RJ45/SFP Uplink Ports Uplink to Fibre or direct-attach to additional switches with four (4) Gigabit RJ45/SFP Combo Ports. Power over Ethernet (Po E) The Vigor Switch P1282 is a 24-port Po E (Power over Ethernet) switch, providing power on all ports over the Ethernet cable to any Po E-enabled device, such as IP phones, wireless access points or IP cameras. As well as removing the need for local (at the desk) power supplies, making for tidier installations, Po E ensures power efficiency, providing only the power needed, as well as allowing for time schedules for powering up/down & remote rebooting. Power is provided only when required & allows for installation of devices where there is no mains power, which is particularly useful for wireless access points that can be ceiling mounted. The Vigor Switch P1282 has twenty-four (24) Po E ports with a power budget of up to 400 watts for all connected Po E devices, allowing for connection of both standard Po E (802.3af) & High-Power Po E (802.3at) devices at up to 30 watts per port. Power over Ethernet Management Device Check The Device Check feature can monitor connectivity to a device / remote IP. If it stops responding, for instance if an IP camera stops transmitting, the Vigor Switch will automatically power cycle the port it's connected to, allowing it to restart & work normally again. Scheduling Set time schedules to turn connected Po E devices on/off at certain times of the day, for instance turning off wireless access points overnight. Save power & prevent network access outside of the set operation times. Po E Priority In the event that the Po E power usage exceeds the power budget of the switch, important devices can be given priority so that they remain on. Less important devices can be turned off by the switch, to ensure constant operation of essential systems. Central Management The Dray Tek Vigor Switch P1282 can operate in standalone mode & be managed through its web interface or, if you need to manage & monitor the switch remotely, or have several Dray Tek Vigor Switches to administer, you can centrally manage & monitor them either with: Router
- Switch Management Manage Vigor Switches connected to a router & determine network topology at a glance. Dray Tek Vigor ACS Manage & Provision Dray Tek Vigor Switches on any network, from anywhere (licence required, sold separately). Dray Tek Vigor Connect Manage & Provision Vigor Switches & Vigor A Ps on a single site. Managing a Vigor Switch through Vigor ACS Dray Tek's Vigor ACS central management system (licence required, sold separately) provides a centralised way to manage & view the status of any Dray Tek Vigor router, Vigor AP access point & Vigor Switch connected to the Vigor ACS server. Dray Tek Vigor Switches that support TR-069 management can be managed through Dray Tek Vigor ACS 2 in the same way that a Dray Tek Vigor router or Vigor AP access point would be managed. Through Vigor ACS, you can view & manage a single Vigor Switch, all switches on a site, or all switches across an entire network spanning multiple sites in one place. Dray Tek Vigor Switches connected to Vigor ACS connect directly to the Vigor ACS server to be managed, so the router or network that they are connected to needs no additional configuration beyond the Vigor Switch having access to the internet (or if your Vigor ACS server is located across a private WAN / VPN connection, access to that network). Dashboard view View the state of a Vigor Switch through the Dashboard, with Po E usage, uptime & connected ports all visible in one place Switch Configuration View the configuration of a Vigor Switch & make changes to the configuration through Vigor ACS, then copy the settings from that switch to apply them to multiple Vigor Switches Central Switch Management with a Dray Tek Vigor Router Dray Tek Vigor router Central Switch Management provisions & monitors Vigor Switches through a Dray Tek Vigor router (sold separately), with profiles that can be applied to multiple switches & VLAN configuration all handled within the router. Central Switch Management requires firmware support on both the Vigor Switch & the Dray Tek Vigor router (requires 3.9.1 firmware update). This simplifies the setup of multiple subnets & VLANs without needing in-depth knowledge of VLAN tagging, & reduces setup time with the time-consuming step of configuring VLANs for each port handled by the router instead. Switch Hierarchy The Switch Hierarchy view provides a visual overview of interconnections between Dray Tek Vigor Switches with the devices connected to each LAN port Switch Management Profiles Switch Management profiles can be used configure schedules to enable or disable ports (including Po E) & set bandwidth limits for the ports. Descriptive names can be configured on the router which can be seen from the Switch Hierarchy view VLAN configuration of a Vigor Switch can be provisioned from the Dray Tek Vigor router, with the router automatically configuring the Uplink port & being aware of the VLAN tags that the Vigor router & the connected LAN port have available Dynamic MAC-based VLAN Assign VLAN access to individual devices instead of ports with MAC-based VLAN, to ensure that devices are assigned to the correct network regardless of which switch port they're plugged into. With MAC-based VLAN, users can move around the office & make use of the same network resources & access through any port on the switch, without requiring manual re-configuration of VLAN settings on individual ports. Surveillance & Voice Auto VLAN With Voice VLAN & Surveillance VLAN, the Vigor Swith P1282 simplifies the setup of connected IP Phones & IP Cameras. Move around ports on the switch without having to manually re-configure VLAN & Qo S settings each time. Instead, the switch will auto-assign VLAN tags & Quality of Service to IP Phones & IP Cameras, ensuring that each device remains on the correct network & that essential Voice & Video data is prioritised on the network. The switch identifies cameras & phones from their MAC address (Vendor OUI), so that when connecting up an IP Phone from Yealink for instance, the switch would configure the VLAN ID & set the Qo S tag for that port. Upon moving the phone to a different port, the switch will ensure that the VLAN settings follow the device rather than requiring a fixed VLAN & Qo S configuration per-port. ONVIF IP Camera Management The Vigor Switch P1282 can discover, manage & configure ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) compatible IP cameras & NVR systems, allowing for easy discovery, management & troubleshooting of your connected IP cameras. Device Management Use the Vigor Switch to configure & manage your IP camera network; configure network & security settings, restart cameras & have the switch monitor whether cameras are responding, alerting of any issues. Network Surveillance Topology Simply connect ONVIF capable devices to the Vigor Switch P1282, discover devices, & the Vigor Switch determines the network topology of connected cameras & NVR systems. View IP Camera Output Through the Vigor Switch web interface, you can view the video feed of connected IP cameras. Camera Offline Alerts with Snapshot The Vigor Switch P1282 can store a recent snapshot of each connected IP Camera that's ONVIF compliant. If a camera goes offline, the Vigor Switch sends out an email alert with the last-seen snapshot from the camera that's stopped responding. This means that you can locate the affected camera easily & troubleshoot any problems it may have, such as a disconnected cable or hardware fault. In addition, with Device Check on this Po E Vigor Switch, the switch can automatically power cycle the affected camera when problems occur, resolving issues with a freezing camera without requiring manual intervention. IP Conflict Detection & Prevention Conflict Detection The Vigor Switch can detect & notify an administrator when an IP conflict is detected on the network. Easily track down conflicts & take action to resolve them. Conflict Prevention Use Dray Tek's IP Conflict Prevention to allow the switch to automatically protect against IP conflicts & ARP spoofing. IP Conflict Prevention catalogues the current network layout, giving you the option to fix the IP address & MAC information for important network devices, such as Servers & Routers. If another device attempts to use an IP address that's in use, the Vigor Switch blocks the misconfigured or malicious device, communicating only with the known & correct device. Quality of Service & Bandwidth Control Prioritise mission-critical services such as Voice over IP & optimise traffic on your network with Quality of Service. 802.1p Class of Service allows the switch to identify essential traffic, moving it ahead in the queue at busy uplinks, ensuring that important data arrives on time when passing through the switch. Auto Voice & Surveillance VLAN allow the switch to automatically assign Vo IP Phones & IP Cameras to their specified VLAN & prioritise their traffic without manual port configuration. Control & manage throughput per-port with Rate Limiting & application specific Traffic Shaping. Network Security & Management Features Control port access for every port on your network with the Vigor Switch Access Control List, to specifically allow or deny specified traffic types moving between ports just like a Firewall. Protect against network issues arising from connection of unwanted devices with IP Source Guard. Access Control List Similar to a firewall, the ACL can control which packet types (IPv 4, IPv 6 & MAC) are allowed to pass between ports on the switch. IPv 6 Ready The Vigor Switch P1282 supports IPv 6, with IPv 6 DNS Resolution & IPv 6 Access Control List (ACL) for port & traffic level firewalling of IPv 6 data alongside IPv 4 traffic. IGMP Snooping & Querying Manage & control multicast IGMP traffic passing through the switch, with IGMP Snooping & Querying. With IGMP Snooping, the switch tracks IGMP traffic passing through its ports. This allows it to limit the broadcast of multicast/IGMP packets to only the ports that have subscribed, improving overall network performance & avoiding excess network traffic. The Vigor Switch's IGMP Querier allows it to manage IGMP subscriptions on its network ports, checking which ports are members of which multicast group, if the network's router does not support multicast. Management Account Control Control logins to the switch management with the switch's internal user accounts. Create multiple admin accounts & specify who can access what with 2-level admin privileges. IP Source Guard Protects against address spoofing by comparing packets received with either statically configured source IP addresses or addresses learned from DHCP snooping. Link Aggregation
- Port Trunking Use two or more network links to connect the Vigor Switch P1282 to another switch or server. Traffic can be shared between the two ports, effectively doubling the bandwidth of the uplink & providing resilience should one of the links fail. Jumbo Frame The Vigor Switch P1282 supports Ethernet packets up to 9 Kilobytes in size, to further improve throughput & increase the efficiency of packet transmission across your network. Do S (Denial of Service) Defence Protect your network against Denial of Service attacks & malformed network packets with Dray Tek's extensive switch-level Do S Defence. SFP Ports for Fibre Connectivity & Switch Uplinks The Dray Tek Vigor Switch P1282 has four (4) switchable Gigabit SFP ports for uplinks, which can be used instead of the corresponding RJ45 ports (nos. 25-28). SFP slots are typically used for fibre transceivers & interlinks between switches. In comparison to 'copper' (RJ45) cables, using fibre for connectivity provides longer range & resilience from electrical interference. The SFP ports provides compatibility with your choice of SFP modules (sold separately) & therefore the most appropriate medium for your application. Alternatively, use a passive Direct Attach SFP adapter (sold separately) to connect directly to the SFP module port of another switch, similarly to an RJ45 network connection.
