Video: VigorConnect Introduction
VigorConnect is a TR-069-based management system which allows network administrators to monitor, manage and configure up to 100 DrayTek Vigor Access Points or VigorSwitches on a local area network.
It’s suitable for businesses with multiple Vigor APs and/or VigorSwitches located within a building on the same LAN. It is free, and great for smaller networks that don’t require the advanced functionality of a central management system such as VigorACS.
Key Features
Discovery
Automatically discover up to 100 VigorAPs and VigorSwitches in the network.
Provisioning
Setup for wireless in minutes by pushing configuration data to one or more VigorAPs or VigorSwitches on the network; setup the VLAN or PoE for selected VigorSwitches.
Monitoring
Get notified when an VigorAP or VigorSwitch loses connection; check if there’s any rogue AP/Switch in the network.
Reporting
Get network data on the Vigor APs and VigorSwitches, Clients, CPU usage, etc. over specified periods.
Scheduled Maintenance
Schedule firmware upgrades or backups / restorations for VigorAPs and VigorSwitches at specific time.
VigorConnect AP/Switch Management Features
Dashboard View
Device Overview
Dashboard view provides a summary of managed devices including device name and model, uptime, firmware version and number of active connections in managed VigorAPs and VigorSwitches which are shown on the graph.
Access Point Dashboard
The Access Point Dashboard view provides comprehensive details of device status, such as AP online/offline status, SSIDs, channels and clients.
VigorSwitch Dashboard
The dashboard for VigorSwitch devices displays comprehensive details of each switch status, including a graphical display of the VigorSwitch front panel showing port usage status. Other details displayed are firmware version, system uptime, CPU load, Memory usage and cache, connection status and alerts. PoE power load is also displayed the PoE VigorSwitch devices.
Device Discovery
Automatically discover DrayTek Vigor Access Points and VigorSwitch devices on the LAN, and auto-configure TR-069 settings.
Network Overview
Network-based management. Group devices to provision based on network assignment.
Provisioning
Vigor Access Points
Upload a preconfigured AP profile to selected VigorAPs in the network to quickly set up the wireless network within a few minutes.
VigorSwitch Devices
VLAN Settings
VLAN Mode, PVID Tagged VLAN and Untagged VLAN can be configured for selected ports. Alternatively, this can be configured using the Graphic View.
PoE Settings
VigorSwitch PoE settings for each port can be manually adjusted for priority and power limit.
Monitoring Traffic with Syslog and sFlow
VigorConnect now supports syslog, allowing admins to view network activity using the DrayTek syslog utility.
sFlow is a standard protocol that allows network administrators to monitor traffic flow by sampling the packets (only works with VigorSwitch 2280x and VigorSwitch 2540x).
