The DrayTek VigorSwitch G2080 manageable Layer 2 switch offers 8 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 SFP combo ports, and which supports SNMP, Web-based and CLI management interface. Designed ideally for workgroups and long range remote located network applications, it incorporates features such as QoS, MAC Filtering Policy, Port Mirroring, VLAN and full Layer 2 protocol. With these advanced features, the DrayTek VigorSwitch G2080 is an ideal solution for expanding your Gigabit network.

 

VigorSwith G2080 offers benefits for both security and performance with the VLAN function. VLAN can isolate traffic among different clients. In addition, it provides good security in network application. Within the same VLAN broadcast domain, the limited broadcast traffic can enhance performance of the switch. Moreover, advanced technique, 802.1Q-in-Q, is provided and deployed within VLAN feature.

 

VigorSwitch G2080 supports higher layer classification / prioritization to activate the enhanced QoS for real-time applications with the information coming from Layer 2 to Layer 4.

 

Supervisor Monitoring Network supported by Port Mirroring. The mechanism of port mirroring can track errors in network or detect abnormal packet transmission but not break down the data flow for it will duplicate data from specified port to another port.

 

To fit the request of working on limited small space for SOHO users, the noiseless VigorSwitch G2080 is important to and suitable for them.

 

Port trunk is useful for switch-to-switch cascading which can offer high full-duplex speed. To create multi-link load-sharing trunk in network, the Gigabit ports can be grouped together to reach the purpose. Users can combine up to 4 Gigabit ports for the bandwidth up to 8 Gbps. Moreover, VigorSwitch can support up to 4 trunking groups.

 

802.1x features provide authentication for each network access for users. Besides, to control the number of stations for each port, the port security feature allows users to limit the number of MAC address per port. Users can define static MAC address for each port to ensure the access of registered machines. With these two features, users can establish an access mechanism with identifying user and machine, and control the number of access stations easily.

 

Users can configure VigorSwitch with a redundant backup bridge path for the mission critical environment with multiple switches supporting STP. Hence, the transmission and reception of packets can be assured in the event of any failover switch on the network.

 

Broadcast/multicast storm control is adapted by VigorSwitch to restrict the excess traffic by avoiding broadcast/multicast flooding in the network. Threshold values are available for each port to control the rate limit. Additionally, if the count exceeds the configured upper threshold, the transmitted packets would be discarded.
