Key Features & Benefits

High Speed 10 Gigabit SFP+ Uplinks
6 SFP+ ports allow your network to utilise 10Gbps ports to link Switches, Servers and Networked Storage with more bandwidth. This helps you reduce the risk of bottlenecks occurring in your network.
Benefits: Easily increase network throughput and meet demanding bandwidth requirements.

Advanced Layer 2+ Routing Features
Expand your network with support for Layer 3 features such as Static Routes and VLAN Routing, to connect separate networks through the VigorSwitch.
Benefits: Provides a fast and secure bridge between networks

Manage Centrally or Stand-Alone
Configure and monitor the switch through the VigorACS cloud management platform, DrayTek's Central Switch Management for Vigor routers, or directly via the device's Web Interface.

Benefits: Saves time and money. Easily provision, monitor and manage remote sites without on-site IT or dedicated staff.

Auto Surveillance & Voice VLAN
Recognise business-critical traffic from IP cameras and IP phones automatically and use CoS tag for QoS prioritization.
Benefits: Improved scalability and network efficiency.

Great Security Features
Protect your network against unauthorised access and network problems with 802.1X port authentication, IP Conflict Prevention, DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Access Control List.
Benefits: Secure & control access to your network.

ONVIF IP Camera Surveillance Management
Make IP camera management easier with detection and management of ONVIF cameras. View a topology of all cameras connected. Use PoE Device Check and Camera Snapshot Email Alerts to rapidly detect & troubleshoot problems
Benefits: Easily configure, deploy & manage connected IP Cameras.
