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. |
AAA - 802.1X Authentication
|
Control access to LAN ports through a RADIUS server, which could be provided by the Vigor 2862 router on site. Authenticate and authorise network access via 802.1X, MAC address or web authentication. Track data and time usage of each user authenticated with RADIUS Accounting.
Solution Focus - Wired 802.1X LAN Port Security
|
Management Authentication via RADIUS, TACACS+ or local accounts
|
Control logins to the switch management with the switch's internal user accounts or through a central RADIUS / TACACS+ server.
|
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.
|
IPv6 Ready
|
The VigorSwitch G2540xs has extensive IPv6 support, with IPv6 ACL, MLD Snooping and IPv6 DNS Resolution.
Filter IPv6 packets with the Access Control List (ACL) alongside IPv4 traffic.
Use IPv6 MLD Snooping to control and more efficiently manage Multicast packets in the same way that IGMP Snooping would for IPv4 Multicast packets.
|
DHCP Snooping
|
Limit DHCP server responses to only a specified port to stop unauthorised devices from affecting network connectivity. |
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 VigorSwitch G2540xs and another switch / server. Traffic can be shared between the two ports, effectively doubling the bandwidth of the uplink and providing resilience should one of the links fail.
Up to 8 ports can be added to a single Link Aggregation Group, with up to 8 LAGs. Interoperability with other types and manufacturer's equipment is handled by the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
|
Improved Jumbo Frame
|
The VigorSwitch G2540xs supports Ethernet packets up to 12 Kilobytes in size, to further improve throughput and increase the efficiency of packet transmission across your network. |
sFlow
|
Send sFlow data from the VigorSwitch G2540xs to an sFlow Collector or VigorConnect to analyse traffic passing through the switch. |
Surveillance & Voice Auto VLAN
|
With Voice VLAN and Surveillance VLAN, the VigorSwith G2540xs 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.
|
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.
