1 Product Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of D-Link DXS-1210 Series Switch.
D-Link's latest generation L2 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch series blends plug-and-play simplicity with
exceptional value and reliability for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networking. All models are
housed in a new style rack-mount metal case with easy-to-view front panel diagnostic LEDs, and provide
advance features including network security, traffic segmentation, QoS and versatile management.
Flexible Port Configurations: The DXS-1210 Series is D-Link’s latest 10G switch which provides 8-port,
10-port 10GBASE-T and 12-port SFP+ models. The DXS-1210 Series switches, have the advantage of using
intuitive feature-rich software and utilizing a neat and simplified Web GUI allowing users to access and
configure the Switch from everywhere via a web browser. 10GBASE-T provides the requisite backward
compatibility that allows end users to transparently upgrade from 10/100/1000Mbps to 10 Gbps, using Cat 6,
6A, 7 unshielded and shielded twisted-pair cables. 10G SFP+ has the advantage of lower power
consumption, longer cable distance, and better latency performance. Direct Attach Cables (DACs) can be
used to provide a cost effective way of connecting switches at 10 Gbps that are in close proximity to each
other.
D-Link Green Technology: D-Link Green devices aim to provide eco-friendly alternatives without
compromising performance. D-Link Green Technology includes a number of innovations to reduce energy
consumption on DXS-1210 series switches, such as reducing power when a port does not have a device
attached, or adjusting the power usage according to the length of Ethernet cable connected to it.
Extensive Layer 2 Features: Implemented as complete L2 devices, these switches include functions such
as IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree, ERPS, 802.3ad LACP, SNTP, LLDP and Loopback
Detection to enhance performance and network reliability.
Extensive Layer 3 Features: These switches include functions such as IP interfaces, static routes, IPv6
static routes, and ARP to enhance performance and network resiliency.
QoS: The switches support bandwidth control and 802.1p priority queues, enabling users to run bandwidth-
sensitive applications such as voice and video on the network. These functions allow the switches to work
seamlessly with VLANs, 802.1p traffic and IPv6 Traffic Class priority to prioritize traffic on the network.
Network Security: D-Link’s innovative Safeguard Engine function protects the switches against traffic
flooding caused by virus attacks. Additional features such as Storm Control can help to keep the network
from being overwhelmed by abnormal traffic. Port Security is another simple but useful authentication
method to maintain the network device integrity. Also supports DHCP Server Screening, SSL and IP-MAC-
Port Binding features.
Versatile Management: The new generation of D-Link 10 Gigabit Ethernet Switches provide growing
businesses with a simple and easy management of their network, using a web-based management interface
that allows administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. Adding a console port with
RJ-45 for command line interface management. The Switch can be managed, out-of-band, by using the
console port on the front panel of the Switch. Alternatively, the Switch can also be managed, in-band, by
using a Telnet connection to any of the LAN ports on the Switch. And the command line interface provides
complete access to all switch management features.
Users can also access the switch via Telnet. Some basic tasks can be performed such as changing the
Switch IP address, resetting the settings to factory defaults, setting the administrator password, rebooting the
Switch, or upgrading the Switch firmware by using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
In addition, users can utilize the SNMP MIB (Management Information Base) to poll the switches for
information about the status, or send out traps of abnormal events. SNMP support allows users to integrate
the switches with other third-party devices for management in an SNMP-enabled environment. D-Link Smart
Managed Switches provides easy-to-use graphic interface and facilitates the operation efficiency.

Management > SNMP > SNMP Global Settings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) protocol designed
specifically for managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP enables network management stations to
read and modify the settings of gateways, routers, switches, and other network devices. Use SNMP to
configure system features for proper operation, monitor performance and detect potential problems on the
Switch or your local network.
Managed devices that support SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs locally on the
device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage
the device. These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard
presentation of the information controlled by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both the format of the
MIB specifications and the protocol used to access this information over the network.
The default SNMP global state is disabled. Select Enable and then select Trap Settings. Click Apply to
enable the SNMP function.

L2 Features > STP > STP Global Settings
The Switch implements three versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
as defined by IEEE 802.1w, a version compatible with the IEEE 802.1D STP and Multiple Spanning Tree
Protocol (MSTP), as defined by IEEE802.1. RSTP can operate with legacy equipment implementing IEEE
802.1D, however the advantages of using RSTP will be lost.
The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) evolved from the 802.1D STP standard and was developed in
order to overcome some of the limitations of STP that impede the function of some recent switching
innovations. The basic function and much of the terminology is the same and most of the settings configured

D-Link DXS-1210 Series User Manual
46
for STP are also used for RSTP. This section introduces some new Spanning Tree concepts and illustrates
the main differences between the two protocols.
The IEEE 802.1 Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP) provides various load balancing techniques by allowing
multiple VLANs to be mapped to a single spanning tree instance, providing multiple pathways across the
network. For example, while port A is blocked in one STP instance, the same port can be placed in the
Forwarding state in another STP instance.
By default, Rapid Spanning Tree is disabled. If enabled, the Switch will listen for Bridge Protocol Data Unit
(BPDU) packets and its accompanying Hello packet. The BPDU packets are sent even if a BPDU packet is
not received. Therefore, each link between bridges is sensitive to the status of the link. Ultimately this
difference results in faster detection of failed links, and therefore faster topology adjustment.
By default Multiple Spanning Tree is enabled. It will tag BPDU packets to receiving devices and distinguish
spanning tree instances, spanning tree regions and the VLANs associated with them.
After enabling STP, configure the STP Global Settings (shown below).

STP Configuration:
Bridge Max Age (6-40): Enter the bridge’s maximum age value here. This value must be between 6 and 40
seconds. By default, this value is 20 seconds. The maximum age value may be set to ensure that old
information does not endlessly circulate throughout the network. Set by the root bridge, this value ensures
that the Switch has spanning tree configuration consistent with other devices on the LAN.
Bridge Forward Time (4-30): Enter the bridge’s forwarding time value. This value must be between 4 and
30 seconds. By default, this value is 15 seconds. Any port on the Switch spends this time in the listening
state while moving from the blocking state to the forwarding state.
Max Hops (1-40): Enter the maximum number of hops that are allowed. This value must be between 1 and
40 hops. By default, this value is 20 hops. This value is used to set the number of hops between devices in a
spanning tree region before the BPDU packet sent by the Switch will is discarded. Each switch on the hop
count will reduce the hop count by one until the value reaches zero. The Switch will then discard the BDPU
packet and the information held for the port will age out.
Bridge Hello Time (0-2): After selecting RSTP/STP as the STP Mode, this parameter will be available.
Enter the bridge’s hello time value here. This value must be between 1 and 2 seconds. By default, this value
is 2 seconds. This is the interval between two transmissions of BPDU packets sent by the Root Bridge to all
switches. This field will only appear when STP or RSTP is selected for the STP Version. For MSTP, the Hello
Time must be set on a port by port basis.
TX Hop Count (1-10): Enter the transmit hold count value. This value must be between 1 and 10. The
default value is 6. This value is used to set the maximum number of Hello packets transmitted per interval.
Click the Apply button to save your settings.
L2 Features > STP > STP Port Settings
In addition to setting spanning tree parameters for use on the switch level, the Switch allows for the
configuration of STP on a port level Groups of ports can be configured in a port group, each of which can
have its own spanning tree instance and configuration settings.
Port level spanning tree works in the same way as switch level spanning tree, but the root bridge is replaced
with a root port. A root port in the group, which is elected based on port priority and port cost, and is the
connection to the network for the group. Redundant links will be blocked, just as redundant links are blocked
on the switch level.
The STP on the switch level blocks redundant links between switches (and similar network devices). The
port level STP will block redundant links within an STP group.

From Port/To Port: Enter a consecutive group of ports to be configured starting with the selected port.
Cost: This is the STP port cost, which is used to calculate the spanning tree topology. tf represents the
relative interface bandwidth and is the desirability of the link. The port cost can be set automatically or set
manually as a metric value. The default value is 0 (auto).
0 (auto): Setting 0 for the external cost will automatically set the speed for forwarding packets to the
specified port(s) in the list for optimal efficiency. Default port cost: 100Mbps port = 200000. Gigabit
port = 20000.
Value 1-200000000: Define a value between 1 and 200000000 to determine the external cost. The
lower the number, the greater the probability the port will be chosen to forward packets.
State: Select to enable or disable port based STP. It will be selectable after STP is enabled globally on the
Switch.
Guard Root: Select to enable or disable the guard root function.
Link Type: Select the link type option. The options to choose from are Auto, P2P, and Shared. A full-duplex
port is considered to have a point-to-point (P2P) connection. A half-duplex port is considered to have a
Shared connection. The port cannot rapidly transition to the forwarding state if the link type is set to Shared.
By default this option is Auto.
Port Fast: Select the port fast option. The options are Network, Disabled, and Edge. In the Network mode
the port will remain in the non-port, fast state for three seconds. If no BPDUs are received the port will be put
into the forwarding state. If the port receives a BPDU, it will change back to the non-port fast state. This is
the default port fast mode. In the Disabled mode, the port will always be in the non-port fast state. It will wait
for the forward-time delay to change to the forwarding state. In the Edge mode, the port will directly change
to the forwarding state without waiting for the forward-time delay. If the interface receives a BPDU, its
operation state changes to the non-port fast state.
TCN Filter: Select to enable or disable the TCN filter option. Enabling TCN filtering on a port is useful for
connecting to an external network, which may not be under full control of the administrator. When a port is
set to the TCN filter mode, the topology change event received by the port will be ignored. By default, this
option is disabled.
BPDU Forward: Bridges use Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) in the operation of spanning tree, BPDU.
Forwarding is useful when a bridge interconnects two regions, with each region requiring a separate
spanning tree. BPDU filtering functions only when STP is disabled either globally or on a single interface.
The possible field values are:
Disabled: BPDU filtering is enabled on the port.
Enabled: BPDU forwarding is enabled on the port (STP must be disabled).
Priority: Select the priority of each port. Selectable range is from 0 to 240, and the default setting is 128.
The lower the number, the greater the probability the port will be chosen as a root port.

Hello Time: The interval between two transmissions of BPDU packets sent by the Root Bridge to indicate to
all other switches that it is indeed the Root Bridge. The default value is 2.

L2 Features > STP > MST Configuration Identification
Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP) provides various load balancing scenarios by allowing multiple VLANs to be
mapped to a single spanning tree instance, providing multiple pathways across the network. For example,
while port A is blocked in one STP instance, the same port can be placed in the Forwarding state in another
STP instance.
The MST Configuration Identification page is for defining global MSTP settings, including region names,
MSTP revision level.

L2 Features > ERPS(G.8032) > ERPS
ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) is the first industry standard (ITU-T G.8032) for Ethernet ring
protection switching. It is achieved by integrating mature Ethernet Operations, Administration, and
Maintenance (OAM)* functions and a simple automatic protection switching (APS) protocol for Ethernet ring
networks. ERPS provides sub-50ms failover for Ethernet traffic in a ring topology. It ensures that there are no
loops formed at the Ethernet layer.
One link within a ring, the ring Protection Link (RPL), will be blocked to avoid a Layer 2 loop. When there is a
failure, protection switching blocks the failed link and unblocks the RPL. When the failure clears, protection
switching blocks the RPL again and unblocks the link on which the failure is cleared.
The ERPS page allows you to configure the ERPS instance and profile configuration of the Switch.

Both: Specify the control is exerted over both incoming and outgoing traffic through the controlled
port selected in the first field.
In: Disables the support in the present firmware release.
Port Control: This allows user to control the port authorization state.
Select ForceAuthorized to disable 802.1X and cause the port to transition to the authorized state
without any authentication exchange required. This means the port transmits and receives normal
traffic without 802.1X-based authentication of the client.
If ForceUnauthorized is selected, the port will remain in the unauthorized state, ignoring all
attempts by the client to authenticate. The Switch cannot provide authentication services to the client
through the interface.
If Auto is selected, it will enable 802.1X and cause the port to begin in the unauthorized state,
allowing only EAPOL frames to be sent and received through the port. The authentication process
begins when the link state, transitions from down to up, or when an EAPOL-start frame is received.
The Switch then requests the identity of the client and begins relaying authentication messages
between the client and the authentication server. The default setting is Auto.
Forward PDU: Select to enable or disable the forward PDU option here.
MaxReq(1-10): This parameter specifies the maximum number of times that the switch retransmits an EAP
request (md5-challenge) to the client before it times out the authentication session. Default is 2 times.
PAE Authenticator: Select to enable or disable the Port Access Entity (PAE) authenticator option here. This
option configures a specific port as an IEEE 802.1X PAE authenticator.
ServerTimeout(1-65535): Sets the amount of time the switch waits for a response from the client before
resending the response to the authentication server. The default is 30 seconds.
SuppTimeout(1-65535): This value determines timeout conditions in the exchanges between the
authenticator and the client. The default is 30 seconds.
TX Peiord(1-65535): This sets the TxPeriod of time for the authenticator PAE state machine. This value
determines the period of an EAP Request/Identity packet transmitted to the client. The default is 30 seconds.

Dead Time: Enter the dead time value here. This value must be between 1 and 1440 minutes. By default,
this value is 0 minutes. When this option is 0, the unresponsive server will not be marked as dead. This
setting can be used to improve the authentication processing time by setting the dead time to skip the
unresponsive server host entries. When the system performs authentication with the authentication server, it
attempts one server at a time. If the attempted server does not respond, the system will attempt the next
server. When the system finds a server does not respond, it will mark the server as down, start a dead time
timer, and skip them in authentication of the following requests until expiration of the dead time.

General Settings:
Deny MAC–Move: Select to enable or disable the Deny MAC-Move feature here. This option controls
whether authenticated hosts can move between switch ports and whether a host configured for multi-
authenticate mode can move to another port.
If a station is allowed to move, it may either need to be re-authenticated or can move without re-
authentication, depending on the configuration of the port it is moving to. If the new port has the same
authentication configuration as the original port, then re-authentication is not required. If the port has different
authentication configuration, then re-authentication is needed.
If this feature is disabled and an authenticated host moves to another port, then this is treated as a violation
error.
Authorization State: Select to enable or disable the Authorized State. This is used to enable or disable the
acceptance of an authorized configuration and apply this to the host or port. When authorization state is

authentication, if the re-authentication fails or the authenticated user logs off, the port will be blocked for a
specified period. The port restores the processing of EAPOL packets after the specified period. If the port is
operated in the multi-authenticated mode, then each host needs to be authenticated individually to access
the port. A host is represented by its MAC address and is only hosts that can be authenticated are allowed
network access.
