Management Options
The D-Link DGS-1210/ME Metro Ethernet Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using
the web-based management interface, or the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA).
Each switch must be assigned its own IP address, which is used for communication with the web-based
management interface or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same range
as the Switch. Each Switch allows up to four users to access the web-based management interface
concurrently.
However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link Smart Managed Switches, the D-Link Network Assistant
(DNA) is a more convenient choice. By using the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA), you do not need to
change the IP address of your PC, making it easier to simultaneously initialize multiple D-Link Managed
Switches.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web interface and the D-Link Network Assistant
(DNA).
