The DGS-1210/ME Series Metro Ethernet Switches are a range of switches designed for
Metro Ethernet applications. They feature a variety of port congurations, including
10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports and 1G SFP ports for increased network bandwidth. Surge
protection, advanced Layer 2 functions, and a suite of security and management tools make
the DGS-1210/ME Series Metro Ethernet Switches ideal for Metro Ethernet applications.
Multi-Gigabit Performance
The DGS-1210/ME Series Metro Ethernet Switches come in a variety of port setups, including
1
Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 or 1G Ethernet SFP ports. All models oer four 1G Ethernet SFP ports
for long distance Gigabit bre connectivity. The DGS-1210-28MP/ME switch feature Power over
Ethernet (PoE) with 370W PoE power budget, allowing compatible devices to be installed and
powered in remote locations without immediate access to power outlets.
Ecient and Resilient
For mission critical environments, the DGS-1210/ME Series Metro Ethernet Switches support
IEEE 802.1D 2004 edition, 802.1w, and 802.1s Spanning Tree Protocols (STP). The Spanning
Tree Protocol allows the switches to participate in Spanning Tree topology, providing an
alternative Layer 2 path in the event of a network failover. The switches also support IEEE
802.3ad link aggregation, which enables multiple ports to be grouped to form a single virtual
port, increasing bandwidth and redundancy for higher availability. This series furthermore
features IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS), allowing for real-time trac classication into
Weighted Round Robin (WRR) and strict priority levels mapped to 8 queues. Advanced trac
classication parameters allow the network to be tuned for exible congurations for specic
multimedia applications such as VoIP or IPTV.

Security & Authentication
The DGS-1210/ME Series supports IEEE 802.1X port-based/host-based
access control, guest VLAN, and RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication for strict
access control to the network. The IP-MAC-Port Binding (IMPB) feature allows
administrators to associate a source IP address with a designated MAC
address and also oers the exibility to dene the port number to enhance
user access control. The built-in D-Link Safeguard Engine™ protects the CPU
from broadcast, multicast, and unicast ooding by automatically trapping
packets and logging events in these situations. In addition, the Access Control
List (ACL) feature enhances network security and switch performance.
Management Capabilities
A user-friendly web interface gives administrators access to advanced
management features such as DHCP auto-conguration. This enables
switches to load their conguration from a TFTP server once they have
been assigned an IP address, allowing central management of device
congurations. The switches support Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP),
which advertises the device’s capabilities and identity to the local network,
allowing administrators to better manage their network topology. Each port
also supports cable diagnostics, which can be used to troubleshoot cable
length and functionality problems remotely, resulting in lower management
overheads.
Trac & Bandwidth Control
Integrated bandwidth control allows network administrators to dene the
throughput levels for ingress and egress bandwidth. It provides a minimum
granularity of 64 Kbps for ingress port and ow-based bandwidth control,
and a minimum granularity of 64 Kbps for egress queue bandwidth.
The DGS-1210/ME Series also supports trac control, which optimises
performance by dropping packets when exceeding a set threshold, while
port mirroring helps administrators facilitate trac diagnostics and track
network performance. The DGS-1210/ME Series also provides IGMP snooping
with IGMP authentication to prune multicast trac and to optimise available
bandwidth.
Multicast Applications
The DGS-1210/ME Series features a full set of L2 multicast functions, including
IGMP snooping, IGMP ltering, fast leave, and multicast trac conguration
for specic ports. With L2 multicast support, the DGS-1210/ME Series is ready
and capable of handling growing IPTV applications. Host-based IGMP/MLD
snooping allows for multiple multicast subscribers per physical interface, and
ISM VLAN sends multicast streams in a multicast VLAN, saving bandwidth on
the backbone. Additionally, ISM VLAN proles allow users to bind or replace
the predened multicast registration information to subscriber ports quickly
and easily.
