The DGS-1210ME Series features a full set of L2 multicast functions, including IGMP snooping, IGMP filtering, fast leave, and multicast traffic configuration for specific ports. With L2 multicast support, the DGS-1210ME Series is ready and capable of handling growing IPTV applications.

A user-friendly web interface gives administrators access to advanced management features such as DHCP auto-configuration, allowing central management of device configurations. The switches support Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), which advertises the device’s capabilities and identity to the local network, allowing administrators to better manage their network topology. Each port also supports cable diagnostics to troubleshoot cable length and functionality problems remotely.

Integrated bandwidth control allows network administrators to define the throughput levels for ingress and egress bandwidth. It provides a minimum granularity of 64 Kbps for ingress port and flow-based bandwidth control, and a minimum granularity of 64 Kbps for egress queue bandwidth. The DGS-1210ME Series also supports traffic control, which optimizes overall performance, while port mirroring helps administrators perform traffic diagnostics and track network performance.
