The D-Link Web Smart Gigabit Switch (DGS-1216T) blends
plug-&-play simplicity with exceptional performance and
reliability to create a cost-effective solution for bandwidth-
starved workgroups and departments. The DGS-1216T
provides a solution for any size business with any size
need. It supports 2 Combo ber SFP uplinks for uplinking
to servers, storage, or other switching devices providing
superior performance with exceptional value. The DGS-
1216T delivers a high performance feature set sufcient to
monitor and secure a SMB network efciently.
Advanced Management Features
The Web Smart DGS-1216T supports SNMP v1. SNMP is a
useful tool in managing and controlling SNMP supported
network devices. SNMP enables the Web Smart DGS-
1216T to be polled to provide valuable information about
the status of the unit and send traps on abnormal events.
This sharing of vital management information saves time
and money.
The DGS-1216T also supports Spanning Tree, provides
protection from unintentional cabling loops forming within
a network infrastructure. 802.1D Spanning tree detects
and breaks these loops ensuring network uptime.
Advanced Security
The DGS-1216T provides a robust set of security features
normally found only in fully managed switching solutions. It
is equipped with the D-Link Safeguard Engine to protect the
CPU from malicious attack. When frames enter the switch,
the D-Link Safeguard Engine detects and blocks broadcast,
multicast, and unicast ooding which can overload a CPU and
bring network trafc to a halt. In addition, the DGS-1216T also
provides support for secure encrypted 802.1x port based user
authentication, broadcast storm control, and up to 256 static
MAC address entries.
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Tagging
A VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a collection of computers that
are grouped together. VLANs allow the network to be
segmented into groups (Departmental, Hierarchical,
and Security Groups). 802.1Q is a standard that places
a “tag” in a frame identifying which VLAN it belongs to.
The advantage of this is that all 802.1Q compliant devices
can work seamlessly together to manage VLAN trafc.
802.1p Priority Tagging
Like 802.1Q VLAN tagging, 802.1p places a tag in a frame to
indicate the priority of the frame. This differs from port-based
QoS in that, in port based QoS, all trafc entering a specic
port is prioritized the same way with the same value. In 802.1p,
a port can receive frames with varying priority tags and
classify them based on these tags. For example, a VoIP phone
that supports 802.1p can assign a priority to its VoIP trafc.
When it enters the switch, the switch can then prioritize it so
that voice trafc is always clear and jitter-free.
Link Aggregation
The DGS-1216T supports static link aggregation. Link
aggregation provides a means of “trunking” multiple
ports together to function as a single large bandwidth
channel. When a high-bandwidth channel is needed to
uplink to another switch, link aggregation makes this
process simple and hassle-free.
Jumbo Frame Support
Jumbo Frame support is designed to improve network
throughput and signicantly reduce the CPU utilization
of large le transfers (such as multimedia les or large
data les) by enabling more efcient larger payloads per
packet. The DGS-1216T supports Jumbo Frames up to
10KB in size.
Web Management Utility
The DGS-1216T includes the D-Link Web Smart Management
Utility. This utility provides a valuable tool in managing,
planning, and troubleshooting network congurations.
