Advanced Layer 2+ Features
DHCP Server & VLAN Routing
Improving LAN Network Sustainability and Efficiency, with or without a Router
In a large LAN network, much traffic doesn’t go to Internet, but to the servers in LAN. For example, IP cameras store videos to NVR, IP phones register to PBX, clients access to file server, etc.
L2+ switch with DHCP server and VLAN routing functionalities, as the device receiving traffic before the router, is ideal to share the loading of your router and to help your LAN network to work continuously even when the router is offline.
As a DHCP server, VigorSwitch assigns dynamic IP addresses for up to 8 VLANs. With VLAN routing, VigorSwitch supports up to 512 routes.
Bind IP Address to MAC Address
Reserve an IP Address for an Important Device
As a DHCP Server, the Layer 2+ VigorSwitch P2542xh can reserve IP addresses for important devices that are frequently accessed.
ONVIF-Friendly
Recognise ONVIF devices in different VLANs, display surveillance topology, provide UI for video streaming and device maintenance
Centralised Hierarchical View
VigorSwitch automatically detects ONVIF devices, and displays the topology of connecting IP cameras and NVRs.
Image Viewing
Images filmed by IP cameras can be viewed directly on VigorSwitch.
Device Management
Support ONVIF devices basic configuration/maintenance remotely via VigorSwitch. Such as remote reboot, factory reset, network settings, etc.
ONVIF Snapshot Alert
Locating Non-Responding IP Cameras Made Easy
It’s already difficult to manage several IP cameras across different locations and customers, not to mention to keep monitoring on which camera stops functioning.
To help on this task, VigorSwitch keeps pinging on the ONVIF IP cameras and taking snapshots from them periodically, and sends out an email alert with the latest snapshot when a camera not responding.
With PoE models, VigorSwitch can also provide first aid to automatically power cycle the particular port to reboot the camera.
IP Conflict Detection & Prevention
Conflict Detection
The VigorSwitch continuously monitors the network environment and alerts the administrator of any IP address conflicts
Conflict Prevention
To enhance network stability, the VigorSwitch identifies misconfigured or malicious IP hosts and blocks them before any damage occurs.
Device Check
Ping Check for LAN Devices
A VigorSwitch can continuously ping the LAN devices, and when the device stops responding to the ping, it will instigate a PoE cycle to the associated port (PoE model only) and/or send an email alert to the administrator.
LAN Management
An all-in-one management platform for Vigor devices on the LAN side.
Automatic Device Discovery
Connect a Vigor Switch or AP to the LAN side of the Vigor Router, and the router will auto-discover the device to allow it to be managed.
Provisioning
Basic settings may be done on the Vigor Router, and then provisioned to the managed Vigor Switches or APs.
Monitoring
The Vigor Router provides a centralized view of managed devices, so you can monitor and check the status of Vigor Switches or APs connected.
System Maintenance
Perform factory resets, save/restore configuration backups, or trigger reboots remotely from the Vigor Router’s interface. There is no need to log in to each device’s management page.
Key Features
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Deliver power and data over one ethernet cable, turn on/off the PoE device periodically with PoE Schedule.
10G SFP+
Provides 10G-capable fibre SFP+ ports for aggregation or uplinking to the core switches.
ONVIF-Friendly
Recognise ONVIF devices, display surveillance topology, provide UI for video streaming and device maintenance. Learn more
Wire-Speed VLAN Routing
Improve overall network performance by using VigorSwitch P2542xh to route the inter-VLAN traffic directly and offload the router.
IPv6 Ready
VigorSwitch P2542xh supports IPv6 by offering MLD Snooping, IPv6 ACL, and IPv6 DNS Resolver.
Auto Surveillance & Voice VLAN
Recognize traffic from IP cameras and IP phones automatically and add CoS tag for QoS prioritization.
Web-Based GUI
Easily manage and monitor the network through the web-based console with graphics showing ports and hardware status. See demo.
IP Conflict Prevention
Improve network stability by avoiding IP conflicts caused by a misconfigured or malicious host. Learn More
Multiple Admin Accounts
Multiple Admin accounts with two levels of administrator privilege.
Access Control
VigorSwitch P2542xh supports ACL by IP/MAC and 802.1x port access control with RADIUS to filter unauthorized hosts.
Central Switch Management
Set up VLANs easily from the router and get a centralised hierarchy view of the switches. Learn more
QoS (Quality of Service)
Improve the performance of critical traffic by prioritizing the traffic with CoS, DSCP, and IP Precedence tag.
Energy-Efficient Ethernet
Compliant with IEEE 802.3az to reduce power consumption.
LLDP-MED
Automatically detects VoIP devices, simplifies VLAN assignment, and prioritizes voice traffic for smoother VoIP deployment.
