1 Product Introduction D-Link Web Smart Switch User Manual

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).

1 Product Introduction D-Link Web Smart Switch User Manual

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.
