VigorSwitch G2280X 24-Port Gb + 4 Port 10Gb/s Switch

The DrayTek VigorSwitch G2280x has 4 dedicated SFP+ ports for uplinks, each operating at up to 10 Gigabits per second. The faster 10 Gigabit uplink capability allows you to make high bandwidth links to Network Attached Storage, Servers and other switches, to help reduce the risk of bottlenecks occurring within your network.

The SFP+ ports provide compatibility with your choice of SFP / SFP+ modules (not included) and therefore the most appropriate medium for your application.

Connect a passive Direct Attach SFP+ cable such as the DrayTek DAC-CX10-01M to the SFP+ module port of 1Gbps/10Gbps capable Network Attached Storage, Servers and Switches, for a cost effective, up to 10Gbps network link.

A DrayTek VigorSwitch provides connectivity for multiple network segments with 802.1Q VLAN tags, which separate networks at Layer 2 (MAC level). In a typical network that uses Layer 2 VLAN tags, the router provides the routing between VLANs, which can limit throughput between VLANs to the router's Firewall throughput, instead of the 1Gbps link speed.

The VigorSwitch G2280x adds the Layer 3 features VLAN Routing and Static Route to allow the switch to provide routing between VLANs at high speed. The VigorSwitch's Access Control List allows for full control of what traffic routes between networks.

Routing beyond the VigorSwitch G2280x, to the Internet and across VPNs is possible with Static Routes. Up to 512 static routes can be configured on the switch.

The VigorSwitch G2280x is passively cooled for quiet operation.

Hardware Monitoring ensures safe and reliable operation with remote status information & alerts. Track and graph switch temperature and voltage status. View this information locally through the web interface or remotely through VigorACS central management.

This allows the switch to notify you if the switch's temperature exceeds its operating limit. For instance sending an email alert if the switch overheats for any reason.

Prioritise latency-sensitive applications on your network with Quality of Service (802.1p and DSCP) support.

Auto Voice VLAN allows the switch to automatically assign VoIP devices to a separate VLAN and prioritise their traffic.

Control throughput per-port with Rate Limiting and application specific Traffic Shaping.

Stay in control of what's connected to your network with Port Security and 802.1X & MAC authentication, to prevent connection of unauthorised equipment.

Protect against network issues arising from connection of unwanted devices with DHCP Snooping and IP Source Guard.

Control port access for every port on your network with the VigorSwitch Access Control List - to specifically allow or deny specified traffic types moving between ports, just like a Firewall.

The VigorSwitch G2280x is able to discover and manage ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) compatible IP cameras and NVR systems, allowing for easy discovery and management of your IP cameras on the network.

Simply connect ONVIF capable devices to the VigorSwitch G2280x, then Discover devices, the VigorSwitch determines the network topology of connected cameras & NVR systems. The switch can aid in the maintenance of an IP camera network, with port throughput overusage notifications and the Device Ping Check, to notify if connected IP cameras stop responding.

Through the VigorSwitch web interface, you can view the video feed of discovered and authenticated IP cameras, check firmware and device information, and modify the IP address settings of connected ONVIF devices.

The DrayTek VigorSwitch G2280x can operate in standalone mode and be managed through its web interface or, if you need to manage and monitor the switch remotely, or have several DrayTek VigorSwitches to administer, you can centrally manage and monitor them either with:

1. A DrayTek router which supports switch management
   (connected directly to the switch)
   
   and / or
   
   
2. DrayTek's VigorACS management platform
   

The VigorSwitch G2280x supports Energy Efficient Ethernet, to lower the overall power usage of the switch when ports are idle or disconnected.

The IEEE 802.3az standard allows individual Ethernet links to enter a low power state, when not transmitting or not plugged in, drawing less energy than if the ports were to run at full speed at all times.
