place the vedio traffic from pre-defined IP surveillance
devices to an assigned VLAN with higher priority, so it can be separated from normal data traffic. Asymmetric
VLAN is implemented in these switches for a more efficient use of shared resources, such as server or
gateway devices.
Network Security. D-Link’s innovative Safeguard Engine function protects the switches against traffic
flooding caused by virus attacks. Additional features like 802.1X port-based authentication provide access
control of the network with external RADIUS servers. ACL is a powerful tool to screen unwanted IP or MAC
traffic. Storm Control can help to keep the network from being overwhelmed by abnormal traffic. Port
Security is another simple but useful authentication method to maintain the network device integrity.
Versatile Management. The new generation of D-Link Web Smart Switches provides growing businesses
with a simple and easy management of their network, using an intuitive SmartConsole utility or a Web-Based
management interface that allows administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The
SmartConsole easily allows customers to discover multiple D-Link web smart switches with the same L2
network segment connected to the user’s local PC. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP
address of the PC and provide easy initial settings of the smart switches. The switches within the same L2
network segment connected to the user’s local PC are displayed on the screen for instant access. It allows
extensive switch configuration settings, and basic configuration of discovered devices, such as a password
change or firmware upgrade.
Users can also access the switch via TELNET. Some basic tasks can be performed such as changing the
Switch IP address, resetting the settings to factory defaults, setting the administrator password, rebooting the
Switch, or upgrading the Switch firmware by using the Command Line Interface (CLI).

In addition, use
rs can utilize the SNMP MIB (Management Information Base) to poll the switches for
information about the status, or send out traps of abnormal events. SNMP support allows users to integrate
the switches with other third-party devices for management in an SNMP-enabled environment. D-Link Web
Smart Switches also come with the D-View plug-in module that works with D-View 6 SNMP Management
Software, and provides easy-to-use graphic interface and facilitates the operation efficiency.

3 Getting Started
This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link Web-Smart Switch.
Management Options
The D-Link Web Smart Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the Web-based
Management, or through any PC using the SmartConsole Utility.
Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with the Web-Based
Management or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same range as the
switch. Each switch can allow up to four users to access the Web-Based Management concurrently.
However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link Web Smart Switches, the SmartConsole Utility is a more
convenient choice. By using the SmartConsole Utility, you do not need to change the IP address of your PC
and it is easier to initialize multiple Smart Switches.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management and the SmartConsole
Utility.
Using Web-based Management
After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch, monitor the network status, and display
statistics using a web browser.
Supported Web Browsers
The embedded Web-based Management currently supports the following web browsers:
Internet Explorer 6 or later version
Netscape 8 or later version
Firefox 3.0 or later version
Chrome 5.0 or later version
Safari 4.0 or later version
Opera 10 or later version
Connecting to the Switch
You will need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:
1. A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
2. A standard Ethernet cable

System > System Settings
The System Setting allows the user to configure the IP address and the basic system information of the
Switch.
IP Information: There are two ways for the switch to obtain an IP address: Static and DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol).
When using static mode, the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway can be manually configured. When
using DHCP mode, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to provide it with an IP address (including
network mask and default gateway) before using the default or previously entered settings. By default the IP
setting is static mode with IP address is 10.90.90.90 and subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
System Information: By entering a System Name and System Location, the device can more easily be
recognized through the SmartConsole Utility and from other Web-Smart devices on the LAN.
Login Timeout: The Login Timeout controls the idle time-out period for security purposes, and when there is
no action for a specific time span in the Web-based Management. If the current session times out (expires),
the user is required a re-login before using the Web-based Management again. Selective range is from 3 to
30 minutes, and the default setting is 5 minutes.
Group Interval: The D-Link Web Smart Switch will routinely send report packets to the SmartConsole Utility
in order to maintain the information integrity. The user can adjust the Group Interval to optimal frequency.
Selective range is from 120 to 1225 seconds, and 0 means disabling the reporting function.

connections can operate in Forced Mode settings (1000M Full, 100M Full, 100M Half, 10M Full, 10M Half),
Auto, or Disabled. 100M Fiber connections support 100M Full Force Mode, 100M Half Force Mode, or
Disabled. The default setting for all ports is Auto.
NOTE: Be sure to adjust port speed settings
appropriately after changing the connected cable
media types.
MDI/MDIX:
A medium dependent interface (MDI) port is an Ethernet port connection typically used on the Network
Interface Ca
rd (NIC) or Integrated NIC port on a PC. Switches and hubs usually use Medium dependent
interface crossover (MDIX) interface. When connecting the Switch to end stations, user have to use
straight through Ethernet cables to make sure the Tx/Rx pairs match up properly. When connecting the
Switch to other networking devices, a crossover cable must be used.
This switch provides a configurable MDI/MDIX function for users. The switches can be set as an MDI port in
r to connect to other hubs or switches without an Ethernet crossover cable.
orde
Auto MDI/MDIX is designed on the switch to detect if the
connection is backwards, and automatically
chooses MDI or MDIX to properly match the connection. The default setting is “Auto” MDI/MDIX.
Flow Control: You can enable this function to mitigate the traffic congestion. Ports configured for full-duplex
use 802.3x flow control, half-duplex ports use backpressure flow control. The default setting is Disabled.
Link Status: Reporting Down indicates the port is disconnected.
System > DHCP Auto Configuration
This page allows you to enable the DHCP Auto Configuration feature on the Switch. When enabled, the
Switch becomes a DHCP client and gets the configuration file from a TFTP server automatically on next boot
up. To accomplish this, the DHCP server must deliver the TFTP server IP address and configuration file
name information in the DHCP reply packet. The TFTP server must be up and running and store the
necessary configuration file in its base directory when the request is received from the Switch.

System > Power Saving
The Power Saving mode feature reduces power consumption automatically when the RJ-45 port is link down
or the connected devices are turned off. Less power will be consumed also when the short cable is used
(less than 20 meters).
By reducing power consumption, less heat is produced, resulting in extended product life and lower
operating costs. By default, the Cable Length Detection and Link Status Detection are enabled. Click Apply
to make the change effective.
Figure 5.25 – System > Power Saving
Advanced Power Saving Settings:
Type: Specifies the Power Saving type to be LED Shut-off, Port Shut-off, Port Standby or System

LED Shut-off - The LED Shut-off gets high priority. If the user select LED Shut-off, the profile
function will not take effect. It means the LED can not be turned on after Time Profile time’s up when
the state is disabled. On the contrary, if the LED is enabled, the Time Profile function will work.
Port Shut-off - The Port Shut-off state has high priority (the priority rule is the same as LED.)
Therefore, if the Port Shut-off sate is already disabled the Time Profile function will not take effect.
Port Standby - The system changes to standby state and wait for a wake up event. Each port on the
system enters sleep state by schedule.
System Hibernation - In this mode, switches get most power-saving figures since main chipsets
(both MAC and PHY) are disabled for all ports, and energy required to power the CPU is minimal.
State: Specifies the power saving state to be Enabled or Disabled.
Time Profile 1: Specifies the time profile or None.
Time Profile 2: Specifies the time profile or None.
Port: Specifies the ports to be configure of the Power Saving.

VLAN > 802.1Q VLAN
A VLAN is a group of ports that can be anywhere in the network, but communicate as though they were in
the same area.
VLANs can be easily organized to reflect department groups (such as R&D, Marketing), usage groups (such
as e-mail), or multicast groups (multimedia applications such as video conferencing), and therefore help to
simplify network management by allowing users to move devices to a new VLAN without having to change
any physical connections.

Voice VLAN is a feature that allows you to automatically place the voice traffic from IP phone to an assigned
VLAN to enhance the VoIP service. With a higher priority and individual VLAN, the quality and the security of
VoIP traffic are guaranteed. The Voice VLAN function will only insert the Voice VLAN tag to untagged
packets under corresponding ports. If a VoIP packet comes with a VLAN tag, the Voice VLAN function won’t
replace the original VLAN tag.
Figure 5.30 – VLAN > Voice VLAN > Voice VLAN Global Settings
Voice VLAN: Select to enable or disable Voice VLAN. The default is Disabled. After you enabled Voice
VLAN, you can configure the Voice VLAN Global Settings.
VLAN ID: The ID of VLAN that you want to assign voice traffic to. You must first create a VLAN from the
802.1Q VLAN page before you can assign a dedicated Voice V
LAN. The member port you configured in
802.1Q VLAN setting page will be the static member port of voice VLAN. To dynamically add ports into the
voice VLAN, please enable the Auto Detection function
Priority: The 802.1p priority levels of the traffic in the Voice VLAN.
Aging Time (1-120): Enter a period of time (in hours) to remove a port from the voice VLAN if the port is an
automatic VLAN member. When the last voice device stops sending traffic and the MAC address of this
voice device is aged out, the voice VLAN aging timer will start. The port will be removed from the voice VLAN
after the expiration of the voice VLAN aging timer. Selectable range is from 1 to 120 hours, and default is 1.
Click Apply to implement changes made.
Voice VLAN OUI Settings: This allows the user to configure the user-defined voice traffic’s OUI. An
Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) is the first three bytes of the MAC address. This identifier uniquely
identifies a vendor, manufacturer, or other organization.
There are some pre-defined OUIs and when the user configures personal OUI, these pre-defined OUIs must
be avoided. Below are the pre-defined voice traffic’s OUI:

The Switch implements two versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol, the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol

RSTP can operate with legacy equipment implementing IEEE 802.1D, however the advantages of using
RSTP will be lost.
The IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) evolved from the 802.1D STP standard. RSTP was
developed in order to overcome some limitations of STP that impede the function of some recent switching
innovations. The basic function and much of the terminology is the same as STP. Most of the settings

By default, Rapid Spanning Tree is disabled. If enabled, the Switch will listen for BPDU packets and its
accompanying Hello packet. BPDU packets are sent even if a BPDU packet was not received. Therefore,
each link between bridges is sensitive to the status of the link. Ultimately this difference results in faster
detection of failed links, and thus faster topology adjustment.
After enabling STP, setting the STP Global Setting includes the following options:

Last Member Query Interval (1-25 sec): The Last Member Query Interval is the Max Response Time
inserted into Group-Specific Queries sent in response to Leave Group messages, and is also the amount of
time between Group-Specific Query messages. This value may be adjusted to modify the "leave latency" of
the network. A reduced value results in reduced time to detect the loss of the last member of a group. Default
is 1 second.
Max Response Time (10-25 sec): The Max Response Time specifies the maximum allowed time before
sending a responding report message. Adjusting this setting effects the "leave latency", or the time between
the moment the last host leaves a group and when the multicast

Security > ARP Spoofing Prevention
ARP spoofing, also known as ARP poisoning, is a method to attack an Ethernet network by allowing an
attacker to sniff data frames on a LAN, modifying the traffic, or stopping the traffic (known as a Denial of
Service – DoS attack). The main idea of ARP spoofing is to send fake or spoofed ARP messages to an
Ethernet network. It associates the attacker's or random MAC address with the IP address of another node
such as the default gateway. Any traffic meant for that IP address would be mistakenly re-directed to the
node specified by the attacker.
A common DoS attack today can be done by associating a nonexistent or specified MAC address to the IP
address of the network’s default gateway. The malicious attacker only needs to broadcast one gratuitous
ARP to the network claiming to be the gateway, so that the whole network operation is turned down as all
packets to the Internet will be directed to the wrong node.
The ARP Spoofing Prevention function can discard the ARP Spoofing Attack in the network by checking the
gratuitous ARP packets and filtering those with illegal IP or MAC addresses.

Security > Smart Binding > Smart Bi
The primary purpose of Smart Binding is to restrict client access to a switch by enabling administrators to
configure pairs of client MAC and IP addresses that are allowed to access networks through a switch.
The Smart Binding function is port-based, meaning that a user can enable or disable the function on any
individual port. Once Smart Binding is enabled on a switch port, the switch will restrict or allow client access
by checking the pair of IP-MAC addresses with the pre-configured database, also known as the “IMPB white
list”.
Users can enable or disable the Inspection packets and DHCP Snooping on the Switch.

sable Smart Binding.
Packet Inspection: Specifies ARP Inspection or IP+ARP Inspection for the IP packets. If ARP inspection is
selected, the Switch will inspect incoming ARP packets and compare them with the Switch’s Smart Binding
white list entries. If the IP-MAC pair of an ARP packet is not found in the white list, the Switch will block the
MAC address. A major benefit of Loose state is that it uses less CPU resources. However, it cannot block
malicious users who send only unicast IP packets. An example of this is that a malicious user can perform
DoS attacks by statically configuring the ARP table on their PC. In this case, the Switch cannot block such
attacks because the PC will not send out ARP packets. If ARP+ IP Inspection mode is selected, the Switch
will inspect all incoming ARP and IP packets and compare them to the IMPB white list. If the IP-MAC pair
find a match in the white list, the packets from that MAC address are unblocked. If not, the MAC address will
stay blocked. While the mode examines every ingress ARP and IP packet, it enforces better security.
DHCP Snooping: By enable DHCP Snooping, the switch will snoop the packets sent from DHCP Server and
clients, and update information to the White List.

AAA > 802.1X > 802.1X Settings
Network switches provide easy and open access to resources, by simply attaching a client PC. Unfortunately
this automatic configuration also allows unauthorized personnel to easily intrude and possibly gain access to
sensitive data.
IEEE-802.1X provides a security standard for network access control, especially in Wi-Fi wireless networks.
802.1X holds a network port disconnected until authentication is completed. The switch uses Extensible
Authentication Protocol over LANs (EAPOL) to exchange authentication protocol client identity (such as a
user name) with the client, and forward it to another remote RADIUS authentication server to verify access
rights. The EAP packet from the RADIUS server also contains the authentication method to be used. The
client can reject the authentication method and request another, depending on the configuration of the client
software and the RADIUS server. Depending on the authenticated results, the port is either made available
to the user, or the user is denied access to the network.
The RADIUS servers make the network a lot easier to manage for the administrator by gathering and storing
the user lists.

Confirm Key: Enter the Key a second time for confirmation.
TxPeriod (1 – 65535 sec): This sets the TxPeriod of time for the authenticator PAE state machine. This
value determines the period of an EAP Request/Identity packet transmitted to the client. Default is 24
seconds.
ReAuthEnabled: This function is to determine whether regular re-authentication will take place on this
port(s). When the 802.1X function is enabled, the switch sends an EAP-request/identity packet to client. The
ReAuthEnabled function is by default disabled.
QuietPeriod (0 – 65535 sec): Sets the number of seconds that the switch remains in the quiet state
following a failed authentication exchange with the client. Default is 60 seconds.
SuppTimeout (1 – 65535 sec): This value determines timeout conditions in the exchanges between the
Authenticator and the client. Default is 30 seconds.
ServerTimeout (1 – 65535 sec): Sets the amount of time the switch waits for a response from the client
before resending the response to the authentication server. Default is 30 seconds.
MaxReq (1 – 10): This parameter specifies the maximum number of times that the switch retransmits an
EAP request (md-5challnege) to the client before it times out the authentication session. Default is 2 times.
ReAuthPeriod (1 – 4294967295 sec): This command affects the behavior of the switch only if periodic re-
authentication is enabled. Default is 3600.
To establish 802.1X port-specific assignments, select the From Ports / To Ports and select Enable.
802.1X Port Access Control: Three type of Port Access Control State can be "Force Authorized", "Force
UnAuthorized", and "Auto".
Select Force Authorized to disable 802.1X and cause the port to transition to the authorized state without
any authentication exchange required. This means the port transmits and receives normal traffic without
802.1X-based authentication of the client.
If Force Unauthorized is selected, the port will remain in the unauthorized state ignoring all attempts by the
client to authenticate. The Switch cannot provide authentication services to the client through the interface.
If Auto is selected, it will enable 802.1X and cause the port to begin in the unauthorized state, allowing only
EAPOL frames to be sent and received through the port. The authentication process begins when the link
state of the port transitions from down to up, or when an EAPOL-start frame is received. The Switch then
requests the identity of the client and begins relaying authentication messages between the client and the
authentication server.The default setting is Auto.

dify the settings of gateways, routers, switches, and other network devices. Use SNMP to
configure system features for proper operation, monitor performance and detect potential problems in the
Switch or LAN.
Managed devices that support SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs locally on the
device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage
the device. These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard
presentation of the information controlled by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both the format of the
MIB specifications and the protocol used to access this information over the network.
The default SNMP global state is disabled. Select Enable and click Apply to enable the SNMP function.

Appendix A - Ethernet Technology
This chapter will describe the features of the D-Link Web Smart Switch and provide some background
information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet switching technology.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format, and
support for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, and management objects, but with a tenfold increase in
theoretical throughput of over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet.
Since it is compatible with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a
straightforward upgrade without wasting existing investments in hardware, software, or trained personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet is essential in solving network
bottlenecks, which frequently develops as more advanced computer users and newer applications continue
to demand greater network resources. Upgrading key components, such as backbone connections and
servers to Gigabit Ethernet technology, can greatly improve network response times as well as significantly
speed up the traffic between subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fiber connections to support video conferencing, complex imaging, and
similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet,
servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the
same amount of time.
In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-effective method to
take advantage of today and tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing internetworking
technologies. With expected advances in the coming years in silicon technology and digital signal processing,
which will enable Gigabit Ethernet to eventually operate over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling, a flexible
foundation for the next generation of network technology products will be created. This will outfit your
network with a powerful 1000-Mbps-capable backbone/server connection.
Fast Ethernet Technology
The growing importance of LANs, and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are
fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies have been
proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times. Among them, 100BASE-T
(Fast Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the current 10BASE-T technology. The
non-disruptive and smooth evolution nature, and the dominating potential market base, virtually guarantees
cost-effective and high performance Fast Ethernet solutions.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a standard specified by the IEEE 802.3 LAN committee. It is an extension of the
10Mbps Ethernet standard with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while maintaining the
CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet is compatible with all other 10Mbps Ethernet
environments, it provides a straightforward upgrade and utilizes existing investments in hardware, software,
and personnel training.
Switching Technology
Another approach to push beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching
technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting
among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area
network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a local area network into
different segments, which won’t compete with each other for network transmission capacity.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments. The switch, without
interfering with any other segments, automatically forwards traffic that needs to go from one segment to
another. By doing this the total network capacity is multiplied, while still maintaining the same network
cabling and adapter cards.

Power Saving: Enabled by default to save
power:
- By Link Status: Drastically save power
when the switch port link is down. For
example, no PC connection or the
connected PC is powered off.
- By Cable Length: Detects the length of
connected RJ-45 cables and adjusts power
usage accordingly without affecting
performance. Once the RJ-45 connection is
less than 20 meters, the switch will reduce
the power instead of full power, which is
only needed for 100 meters cables.
- By LED Shut-Off: LEDs can be turned
on/off by port or system through schedule.
- By Port Shut-Off: Each port on the system
can be turned on/off by schedule.
- By Port Standby: Each port on the system
enters sleep state by schedule.
- By System Hibernation: System enters
hibernation by schedule. In this mode,
switches save most power since main
chipsets (both MAC and PHY) are disabled
for all ports, and energy required to power
the CPU is minimal.

Appendix C – Rack mount Instructions
Safety Instructions - Rack Mount Instructions - The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included
with the installation instructions:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use
of power strips).
