The Smart Managed Gigabit Switch model DGS-1210-28 is a versatile networking solution designed for small to medium-sized businesses. If your office requires a reliable backbone for high-speed data transfers and advanced security, this 28-port switch is the perfect choice. Specifically, it features 24 dedicated 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 4 Gigabit RJ45/SFP combo ports. Consequently, you can maintain high-speed copper connections while utilizing fiber uplinks for long-distance connectivity.

Advanced Performance with a Smart Managed Gigabit Switch

A primary USP of this hardware is its support for L2+ Static Routing. While basic switches only handle simple traffic, the DGS-1210-28 allows for inter-VLAN routing, which reduces the load on your main router and improves overall network efficiency. Additionally, the device includes advanced Layer 2 features such as IGMP Snooping, Port Mirroring, and Spanning Tree Protocol. Furthermore, the Smart Managed Gigabit Switch offers a unique dual-mode management interface. You can choose between “Standard Mode” for general IT administration or “Surveillance Mode” for a specialized UI that simplifies IP camera management. Therefore, it is the ideal hardware for both corporate data networks and professional security setups.

Enterprise Security and Easy Management

This unit is engineered to protect your business from unauthorized access. It includes the D-Link Safeguard Engine, which prevents the switch from being overwhelmed by traffic flooding caused by virus outbreaks. Because it supports 802.1X port-based authentication and Access Control Lists (ACLs), you can strictly control who accesses your sensitive data. Furthermore, the hardware is built for quiet operation and energy efficiency, automatically adjusting power consumption based on cable length and port status. As a result, you save on operational costs without sacrificing performance.

Deploying the DGS-1210-28 is efficient thanks to multiple management options. You can configure the device via a user-friendly Web UI, the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA), or a full Command Line Interface (CLI) via Telnet. Specifically, the Revision Fx series ensures the latest stability and hardware performance updates for 2026. Because it supports Auto Voice VLAN and Auto Surveillance VLAN, your VoIP calls and video feeds receive automatic priority on the network. Consequently, this switch provides a secure, scalable, and intelligent foundation for any modern business infrastructure.
