D-Link DGS-1210-28 28-Port Smart Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch – Layer 2+ with SFP Combo

The D-Link DGS-1210-28 is a 28-port Smart Managed Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small, medium, and enterprise network environments requiring reliable high-speed connectivity and advanced Layer 2 management features. It provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting computers, servers, printers, IP phones, access points, and other network devices, together with 4 Gigabit SFP combo ports for flexible copper or fiber-optic uplink connectivity. With features such as VLAN, Quality of Service (QoS), link aggregation, traffic monitoring, and network security, the DGS-1210-28 provides greater control and flexibility than an unmanaged switch.

Product Features

24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The DGS-1210-28 provides 24 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed connections to computers, servers, network printers, access points, IP phones, CCTV equipment, and other Ethernet-enabled devices.

Gigabit connectivity provides fast data transfer for business applications, file sharing, video surveillance, VoIP, and other bandwidth-intensive workloads.

4 Gigabit SFP Combo Ports

The switch includes 4 Gigabit SFP combo ports, providing flexible connectivity through either copper Ethernet or fiber-optic SFP connections.

These ports can be used for:

• Fiber-optic uplinks
• Network backbone connections
• Switch-to-switch connections
• Server connectivity
• Long-distance network links

The combo design provides flexibility when expanding or upgrading network infrastructure.

Layer 2+ Smart Management

The DGS-1210-28 provides advanced Smart Managed functionality with Layer 2+ features, allowing network administrators to configure and monitor network traffic more effectively.

Management can be performed through a web-based interface, making the switch suitable for professional network environments without the complexity of a fully enterprise-managed platform.

VLAN Support

VLAN functionality allows administrators to divide the network into logical segments. This can be used to separate:

• Office users
• CCTV systems
• VoIP phones
• Guest networks
• Servers
• Wireless networks

Network segmentation can improve organization, traffic control, and security.

Quality of Service

QoS allows administrators to prioritize specific types of traffic. This is particularly useful for VoIP, video conferencing, IP surveillance, and business-critical applications that require consistent network performance.

Link Aggregation

Link aggregation can combine multiple physical network connections into a logical connection to increase available bandwidth and provide redundancy between supported network devices.

Network Security

The switch includes security and access-control features designed to help administrators control network access and protect connected devices.

Traffic Monitoring

Network monitoring features help administrators understand network activity, troubleshoot connectivity issues, and manage connected devices more efficiently.

Energy-Efficient Operation

The switch incorporates energy-saving features designed to reduce power consumption when network links are inactive or when connected devices do not require full power.
