Description
The DGS-1210/ME Series Metro Ethernet Switches are cutting-edge solutions designed for optimal Metro Ethernet network deployments. These advanced switches offer 8, 16, 24, or 48 Gigabit Ethernet copper connections, complemented by Gigabit SFP ports to enhance uplink capabilities. With robust surge protection, these switches are safeguarded against electrical fluctuations, ensuring uninterrupted network performance. The comprehensive security and management features shield the network from internal and external threats.
Delivering top-tier Gigabit Performance, the DGS-1210/ME Series is equipped with 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet downlink ports, ensuring exceptional network performance. Models with Gigabit SFP uplinks such as DGS-1210-10P/ME, DGS-1210-28P/ME, DGS-1210-52P/ME, and DGS-1210-54MP/ME also include Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. This feature enables network devices like PoE IP cameras to be deployed in locations lacking power sources by transmitting both power and data through a single Ethernet cable.
Designed for efficiency and resilience in mission-critical environments, the DGS-1210/ME Series supports advanced Spanning Tree Protocols, including 802.1D 2004, 802.1w, and 802.1s, for redundancy and reliability. The inclusion of 802.3ad link aggregation empowers users to combine multiple ports for increased bandwidth and redundancy, enhancing network availability. These switches also feature 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS), which prioritizes network traffic through Weighted Round Robin (WRR) and strict priority levels across eight queues. Packet classification options span TOS, DSCP, MAC, IPv4, VLAN ID, TCP/UDP port numbers, protocol types, and custom-defined content, offering tailored solutions for high-priority applications like VoIP or IPTV.
Security and authentication are fortified with support for 802.1X port-based/host-based access control, guest VLAN, and RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication protocols. The IP-MAC-Port Binding feature enhances user access control by allowing administrators to associate an IP address with a corresponding MAC and specify port connections, ensuring secure and managed network access.
