Flexible VLAN Options

With VigorSwitch G2280, you may segment the physical local area network (LAN) into the smaller logical network (VLAN) and limits the traffic within that segment, this allows the administrator to control the LAN access and eliminates unnecessary network traffic. VigorSwitch G2280 supports various types of identifying the VLAN of traffic, including port-based, tag-based, protocol-based, and MAC-based. Voice VLAN and Surveillance VLAN are also supported so that traffic from an IP phone or an IP camera can be identified automatically without the need of specifying each of their MAC address, the respective QoS (Quality of Service) policy can be applied easily, so that the call and video quality can be optimized.

Network Security

To save the LAN bandwidth, VigorSwitch G2280 has integrated security features to prevent the local network being overloaded by superfluous traffic, such as Storm Control to limit the amount of broadcast and multicast traffic on each port, and DoS Defense to protect the network being flooded by malicious requests.
