Vigor Switch P2261 – 24-Port Managed Po E Switch Overview The Vigor Switch P2261 is a high-performance, fully-managed, layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch with Po E (Power over Ethernet). Its
Specification is packed with advanced features to aid reliability & switching performance to your network & is ready for the next generation with both IPv 4 & IPv 6 support. The P2261 has 20 standard (RJ45/copper) Gigabit Ethernet Ports, four selectable ports (can be either RJ45 or SFP) & two dedicated SFP ports (for fibre connection modules). Features for Quality of Service (Qo S), VLANs & network/switch security provide additional flexibility. The Vigor Switch P2261 is a Po E (Power over Ethernet) switch, providing power to any Po E-enabled device, most commonly IP phones, wireless access points or IP cameras over the Ethernet cable. As well as removing the need for local (at the desk) power supplies so 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. Power is provided only when required. Po E also allows for installation of devices where there is no mains power (particularly useful for wireless access points). The P2261 supports both standard Po E (802.1af) & High-Power Po E (802.1at) devices. A ' Single IP Management' facility enabled you to have 32 Vigor Switch P2261 or G2260 units on the same local subnet & access the web interface of each from a single interface (IP address), moving quickly from one to another rather than having to log into each switch individually. The Dray Tek P2261 has 6 SFP (Fibre Module) ports. Four of the ports can be used instead of the corresponding RJ45 (copper) port No’s 21-24; the other two SFP ports are independent. In comparison to 'copper' (RJ45), using fibre for uplinks provides longer range & reliance from electrical interference. The SFP port provides compatibility with your choice of SFP module (not included) & therefore the most appropriate fibre technology for your application.
