D-Link DES-1210-28P PoE+ Smart Managed Switch Features in Kenya

24 Fast Ethernet PoE Ports

The DES-1210-28P provides 24 10/100 Mbps PoE-enabled Ethernet ports for connecting powered network devices. Power and data can be delivered through the same Ethernet cable, helping simplify installations and reduce dependence on separate electrical outlets near each device.

Up to 193W PoE Power Budget

With a total PoE power budget of up to 193W, the switch can centrally power multiple compatible IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones and other PoE-enabled equipment. Intelligent PoE deployment helps simplify cabling and centralized power management.

Flexible Gigabit Uplink Connectivity

Two dedicated 10/100/1000BASE-T uplink ports provide high-speed connections to routers, servers, NVRs or upstream switches. These Gigabit interfaces help prevent Fast Ethernet access traffic from creating unnecessary uplink bottlenecks.

Combo Copper and Fiber Uplinks

Two additional combo 10/100/1000BASE-T/SFP interfaces provide flexibility to use either copper Ethernet or compatible SFP fiber connectivity. Fiber uplinks are particularly useful for backbone connections, longer-distance links and integration between network cabinets or buildings.

12.8 Gbps Switching Capacity

The switch delivers up to 12.8 Gbps of switching capacity and approximately 9.5 Mpps packet forwarding performance, providing reliable traffic handling across connected access devices and Gigabit uplinks.

Smart Managed Network Control

Unlike an unmanaged switch, the DES-1210-28P provides administrators with intelligent control over network configuration and traffic. Features such as VLANs, port mirroring, loopback detection and traffic management make it suitable for professional business and surveillance installations.

VLAN Network Segmentation

VLAN functionality allows administrators to logically separate different users, departments and network services on the same physical switching infrastructure. For example, surveillance cameras, office computers and VoIP devices can be placed on separate network segments for improved organization and security.

Quality of Service

IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service helps prioritize latency-sensitive network traffic such as voice and video. This is particularly useful in converged networks carrying VoIP calls, IP surveillance streams and standard business data simultaneously.

IGMP Snooping for Multicast Traffic

IGMP Snooping intelligently manages multicast traffic by forwarding it only to ports that require the data. This helps reduce unnecessary network traffic and improves bandwidth efficiency for multicast video and other supported applications.

Static Routing Support

Static routing capabilities provide basic Layer 3 functionality for directing traffic between network segments. This can improve internal traffic efficiency in networks containing multiple VLANs and subnets.

Advanced Network Security

Security features including IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication, Access Control Lists and DHCP filtering help control network access and protect connected resources against unauthorized devices and unwanted traffic.

D-Link Safeguard Engine

D-Link Safeguard Engine helps protect the switch CPU against excessive traffic generated by malicious activity or network abnormalities, contributing to stable switching performance during unusual traffic conditions.

IPv6 Support

IPv6 compatibility helps prepare the network for modern addressing requirements and provides greater flexibility when integrating the switch into current and future IP network environments.

Flexible Management Options

Administrators can configure and monitor the DES-1210-28P through its web-based graphical interface, compact CLI, SNMP and D-Link Network Assistant. These options accommodate both straightforward local administration and centralized network management.

Smart Fan Cooling

The switch incorporates smart fan cooling to maintain suitable internal operating temperatures while adjusting cooling performance according to system requirements. This provides the active thermal management required for a high-density PoE switch while helping control unnecessary fan noise.

Energy Efficient Ethernet

IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet helps reduce electricity consumption during periods of lower network activity, contributing to more efficient continuous operation in offices, surveillance installations and other business environments.
