Overview
The VigorSwitch P2500 is a layer 2 managed gigabit PoE switch with 44 x 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports, 4 x Gigabit Ethernet combo ports, RJ45 + SFP and 2 x SFP ports for installation of optic fibre modules.
All the 44 Gigabit Ethernet ports of VigorSwitch P2500 are compatible with 802.3at and 802.3af standards, providing up to 30W per port. This is sufficient to supply power to network devices such as wireless access points, IP phones, and IP cameras, removing the need for power cables and adapters.
Designed for SMB business networks, the auto Voice VLAN and QoS feature improves the VoIP call quality on the network. Up to 16 Link Aggregation Groups can be set up with each of the group having up to 8 port members can be used to provide high bandwidth links across the network.
Other features include 802.1q tagged VLANs, Voice VLAN and Surveillance VLAN to identify traffic from an IP phone or an IP camera automatically, and GVRP. Network security features include Storm Control, DoS Attack Prevention, IP Source Guard, ARP inspection, DHCP Snooping as well as many others.
The VigorSwitch P2500 can be managed from the Central Switch Management feature of Vigor routers or through VigorACS 2 Central Management System.
PoE+ (400W) 28-Port Web Smart Managed Gigabit Switch
The VigorSwitch P1282 is a Web Smart Managed PoE+ Switch with 24 x Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ ports and 4 x SFP/GbE Combo ports for optic fibre modules or DAC cables.
Each of the 24 PoE/PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet ports supports the 802.3at and 802.3af PoE standards, providing up to 30W per port (with a total of 400 watts power budget). This provides power for devices such as wireless Access Points, IP phones, and IP cameras, without needing to install additional adapters.
The VigorSwitch P1282 integrates with many network functions of DrayTek routers, including QoS, Port Mirroring, VLAN network security, Spanning Tree Protocol, and SNMP. This switch is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy-efficient Ethernet protocol and can be configured from DrayTek routers that support Central Switch Management. The Voice VLAN feature automatically identifies VoIP traffic and assigns it to the designated VLAN, and provides the best possible call quality.
Key Features
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Deliver power and data over one ethernet cable, turn PoE devices on/off periodically with PoE Schedule.
IP Conflict Prevention
Improve network stability by avoiding IP conflicts caused by a misconfigured or malicious host. Learn more
PoE Device Check
Enable Ping Watchdog for all PoE devices. If they lose their network connection, automatically restart them with a power cycle.
Web-Based GUI
Easily manage and monitor the network through the web-based console with graphics showing ports and hardware status. See demo
Auto Surveillance & Voice VLAN
Recognise traffic from IP cameras and IP phones automatically and add CoS tag for QoS prioritisation.
Multiple Admin Accounts
Multiple Admin accounts with two levels of administrator privilege.
QoS (Quality of Service)
Improve the performance of critical traffic by prioritising it with CoS, DSCP, and IP Precedence tag.
Central Switch Management
ONVIF-Friendly
Recognise ONVIF devices, display surveillance topology, provide UI for video streaming and device maintenance. Learn more
Energy-Efficient Ethernet
Compliant with IEEE 802.3az to reduce power consumption.
ONVIF-Friendly
Recognise ONVIF devices in different VLANs, display surveillance topology, provide UI for video streaming and device maintenance
Centralised Hierarchical View
The VigorSwitch P1282 automatically detects ONVIF devices and displays the topology of connected IP cameras and NVRs.
Image Viewing
Images filmed by IP cameras can be viewed directly within the VigorSwitch P1282 web UI.
Device Management
Basic configuration/maintenance tasks for ONVIF devices such as remote reboot, factory reset and changing network settings can all be done remotely from the VigorSwitch P1282 web UI.
ONVIF Snapshot Alert
Locating Non-Responding IP Cameras Made Easy
Managing a network of IP cameras across different locations is difficult, as when any of the cameras stops functioning, there is no easy way to detect or revive it. To help with this problem, the VigorSwitch P1282 regularly pings ONVIF IP cameras and takes snapshots from them periodically. If one IP camera stops responding, an email alert is sent with the latest snapshot from the camera.
With PoE VigorSwitch models, the switch can also provide first aid by automatically power cycling the particular port to reboot the camera.
IP Conflict Detection & Prevention
Conflict Detection
The VigorSwitch constantly checks the network environment and notifies the administrator of any IP conflicts.
Conflict Prevention
For a more stable network, the VigorSwitch detects misconfigured or malicious IP hosts and blocks them before damages are done.
LAN Device Check
Ping Watchdog for LAN Devices
VigorSwitch keeps pinging on the LAN devices. Once a device stops responding, the PoE switch cycles a port or sends an email alert.
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.
