D-Link DGS-1210-20 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch with SFP

Flexible Copper and Fibre Links for a Growing Office The D-Link DGS-1210-20 brings managed Gigabit connectivity to a growing office with mixed copper and fibre connections. It combines 16 dedicated Gigabit RJ45 ports plus 4 Gigabit RJ45/SFP combo ports, 40 Gbps switching capacity and a fanless chassis, giving everyday wired devices a straightforward path into an organised business network. Move beyond basic plug-and-play switching with VLAN segmentation, traffic prioritisation, link aggregation and IPv4/IPv6 static routing. A browser interface, compact command line and SNMP give administrators several ways to configure and monitor the network, while dual firmware images and configuration files help make maintenance more controlled. Highlights Connectivity and Installation 16 dedicated Gigabit RJ45 ports plus 4 Gigabit RJ45/SFP combo ports. 40 Gbps switching capacity and up to 29.8 Mpps packet forwarding. Fanless metal chassis with an internal 100–240 V AC power supply. Network Control 802.1Q VLANs, eight QoS queues and IGMP/MLD multicast controls. STP, RSTP, MSTP and LACP support for planned redundant links. 802.1X authentication, ACLs and IP-MAC-port binding. Key Features Choose Copper or Fibre for Each Uplink The four combo ports let you select copper or compatible fibre for each uplink without changing the switch. Their shared design is important when planning capacity: each RJ45/SFP pair is one logical connection. The 16 dedicated copper ports remain available for workstations, printers and other wired devices, while the combo ports accommodate the media your upstream link needs. Separate Business Traffic with Purpose Create VLANs for staff, voice, surveillance and other network roles instead of placing every device in one broadcast domain. Auto Voice VLAN and Surveillance Mode support compatible deployments, while eight QoS queues let you prioritise time-sensitive traffic. These controls are useful when office applications, calls and video share a switch, provided the wider network is configured to carry the same policies. Build Resilience into the Topology STP, RSTP and MSTP help manage redundant paths and avoid switching loops. LACP can combine compatible links into an aggregated connection, increasing the capacity available across multiple traffic flows and supporting a more resilient design. Loopback detection and cable diagnostics help the administrator locate common faults; they complement a planned network rather than replacing sound configuration and monitoring. Control Access at the Network Edge Port-based 802.1X authentication works with a RADIUS service to control who connects. Access control lists, port security, DHCP screening and IP-MAC-port binding add further ways to restrict unwanted traffic. D-Link Safeguard Engine and storm controls help protect switch resources from flooding, giving the administrator a practical set of safeguards for a shared business network. Route Selected Traffic Between VLANs Layer 3 static routing allows communication between configured IP networks without sending every local exchange through an external router. The switch supports four IP interfaces, up to 124 IPv4 static routes and 50 IPv6 static routes. This suits straightforward inter-VLAN routing plans; internet access, firewall inspection and dynamic routing requirements still need the appropriate gateway and network design. Manage Quietly and Maintain with Confidence The fanless design suits offices and nearby equipment spaces where fan noise is undesirable. Configure the switch through its web interface, compact CLI or SNMP, and use D-Link Network Assistant for device discovery. Compatible current firmware also enables Nuclias Connect management. Dual images and configuration files provide maintenance options, while logs and port diagnostics help track changes and investigate faults. Summary For a growing office with mixed copper and fibre connections, the DGS-1210-20 combines flexible Gigabit connections with the VLAN, security and maintenance controls needed to run a more structured network. Its fanless design keeps installation practical, while shared copper/fibre uplinks provide a clear route into the wider infrastructure. Select compatible optics and configure the network policies to match your deployment. Frequently Asked Questions How Many Connections Can I Use at the Same Time?ExpandCollapse Each of the 4 combo ports offers a copper RJ45 socket and an SFP cage for the same logical port. Use one connection per pair, giving 20 simultaneous network ports in total. All copper connections support up to 1 Gbps; the SFP interfaces support compatible 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps modules. Does This Switch Have 10G Uplinks?ExpandCollapse No. The DGS-1210-20 uses Gigabit RJ45 ports and 100/1000 Mbps SFP interfaces. It does not provide 10G SFP+ or 2.5/5GbE copper ports. Choose an appropriate 10G-uplink model if your backbone needs more than 1 Gbps per link. Can It Power Access Points or Cameras?ExpandCollapse This is a non-PoE switch and does not supply power through its Ethernet ports. PoE-powered devices need a compatible injector or a separate PoE switch, or their own supported power supply. Can I Separate Traffic and Route Between VLANs?ExpandCollapse Yes. It supports 802.1Q VLANs, QoS and static IPv4/IPv6 routing. Up to four IP interfaces, 124 IPv4 static routes and 50 IPv6 static routes are specified. Configure access rules and a suitable gateway for the traffic and security policies you require. Can I Manage It with Nuclias Connect?ExpandCollapse Yes, with compatible current switch firmware and a suitable Nuclias Connect installation. Standalone web management, compact CLI and SNMP are also available. Nuclias Connect compatibility does not mean the switch includes a D-Lite cloud service or a hosted management subscription. Is It Fanless and How Is It Powered?ExpandCollapse Yes. The DGS-1210-20 is fanless and uses an internal 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz power supply. Keep its ventilation openings clear and use an installation location within the specified temperature range. Hardware warranty coverage is five years. Magbasa pa
