Switch Description
DES-1210/ME Series is D-Link's Metro Ethernet Managed switch which provides 48 copper ports
(10/100Mbps) and 4 combo Copper/SFP (100/1000Mbps) that can be used to attach various networking
devices to the network like Computers, Notebooks, Print Servers, Network Attached Storage devices, IP
Cameras, VoIP PBX devices, and other Switches. The Small Form Factor Portable (SFP) combo ports can
be used together with fiber-optical transceivers in order to connect various other networking devices, using a
fiber-optic connection, to the network at Gigabit Ethernet speeds over great distances.
This DES-1210/ME Metro Ethernet Managed switch provides unsurpassed performance, fault tolerance,
scalability, robust security, standard-based interoperability and impressive technology to future-proof
departmental and enterprise network deployments.
It allows IGMP Snooping and Authentication, QoS, Bandwidth Control, ACL and many security functions. It
can be managed by Web UI, or commands via Telnet.
These switches have a combination of 1000BASE-T ports and SFP ports that may be used in to uplink
various network devices to the Switch, including PCs, hubs and other switches to provide a gigabit Ethernet
uplink in full-duplex mode. The SFP (Small Form Factor Portable) combo ports are used with fiber-optical
