Central Switch Management with DrayTek Routers

Expired

Set up your network in minutes with DrayTek's Central Switch Management which allows you to easily manage and monitor your DrayTek VigorSwitch from your DrayTek router, avoiding the need to log into multiple devices to manage your network.

Central Switch Management allows you to easily apply VLAN configuration and other port settings. Set bandwidth rate limits and schedules for individual ports. Log switch events for alert notifications if network problems occur and at a glance see the devices connected on your network.


Overview

Central Switch Management is built into DrayTek Vigor routers, in the Central Management section of the router's web interface.

DrayTek Switch management allows you reduce time taken to set up complex networks, multiple subnets and VLANs, without needing in-depth knowledge of VLAN tagging. The time consuming steps of configuring VLANs for each port is handled by the router instead.

VigorSwitch settings can be provisioned through the router, even remotely. Simply log in to the router's web interface to set up your VigorSwitch switches, using a single standardised interface to apply settings to different switch models.
