Managing a VigorSwitch P2121 in VigorACS 2

Overview the status of all switches on a site or network, or view the status of a single switch. The Dashboard displays detailed information on port & PoE power usage, with alerts and notifications if a port is unexpectedly offline.

With DrayTek VigorACS you can remotely configure and provision the operation of your DrayTek VigorSwitch from your computer, tablet or phone.

DrayTek VigorSwitch models with a 'P' prefix such as the VigorSwitch P1280 provide Power over Ethernet, with a high power budget per switch, up to 385 watts.

Each port supports both IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30 watts per port) to power advanced PoE devices, such as 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless access points and outdoor IP cameras.

The VigorSwitch can schedule PoE power to individual ports and monitor the status of connected devices. If a port is unexpectedly not responding, the VigorSwitch can automatically power cycle the connected PoE PD device.

Configure VLANs on a DrayTek VigorSwitch with Switch Management

When managed by a DrayTek Vigor router, the router's VLAN configuration can be easily transferred to a connected VigorSwitch.

Simply select the VLANs configured on the router that will be applied to each of the VigorSwitch's ports, then apply the configuration with a single click. The router will set up the VigorSwitch to work with the router's LAN subnets and VLANs.

Once applied, the port & VLAN configuration can be copied from one switch to the next, all through the DrayTek Vigor router's web interface.

Link Aggregation & Redundant Links

Increase transfer speeds between switches and provide redundant links with Link Aggregation.

Improve network resiliency and handle redundant connectivity with Spanning Tree Protocol (STP, RSTP & MSTP).
