 Product Introduction 

Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of D-Link DXS-1210 Series Switch. 

D-Link's  latest  generation  L2  10 Gigabit  Ethernet switch series blends plug-and-play simplicity with 
exceptional value and reliability for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking. All models are 
housed in a new style rack-mount metal case with easy-to-view front  panel diagnostic LEDs, and  provides 
advance features including network security, traffic segmentation, QoS and versatile management. 

 

Flexible Port Configurations:

 DXS-1210 Series is D-Link’s latest 10G switch which provides 8-port, 10-port 

10GBASE-T and 12-port SFP+ models. The DXS-1210 Series switches, have the advantage of using 
intuitive feature-rich software and utilizing a neat and simplified Web GUI allowing users to access and 
configure the Switch from everywhere via a web browser. 10GBASE-T provides the requisite backward 
compatibility that allows end users to transparently upgrade from 10/100/1000Mbps to 10 Gbps, using Cat 6, 
6A, 7 unshielded and shielded twisted-pair cables. 10G SFP+ has the advantage of lower power 
consumption, longer cable distance, and better latency performance. Direct Attach Cables (DACs) can be 
used to provide a cost effective way of connecting switches at 10 Gbps that are in close proximity to each 
other. 

 

D-Link Green Technology:

  D-Link Green devices aim to provide eco-friendly  alternatives without 

compromising performance.  D-Link Green Technology includes a number of innovations to reduce energy 
consumption on DXS-1210 series such as reducing power when a port does not have a device attached, or 
adjusting the power usage according to the length of Ethernet cable connected to it.  

 

Extensive Layer 2 Features:

 Implemented as complete L2 devices, these switches include functions such 

as IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree, 802.3ad LACP, SNTP, LLDP and Loopback Detection to 
enhance performance and network resiliency.  

 

Extensive Layer 3 Features:

 These switches include functions such as IP interface, static route, IPv6 Static 

Route, and ARP to enhance performance and network resiliency. 

 

QoS:

 The switches support bandwidth control and 802.1p priority queues, enabling users to run bandwidth-

sensitive  applications such as streaming multimedia by prioritizing that traffic in network. These functions 
allow switches to work  seamlessly with VLAN and 802.1p traffic and IPv6 traffic class priority to prioritize 
traffic on the network.  

 

Network Security:

  D-Link’s innovative Safeguard Engine function  protects the switches against traffic 

flooding  caused by virus attacks. Additional features such as Storm Control can help to keep the network 
from being overwhelmed by  abnormal traffic.  Port Security is another simple but useful authentication 
method to maintain the network device integrity. Also supports DHCP Server Screening, SSL and IP-MAC-
Port Binding features. 

 

Versatile Management:

  The new generation of D-Link  10  Gigabit Ethernet  Switches  provide growing 

businesses with a simple and easy management of their network, using a Web-Based management interface 
that allows administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level.  

  

Users can also access the switch via TELNET. Some basic tasks can be performed such as changing the 
Switch IP address, resetting the settings to factory defaults, setting the administrator password, rebooting the 
Switch, or upgrading the Switch firmware by using the Command Line Interface (CLI). 

In addition, users can utilize the SNMP MIB (

Management Information Base

) to poll the switches for 

information about the status, or send out traps of abnormal events. SNMP support allows users to integrate 
the switches with other third-party devices for management in an SNMP-enabled environment. D-Link DXS-
1210 Series  also  comes  with  the D-View plug-in  module  that works with D-View 6 SNMP Management 
Software, and provides easy-to-use graphic interface and facilitates the operation efficiency.
