Metro Ethernet Switches
DGS-1210 Series
The DGS-1210 Series Metro Ethernet Switches are a range of switches designed 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-1210 Series provides a cost-ecient and exible solution for expanding any business
network.
Seamless Integration
The DGS-1210 Series includes a wide range of port and media types, including
10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, 100/1000 Mbps GbE/SFP combo ports, and 100/1000 Mbps
SFP ports. The DGS-1210-10, DGS-1210-26, DGS-1210-10P and DGS-1210-10MP models feature
2 100/1000 Mbps SFP ports, while all other DGS-1210 Series models feature 2 or 4 GbE/SFP
combo ports, allowing you to choose the most suitable media type for your requirements. All
DGS-1210 Series PoE switches include support for IEEE 802.3af/at and higher 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.
Advanced Features
The DGS-1210 Series comes equipped with a complete lineup of L2 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. Network maintenance features include loopback
detection and cable diagnostics. Loopback detection signicantly 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.
