Central Management

The DrayTek VigorSwitch G1280 can operate in standalone mode and be managed through its web interface or, if you need to manage and monitor the switch remotely, or have several DrayTek VigorSwitches to administer, you can centrally manage and monitor them either with:

Router - Switch Management	Manage VigorSwitches connected to a router and determine network topology at a glance
DrayTek VigorACS	Manage and Provision DrayTek VigorSwitches on any network, from anywhere
DrayTek VigorConnect	Manage and Provision VigorSwitches and VigorAPs on a single site

Managing a VigorSwitch through VigorACS

DrayTek's VigorACS central management system provides a centralised way to manage and view the status of any DrayTek Vigor router, VigorAP access point and VigorSwitch connected to the VigorACS server.

DrayTek VigorSwitch switches that support TR-069 management can be managed through DrayTek VigorACS 2 in the same way that a DrayTek Vigor router or VigorAP access point would be managed. Through VigorACS, you can view and manage; a single VigorSwitch, all switches on a site or all switches across an entire network spanning multiple sites in one place.

DrayTek VigorSwitches connected to VigorACS connect directly to the VigorACS server to be managed, the router or network that they are connected to needs no additional configuration beyond the VigorSwitch having access to the Internet (or if your VigorACS server is located across a private WAN / VPN connection, access to that network).

Dashboard view

View the state of a VigorSwitch through the Dashboard, with PoE usage, uptime and connected ports all visible in one place:

Switch Configuration

View the configuration of a VigorSwitch and make changes to the configuration through VigorACS, then copy the settings from that switch to apply them to multiple VigorSwitch switches:

Central Switch Management with a DrayTek Vigor Router

DrayTek Vigor router Central Switch Management provisions and monitors VigorSwitch switches through a DrayTek Vigor router, with profiles that can be applied to multiple switches and VLAN configuration all handled within the router.

Central Switch Management requires firmware support on both the VigorSwitch and the DrayTek Vigor router.

This can simplify the setup of multiple subnets and VLANs, without needing in-depth knowledge of VLAN tagging and 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 DrayTek VigorSwitch 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 PoE) and 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 VigorSwitch can be provisioned from the DrayTek Vigor router, with the router automatically configuring the Uplink port and being aware of the VLAN tags that the Vigor router and 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 and make use of the same network resources and 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 and Surveillance VLAN, the VigorSwith G1280 simplifies the setup of connected IP Phones and IP Cameras. Move around ports on the switch without having to manually re-configure VLAN and QoS settings each time, instead the switch will auto-assign VLAN tags and Quality of Service to IP Phones and IP Cameras, ensuring that each device remains on the correct network and that essential Voice and Video data is prioritised on the network.

The switch identifies cameras and 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 and set the QoS tag for that port. Moving the phone to a different port, the switch will ensure that the VLAN settings follow the device rather than requiring a fixed VLAN & QoS configuration per-port.

ONVIF IP Camera Management

The VigorSwitch G1280 can discover, manage and configure ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) compatible IP cameras and NVR systems, allowing for easy discovery, management and troubleshooting of your connected IP cameras.

Device Management

Use the VigorSwitch to configure and manage your IP camera network; configure network & security settings, restart cameras and have the switch monitor whether cameras are responding, alerting of any issues.

Network Surveillance Topology

Simply connect ONVIF capable devices to the VigorSwitch G1280, Discover devices and the VigorSwitch determines the network topology of connected cameras & NVR systems.

View IP Camera Output

Through the VigorSwitch web interface, you can view the video feed of connected IP cameras:

ONVIF Camera Management - Camera Display

Camera Offline Alerts with Snapshot

The VigorSwitch G1280 can store a recent snapshot of each connected IP Camera that's ONVIF compliant.

If a camera goes offline, the VigorSwitch sends out an Email alert with the last-seen snapshot from the camera that's stopped responding. Allowing you to locate the affected camera easily and troubleshoot any problems it may have, such as a disconnected cable or faulty camera.

In addition, with Device Check on a PoE VigorSwitch, 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 VigorSwitch can detect and notify an administrator when an IP conflict is detected on the network. Easily track down conflicts and take action to resolve them.

Conflict Prevention

Use DrayTek's IP Conflict Prevention to allow the switch to automatically protect against IP conflicts and ARP spoofing.

IP Conflict Prevention catalogues the current network layout, giving you the option to fix the IP address and MAC information for important network devices, such as Servers and Routers.

If another device attempts to use an IP address that's in use, the VigorSwitch blocks the misconfigured or malicious device, communicating only with the known and correct device.

Quality of Service & Bandwidth Control

Quality of Service

Prioritise mission-critical services such as Voice over IP and 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 VoIP Phones and IP Cameras to their specified VLAN and prioritise their traffic without manual port configuration.

Control and manage throughput per-port with Rate Limiting and application specific Traffic Shaping.

Network Security and Management Features

Control port access for every port on your network with the VigorSwitch 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 (IPv4, IPv6 & MAC) are allowed to pass between ports on the switch.
IPv6 Ready	The VigorSwitch G1280 supports IPv6, with IPv6 DNS Resolution and IPv6 Access Control List (ACL) for port & traffic level firewalling of IPv6 data alongside IPv4 traffic.
IGMP Snooping & Querying	Manage and control multicast IGMP traffic passing through the switch, with IGMP Snooping & Querying. With IGMP Snooping, the switch tracks IGMP traffic passing through its ports. Allowing it to limit the broadcast of multicast/IGMP packets to only the ports that have subscribed, improving overall network performance and avoiding excess network traffic. The VigorSwitch'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. Learn More.
Management Account Control	Control logins to the switch management with the switch's internal user accounts, create multiple admin accounts and 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.
Jumbo Frame	The VigorSwitch G1280 supports Ethernet packets up to 9 Kilobytes in size, to further improve throughput and increase the efficiency of packet transmission across your network.
DoS (Denial of Service) Defence	Protect your network against Denial of Service attacks and malformed network packets with DrayTek's extensive switch-level DoS Defence.

4 SFP Ports for Fibre Connectivity and Switch Uplinks

The DrayTek VigorSwitch G1280 has 4 switchable Gigabit SFP ports for uplinks, which can be used instead of the corresponding RJ-45 ports Nos. 25-28.

SFP slots are typically used for fibre transceivers and interlinks between switches. In comparison to 'copper' (RJ-45) cables, using fibre for connectivity provides longer range and resilience from electrical interference.

The SFP ports provide compatibility with your choice of SFP modules (not included) and therefore the most appropriate medium for your application.

Use a passive Direct Attach SFP adapter such as the DrayTek DAC-CX10-01M, to connect directly to the SFP module port of another switch, similarly to an RJ-45 network connection, instead of using the SFP module slot for a Fibre or RJ-45 Transceiver.

Link Aggregation (LAG) & Port Trunking

Use two or more network links to connect the VigorSwitch G1085 to a switch or server.

Traffic is shared between the two ports, effectively doubling the available bandwidth for a server or uplink on the network, as well as providing resilience, should one of the links fail.

The standardised Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows for interoperability with a wide range of networking products, as well as linking up DrayTek switches. Learn More.

Link Aggregation with a DrayTek VigorSwitch

Rack Mountable & Silent

Install the VigorSwitch on a desk, shelf or wall, or use the included rack mount fittings to install the switch in any standard 19" rack with 1U height.

Ideal for installation in quiet office environments, the VigorSwitch G1280 runs quietly, cooling without a fan.
