Frequently Asked Questions
What is an L2+ managed switch and how does it differ from standard switches?
An L2+ managed switch operates at Layer 2 with enhanced features like VLAN support, QoS, and traffic management. Unlike unmanaged switches, the AW-GTS-287A provides granular control over network traffic, security policies, and performance optimization—essential for enterprise environments requiring reliability and scalability.
Why choose a 10G fiber switch for my network infrastructure?
A 10G fiber switch like the AW-GTS-287A offers superior bandwidth capacity, longer transmission distances, and immunity to electromagnetic interference compared to copper-based solutions. The 128 Gbps switching bandwidth supports high-volume data transfers, making it ideal for data centers, video surveillance networks, and bandwidth-intensive applications.
How many ports does the VIVOTEK AW-GTS-287A have and what are the uplink options?
The AW-GTS-287A features 20 GbE SFP ports for primary connectivity and 1G/10G SFP+ uplink connections for flexible network expansion. This configuration supports high-density deployments while maintaining scalability for future growth and integration with existing infrastructure.
What management and security features are included?
The 10G L2+ managed switch includes comprehensive management via SNMP and web-based interfaces, advanced VLAN configuration, QoS traffic prioritization, port-level access controls, and 802.1X authentication. These features ensure secure, optimized network performance across enterprise deployments.
