Router DrayTek VigorSwitch G-2100 2*SFP+ 8*GE

The DrayTek VigorSwitch G-2100 is a managed switch designed to deliver stable gigabit connectivity with flexible uplink options. Equipped with two SFP+ ports and eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, the switch supports high-bandwidth links and reliable local networking. It offers VLAN segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) controls and basic management features suitable for small to medium-sized business networks. The compact metal housing and rack- or desktop-friendly form factor allow integration into existing network setups while maintaining consistent performance for connected devices.

Advantages

The VigorSwitch G-2100 combines SFP+ uplinks for 10 Gbps fiber or DAC connections with multiple Gigabit copper ports to support mixed media environments. Managed switch capabilities enable VLAN creation, QoS prioritization and traffic monitoring without complex configuration. The device’s durable construction and straightforward management interface simplify deployment and ongoing administration. Energy-efficient operation and support for standard Layer 2 features make it suitable for reliable, predictable network behaviour.

Suitable for

• Small and medium office networks requiring segmented VLANs
• Edge aggregation where 10 Gbps uplinks connect to core switches or servers
• Environments needing QoS for voice, video and critical applications
• Mixed copper and fiber deployments in compact racks or wiring closets

Key specifications

• Ports: 2 SFP+ ports (10 Gbps) and 8 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) ports
• Switching capacity: high throughput suitable for gigabit and 10 Gbps uplinks
• Management: web-based GUI and standard Layer 2 management features
• VLAN: support for multiple VLANs and port-based or tagged VLAN configurations
• QoS: traffic prioritization, bandwidth control and traffic shaping options
• Form factor: compact metal enclosure for desktop or rack mounting
• Security: basic access control features and network isolation capabilities

How to use

Install the VigorSwitch G-2100 in a suitable, ventilated location and connect power according to the device instructions. Use SFP+ modules or direct-attach cables for 10 Gbps uplinks and standard Ethernet cables for the Gigabit ports. Access the switch management interface through the web GUI to assign IP settings, create VLANs, configure QoS rules and set access restrictions. Apply firmware updates and save configuration backups after initial setup to ensure stable operation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, plan VLAN and QoS policies before deployment to minimise reconfiguration. Use compatible SFP+ transceivers or DAC cables and verify link speeds when connecting to core infrastructure. Regularly update firmware and monitor port statistics to detect congestion or faults early.
