The DrayTek VigorSwitch G1240 is a cost-effective web smart switch that meets all IEEE 802.3/u/ab/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet specifications. It is equipped with 20 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 4 dual media ports that accommodate optional 10/100/1000Base-T or SFP modules. The switch can be managed through Ethernet port using Web browser, the network administrator can logon the switch to monitor, configure and control each port’s activity. In addition, the switch implements the QoS, Port Mirror, VLAN, LACP, LAN security, Multicasting video stream protocol, and SNMP. It is suitable for SMB application.QoS (Quality of Service)
With DrayTek VigorSwitch G1240, the QoS feature provides four internal queues to support four different classifications of traffic. High priority packet streams experience less delay inside the switch, which supports lower latency for certain delay-sensitive traffic. The switch classifies the packet as one of the four priorities according to 802.1p priority tag, DiffServ and/or IP TOS. The QoS operates at full wire speed.
Port Mirroring
Port Mirroring mechanism helps track network errors or abnormal packet transmission without interrupting the flow of data, allowing ingress traffic (RX mode) to be monitored by a single port that is defined as mirror capture port. The mirror capture port can be any 10/100 port, 10/100/1000 port.
Network Security
802.1x features enable user authentication for each network access attempt. Port security features allow you to limit the number of MAC addresses per port in order to control the number of stations for each port. Static MAC addresses can be defined for each port to ensure only registered machines are allowed to access. By enabling both of these features, you can establish an access mechanism based on user and machine identities, as well as control the number of access stations.
Bandwidth Aggregation
The Gigabit ports can be combined together to create a multi-link load-sharing trunk. Up to 12 Gigabit ports can be set up per trunk. The switch supports up to 12 trunking groups. Port trunks are useful for switch-to-switch cascading, providing very high full-duplex speeds.
Flexible fiber connection
Four dual media ports are provided for flexible fiber connection. You can select to install optional transceiver modules in these slots for short, medium or long distance fiber backbone attachment. Use of the SFP will disable their corresponding built-in 10/100/1000Base-T connections.
Power Saving
The Power saving using Power Management techniques to detect the client idle and cable length automatically and provides the different power. It could efficient to save the switch power and reduce the power consumption.
