Draytek VigorSwitch P2100 8+2 Port Switch

8-Port Gigabit Layer 2+ Managed PoE+ Switch With 2 SFP Uplink Ports

The VigorSwitch P2100 is a high-performance, Layer 2+ Managed Ethernet switch. With 8 RJ-45 Gigabit LAN ports, it's ideal for adding network ports to a DrayTek Vigor router. The enterprise-level features allow your business to improve network stability and security. The VigorSwitch P2100 is able to power your network devices via Power over Ethernet, with a generous 140 watt power budget to provide power to each of its 8 PoE / PoE+ enabled Gigabit LAN ports. The VigorSwitch P2100 works superbly in standalone mode, but designed for centralised management, it can be provisioned and monitored by one of DrayTek’s central management platforms. These include the VigorACS management platform, VigorConnect on-site management and DrayTek’s router-based switch management These platforms allow you to drastically reduce the setup time required for a complex network and configure an entire DrayTek network remotely.

Power Over Ethernet

The VigorSwitch P2100 is an 8-port PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch, providing power on all ports to any PoE-enabled device, such as IP phones, wireless access points or IP cameras over the Ethernet cable. There are 2 additional SFP module slots for Ethernet and Fibre uplinks, with suitable SFP modules installed. As well as removing the need for local (at the desk) power supplies, making for tidier installations, PoE ensures power efficiency, providing only the power needed, as well as allowing for time schedules for powering up/down and remote rebooting. Power is provided only when required and allows for installation of devices where there is no mains power, particularly useful for wireless access points such as the ceiling mounted VigorAP 960C. The VigorSwitch P2100 has a total power budget of up to 140 watts for all connected PoE devices, allowing for connection of both standard PoE (802.3af) and High-Power PoE (802.3at) devices at up to 30 watts per port.

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).

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**requires 3.9.1 firmware update. 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.

Advanced Layer 2+ Routing Features

The VigorSwitch P2100 includes Layer 3 features; VLAN Routing, DHCP Server and Static Route, which allow the switch to provide routing between VLANs at full speed. The switch's Access Control List gives full control of what traffic routes between those networks. VLAN Routing - A DrayTek VigorSwitch normally provides connectivity for multiple network segments with 802.1Q VLAN tags, which separate networks at Layer 2 (MAC level), relying on the router to connect different networks. VLAN Routing in the switch allows for Layer 3 (IP level) routing, to connect and route between different IP subnets with wire speed routing performance. Static Route - Routing beyond the VigorSwitch P2100, to the Internet and across VPNs is possible with Static Routes, using the switch to direct traffic to remote subnets through the correct gateway. Up to 512 static routes can be configured on the switch. DHCP Server - The DrayTek VigorSwitch P2100 has an integrated DHCP server to provide IP addressing to as many as 8 subnets on the switch.

ONVIF IP Camera Management

The VigorSwitch P2100 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 P2100, Discover devices and the VigorSwitch determines the network topology of connected cameras & NVR systems.

Camera Offline Alerts With Snapshot

The VigorSwitch P2100 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

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

Stay in control of what's connected to your network with Port Security and 802.1X & MAC authentication, to prevent connection of unauthorised equipment. Protect against network issues arising from connection of unwanted devices with DHCP Snooping and IP Source Guard. 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.

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 P2100 runs quietly, cooling without a fan.
