VigorSwitch P2540X, PoE L2 Managed Gigabit Switch, is a standard switch that meets all IEEE

802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet specifications. The switch has 24 10/100/1000Mbps TP

ports. It supports telnet, http, https, SSH and SNMP interface for switch management. The

network administrator can login the switch to monitor, configure and control each port’s

activity. In addition, the switch implements the QoS (Quality of Service), VLAN, and Trunking.

It is suitable for office application.

VigorSwitch supports IEEE 802.3az, Energy-Efficient Ethernet, and provides power saving

feature. It can efficiently save the switch power with auto detect the client idle and cable

length to provide different power.

1000Mbps SFP Fiber port fully complies with all IEEE 802.3z and 1000Base-SX/LX standards.

The VigorSwitch implements 48 Gigabit Ethernet TP ports with auto MDIX and four slots for

the removable module supporting comprehensive fiber types of connection, including LC and

BiDi-LC SFP modules. The switch is suitable for the following applications:

Every port can access each other. (*The switch image is sample only.)

If VLAN is enabled and configured, each node in the network that can communicate each

other directly is bounded in the same VLAN area.

Here VLAN area is defined by what VLAN you are using. The switch supports both port-based

VLAN and tag-based VLAN. They are different in practical deployment, especially in physical

location. The following diagram shows how it works and what the difference they are.

The switch may be standalone, or mounted in a rack. Rack mounting facilitate to an orderly

installation when you are going to install series of networking devices.

Procedures to Rack-mount the switch:

1. Disconnect all the cables from the switch before continuing.

2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front facing you.

3. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.

4. Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.

5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.

6. Insert the unit into the rack and secure with suitable screws.

7. Reconnect all the cables.

Crossover or straight-through cable: All the ports on the switch support Auto-MDI/MDI-X

functionality. Both straight-through or crossover cables can be used as the media to connect

the switch with PCs as well as other devices like switches, hubs or router.

Category 3, 4, 5 or 5e, 6 UTP/STP cable: To make a valid connection and obtain the optimal

performance, an appropriate cable that corresponds to different transmitting/receiving

speed is required. To choose a suitable cable, please refer to the following table.

Before start using the switch, the IP address setting of the switch should be done, then

perform the following steps:

1. Set up a physical path between the configured the switch and a PC by a qualified UTP Cat.

5e cable with RJ-45 connector.

Note: If PC directly connects to the switch, you have to setup the same subnet mask

between them. But, subnet mask may be different for the PC in the remote site. Please

refer to the above figure about the Web Smart Switch default IP address information.
