Advanced Layer 2+ Features

DHCP Server & VLAN Routing
Improving LAN Network Sustainability and Efficiency,
with or without a Router


In a large LAN network, much traffic doesn’t go to Internet, but to the servers in LAN. For example, IP cameras store videos to NVR, IP phones register to PBX, clients access to file server, etc.

L2+ switch with DHCP server and VLAN routing functionalities, as the device receiving traffic before the router, is ideal to share the loading of your router and to help your LAN network to work continuously even when the router is offline.

As a DHCP server, VigorSwitch assigns dynamic IP addresses for up to 8 VLANs. With VLAN routing, VigorSwitch supports up to 512 routes.

Bind IP to MAC

Reserve an IP Address for an Important Device

As a DHCP Server, layer 2+ VigorSwitch helps reserving IP addresses for your important devices that most users will access frequently.

ONVIF-Friendly

Recognize the ONVIF devices in different VLANs, display surveillance topology, provide UI for video streaming and device maintenance.
Centralized Hierarchical View

VigorSwitch automatically detects ONVIF devices, and displays the topology of connecting IP cameras and NVRs.

Images Viewing

Images filmed by IP cameras can be viewed directly on VigorSwitch.

Device Management

Support ONVIF devices basic configuration/maintenance remotely via VigorSwitch. Such as remote reboot, factory reset, network settings, etc.

ONVIF Snapshot Alert

Locating Not-Responding Cameras Made Easy
It’s already difficult to manage several IP cameras across different locations and customers, not to mention to keep monitoring on which camera stops functioning.

To help on this task, VigorSwitch keeps pinging on the ONVIF IP cameras and taking snapshots from them periodically, and sends out an email alert with the latest snapshot when a camera not responding.


With PoE models, VigorSwitch can also provide first aid to automatically power cycle the particular port to reboot the camera.

IP Conflict Detection & Prevention

Conflict Detection

keeps an eye on the environment and notify the administrator of any IP conflicts.

Conflict Prevention

For a more stable network, VigorSwitch can’t only detect but block the misconfigured or malicious IP host.

LAN Management

Automatic Device Discovery

All you need is connect the VigorSwitch to the LAN side of the router, Vigor Router will then discover the devices to be managed.

Provisioning

Switch profile may be set on the Vigor Router. VLAN and scheduled ports control may be set and provision to the VigorSwitch remotely.

Monitoring

VigorRouter provides a hierarchical centralized view of managing devices, you may always check if the managed VigorSwitch is online and if there's log and alert happens.

System Maintenance

You may perform a factory reset, save/restore a configuration backup, or trigger a remote reboot directly on the VigorRouter. There's no need to log in to each device's management page.
