Key Features

PoE (Power over Ethernet)

Deliver power and data over one ethernet cable, turn on/off the PoE device periodically with PoE Schedule.

QoS (Quality of Service)

Improve the performance of critical traffic by prioritising it with CoS, DSCP, and IP Precedence tag.

Ping Device Check

Enable Ping check to selected devices to keep monitoring on their status. If ping timeout, power cycle (if PoE enabled) the port and/or send out mail alert.

10G SFP+

Provides 10G-capable fiber SFP+ ports for aggregation or uplinking to the core switches.

Auto Surveillance & Voice VLAN

Recognise traffic from IP cameras and IP phones automatically and add CoS tag for QoS prioritisation.

IPv6 Ready

VigorSwitch P2540xs supports IPv6 by offering MLD Snooping, IPv6 ACL, and IPv6 DNS Resolver.

ONVIF-Friendly

Recognise ONVIF devices, display surveillance topology, provide UI for video streaming and device maintenance. Learn more

Web-Based GUI

Easily manage and monitor the network through the web-based console with graphics showing ports and hardware status. See demo

Wire-Speed VLAN Routing

Improve overall network performance by using VigorSwitch PQ2121x to route the inter-VLAN traffic directly and offload the router.

Multiple Admin Accounts

Multiple Admin accounts with two levels of administrator privilege.

IP Conflict Prevention

Improve network stability by avoiding IP conflicts caused by a misconfigured or malicious host. Learn more

Central Switch Management

Set up VLANs easily from the router and get a centralised hierarchy view of the switches. Learn more

Access Control

VigorSwitch P2540xs supports ACL by IP/MAC and 802.1x port access control with RADIUS to filter unauthorized hosts.

Energy-Efficient Ethernet

Compliant with IEEE 802.3az to reduce power consumption.

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 P2540x 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.
