Vigor2962 features four configurable WAN/LAN ports, including one 2.5GbE port, one SFP/GbE combo port, and two GbE ports. Up to four ports can be used as WAN port concurrently. Multi-WAN for load balancing/failover improves Internet resilience of your business.
Never trust, always verify. VPN from LAN works Zero Trust out. It provides a better security level to your network, which protects vital servers from potential threats caused by other LAN devices. The servers can only be accessed by VPN, even if the devices are on the LAN network.
Isolating remote dial-in accounts to protect VPN users from each others. They can only access company’s servers but not allowed to enter each other’s devices. This helps prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data and protect network from malware or other intrusions.
With new Two-Factor authentication, you can strength the security of VPN connections and eliminates the expense of SMS messages or license fees in a cost-effective way.
By either mirroring all packets to designated LAN port and now to VPN connection no matter LAN to LAN profile or remote Dial-in users, and even downloading .pcap file via WUI remotely, spotting an issue is easier than ever.
Hosting multiple servers to share the traffic load for the same service is common. It can avoid excessive load on a single server by distributing the load, optimizing resource usage, and preventing a single server failure.
With Server Load Balance, when massive connections enter the router, the router will distribute the inbound NAT sessions among the servers with the configured load balance weight.
Configuring NAT Port Redirection rules is the typical way to allow the internal servers to be accessible from the Internet. However, once the port opens, it is exposed to the Internet and can be scanned by the malware.
Port knocking is a technology that can add an extra layer of protection to the internal servers. Its basic idea is that only open ports are at risk of being attacked, so it allows all ports to be closed at the beginning. Do not open them, and then set a password based on the port combination. Only those who know the password can open the ports and connect.
Market your business while offering free WLAN
Redirect the hotspot guests to the company homepage, online surveys, or display promotion message.
Require the guest to leave contact info or social media accounts before they can use the Internet service.
A variety of login methods are supported to meet your business need, including Facebook Login, Google Login, SMS PIN, Voucher PIN, and RADIUS.
Supports external captive portal authentication. You can keep using the WLAN marketing solution you like.
Bandwidth management is integrated into Hotspot to control the bandwidth and session usage of the Hotspot guests.
A management platform for Vigor devices on the LAN side and offer simple and massive deployment.
Automatically discover LAN subnets and add detected VigorSwitch/AP into managed list.
Most-frequent used settings can be pre-defined on the Vigor Router, and provision to the managed VigorSwitch/AP.
Vigor Router provides a centralized view of managing devices, you may always check if the managed Vigor Switch/AP is online.
You may perform a factory reset, save/restore a configuration backup, or trigger a remote reboot directly on the Vigor Router. There’s no need to log in to each device’s management page.
