  • 24 Fast Ethernet ports connect workstations directly
  • 2 Gigabit BASE-T ports deliver 1000 Mbps uplinks
  • 2 combo ports accept copper or SFP fibre modules
  • Auto Voice and Surveillance VLANs prioritise critical traffic
  • Web GUI and D-Link Network Assistant simplify daily management

28-Port Web Smart Switch

The D-Link DES-1210-28 is a 28-port Fast Ethernet Web Smart switch designed for small to medium business networks needing managed Layer 2 features. It provides twenty-four 10/100BASE-TX ports, two 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and two combo 10/100/1000BASE-T or SFP ports for flexible uplinks. The switch supports VLAN, QoS, link aggregation and security features such as ACL and 802.1X authentication. Management is available through a multilingual web GUI, SNMP, RMON or a simplified CLI via Telnet.

Compatibility Check

Verify that your network cabling supports the required 10/100 or 10/100/1000 speeds for the ports you intend to use. Ensure your existing infrastructure can accommodate the SFP transceivers if you plan to use the combo ports for fibre uplinks. Confirm that your management station can reach the switch via IP for web GUI, SNMP or Telnet access. The switch operates on standard AC power with the supplied cord.

Upgrade Path

This switch replaces unmanaged Fast Ethernet hubs or basic switches that lack VLAN segmentation, traffic prioritisation or security controls. The jump is worth it when you need to separate voice, surveillance and data traffic using Auto Voice VLAN and Auto Surveillance VLAN. It also adds Loopback Detection and Cable Diagnostics for easier troubleshooting. Buyers who require full Gigabit connectivity on every port or Layer 3 routing features should consider a different product class.

Questions about this item

What ports come on the DES-1210-28 and do I need to buy SFP modules separately?

The switch includes twenty-four 10/100BASE-TX ports, two 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and two combo ports that accept either copper or SFP fibre modules; SFP modules are not included and must be purchased separately if you need fibre links.

Should I use the 10/100 ports or the Gigabit ports for my servers?

Connect servers to the two 10/100/1000BASE-T ports or the two combo ports running at 1000 Mbps full duplex (2000 Mbps aggregate) for the highest throughput; the twenty-four 10/100 ports are intended for standard Fast Ethernet devices.

What does the 2000 Mbps full-duplex figure mean in daily use?

Each Gigabit port can send and receive simultaneously at 1000 Mbps, giving a 2000 Mbps bidirectional pipe that reduces transfer loss when uplinking to servers or core switches.
