Switch Description

The DGS-1210/ME Metro Ethernet Switch is equipped with Copper ports (10/100/1000Mbps) and SFP

ports (1000Mbps) that can be used to attach various networking devices to the network like Computers,

Notebooks, Print Servers, Network Attached Storage devices, IP Cameras, VoIP PBX devices, and other

Switches. The Small Form Factor Portable (SFP) ports can be used together with fiber-optical transceivers in

order to connect various other networking devices, using a fiber-optic connection, to the network at Gigabit

Ethernet speeds over great distances.

This DGS-1210/ME Metro Ethernet Switch provides unsurpassed performance, fault tolerance, scalability,

robust security, standard-based interoperability and impressive technology to future-proof departmental and

enterprise network deployments.

It allows IGMP Snooping and Authentication, QoS, Bandwidth Control, ACL and many security functions. It

can be managed by Web UI, or commands via Telnet.

The DGS-1210/ME Metro Ethernet Switches have different port configuration (10/100/1000Base-T or SFP

ports) that may be used in to uplink various network devices to the Switch, including PCs, hubs and other

switches to provide a gigabit Ethernet uplink in full-duplex mode. The SFP (Small Form Factor Portable)

ports are used with fiber-optical transceiver cabling in order to uplink various other networking devices for a

gigabit link that may span great distances.
