Command your network infrastructure with the D-Link DGS-F1210-26PS-E, a powerful 26-port Smart Managed Gigabit switch engineered to deliver enterprise-grade performance, comprehensive PoE+ power distribution, and advanced management capabilities for growing businesses and demanding network environments. This feature-rich switch combines the robust power delivery needed for modern deployments with the intelligent control features that IT professionals demand.

Exceptional Port Density and Flexibility

The DGS-F1210-26PS-E provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports plus 2 dedicated SFP fiber uplink ports, delivering the connectivity density required for medium to large network deployments. Whether you’re powering dozens of IP cameras, deploying comprehensive wireless coverage, connecting VoIP phone systems, or building a converged network infrastructure, this switch provides the port capacity and flexibility to handle complex, multi-device environments with ease.

Robust PoE+ Power Delivery

With 24 IEEE 802.3at/af compliant PoE+ ports each capable of delivering up to 30W, and a substantial 370W total power budget, the DGS-F1210-26PS-E can simultaneously power an extensive array of network devices. Support high-resolution PTZ cameras, enterprise-grade wireless access points, video conferencing systems, digital signage, building automation controllers, and other power-hungry equipment without compromise. The generous power budget ensures reliable operation even when running multiple high-wattage devices simultaneously.

Intelligent PoE Management

Take complete control over power distribution with advanced PoE management features. Configure power priority levels to ensure critical devices always receive power first, set per-port power limits to prevent overconsumption, schedule automatic power cycling for routine maintenance, and monitor real-time power usage across all ports. The time-based PoE scheduling feature enables automated power management, reducing energy costs by powering down devices during off-hours while ensuring they’re operational when needed.

Enterprise-Grade Layer 2+ Management

Experience sophisticated network control through comprehensive Layer 2+ management capabilities accessible via an intuitive web-based interface. Configure up to 4K VLANs for granular network segmentation, implement advanced Quality of Service (QoS) with eight priority queues for optimal traffic management, set up link aggregation for increased bandwidth and redundancy, and deploy multicast filtering for efficient video streaming. The DGS-F1210-26PS-E delivers managed switch functionality without the complexity and cost of full Layer 3 solutions.

Advanced Security Framework

Protect your network infrastructure with a comprehensive security suite including IEEE 802.1X port-based network access control with RADIUS authentication, sophisticated Access Control Lists (ACLs) for traffic filtering, MAC address binding to prevent unauthorized access, DHCP snooping to protect against rogue DHCP servers, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) to defend against ARP spoofing attacks, and IP Source Guard for additional protection. These enterprise-class security features ensure your network remains protected against both internal and external threats.

Comprehensive VLAN Capabilities

Segment your network with flexible VLAN support including port-based VLANs, IEEE 802.1Q tag-based VLANs, voice VLANs for prioritized VoIP traffic, and private VLANs for enhanced isolation. Support for up to 4K VLANs enables sophisticated network architectures that separate guest access from corporate resources, isolate surveillance traffic from business data, create department-specific segments, and implement complex multi-tenant environments—all from a single switch.

Sophisticated Traffic Management

Optimize network performance with advanced QoS features including eight priority queues, weighted round-robin (WRR) and strict priority scheduling, bandwidth control per port, and storm control to prevent broadcast floods. IEEE 802.1p CoS and DSCP-based QoS ensure latency-sensitive applications like VoIP calls, video conferences, and real-time data receive priority treatment, maintaining consistent performance even during peak network usage.

High-Availability Features

Build resilient network infrastructures with IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) to prevent network loops and provide redundant paths. Link aggregation control protocol (LACP) enables combining multiple ports for increased bandwidth and automatic failover, ensuring continuous network operation even if individual links fail.

Comprehensive Network Monitoring

Maintain complete visibility into network operations with extensive monitoring capabilities. Port mirroring enables non-intrusive traffic analysis for security monitoring and troubleshooting, syslog support provides centralized logging for compliance and auditing, RMON (Remote Monitoring) delivers detailed statistics and historical data, and LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) automatically discovers and maps connected devices. Cable diagnostics help quickly identify physical layer issues, minimizing downtime.

Fiber Uplink Connectivity

Two SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) ports provide flexible fiber optic uplink options for connecting to core switches, extending networks across buildings or campuses, and creating high-speed backbone connections. Support for both multi-mode and single-mode SFP transceivers enables connectivity over distances from hundreds of meters to tens of kilometers, depending on the fiber type and transceiver selected.

Multiple Management Interfaces

Choose your preferred management method to match your workflow and expertise level. The intuitive web-based GUI provides point-and-click configuration perfect for day-to-day management, the Command Line Interface (CLI) via Telnet or SSH enables scripted automation and advanced configuration, SNMP v1/v2c/v3 integration allows seamless incorporation into enterprise network management systems, and D-Link’s Network Assistant utility simplifies initial discovery and setup across multiple switches.

Energy Efficiency and Silent Operation

IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet technology intelligently reduces power consumption during periods of low activity and adjusts output based on cable length, lowering operational costs while maintaining full performance. Despite the high power budget and port density, the efficient design with intelligent fan control maintains optimal operating temperatures while minimizing acoustic noise—suitable for deployment in office environments where noise levels matter.

Rack-Mount Ready Design

The sturdy 1U rack-mountable metal chassis fits standard 19-inch equipment racks, making it perfect for server room, wiring closet, or data center deployments. The professional form factor includes mounting hardware and cable management features for clean, organized installations that meet professional standards.
