The VigorSwitch G1080 is a small, high-performance Gigabit smart switch designed for small and medium business networks that require simple network management, with support for VLANs, QoS and Link Aggregation (increases uplink speed for high data volume applications).The G1080 is an ulta-low power device, consuming under 1A, even when fully loaded. It is powered by an AC/DC adaptor (included). It's a low cost device, ideal for adding additional Ethernet ports to your router with a small footprint.
The VigorSwitch G1080 can be managed directly through its web interface, or can be installed in conjunction with a compatible Vigor router to expand the router's network, with the VigorSwitch G1080 managed and monitored through the DrayTek Vigor router's web interface.
Power from USB
If you have limited space or power sockets, the VigorSwitch G1080 can also be powered by USB - perhaps the USB port on PC or one on your DrayTek Vigor router
Central Management
The DrayTek VigorSwitch G1080 can operate in standalone mode and be managed through its web interface or, if you need to manage and monitor the switch remotely, or have several DrayTek VigorSwitches to administer, you can centrally manage VigorSwitches on a site from the DrayTek router which they are physically connected to.
With DrayTek Central Switch Management, connected VigorSwitches can be monitored, managed and provisioned simply by accessing the router's web interface, either locally or from across the Internet.
See the 'Central Management' tab for more information on the capabilities of Central Switch Management.
Network Segmentation with Port-based & Tag-based VLAN
The DrayTek VigorSwitch G1080 can separate network segments using IEEE 802.1q VLANs, with both Tag-based and Port-based VLANs:
Tag-based VLAN
This type of VLAN can be used to segment networks using a single network link between the DrayTek Vigor router with multiple subnets (VLANs) and the VigorSwitch G1080, with different ports being assigned to each of the router's VLANs.
In this example, there are three VLANs being passed through the VigorSwitch G1080's first port, providing network ports to each of these networks. The clients on connected to each of these VLANs are isolated from each other, with access being controlled by the Vigor router's firewall.
DrayTek Central Switch Management can assist with configuring the VLAN settings on the VigorSwitch - see the 'VLAN Configuration' section of the 'Central Management' tab for more details.
Port-based VLAN
This type of VLAN configures the VigorSwitch G1080 as two separate network switches, with some ports being assigned to each of these networks, but kept fully isolated from each other.
Prioritise traffic & ports with Quality of Service
The VigorSwitch G1080 supports Quality of Service to prioritise latency sensitive traffic using both 802.1p CoS (Class of Service) and Port based mode.
802.1p CoS allows both software applications - such as Skype, and network devices - such as VoIP handsets that send priority tags with their time sensitive data, to be prioritised over general data transfers using the 4 flexible Queues and scheduling system of the switch.
With Port-based Quality of Service, VoIP phone handsets can be assigned a higher priority than a Network Attached Storage server, so that file transfers over the network cannot affect call quality.
Control port throughput with Rate Limiting
The VigorSwitch G1080 can control the bandwidth available to each of its network switch ports, with the Ingress rate (data received on that port) and Egress rate (data sent from the switch to that port) being configurable in increments from 512 kilobits per second, 1 megabit per second, 2mbps, up to 512mbps and Unlimited.
Multicast IGMP Snooping
With IGMP Snooping enabled, the VigorSwitch G1080 can determine which ports are requesting multicast data streams, with IP-TV for instance, and send that data only to the ports that have requested it, instead of the multicast streams being sent to all ports of the switch.
Link Aggregation / Port Trunking
When connecting the VigorSwitch G1080 to a larger network switch such as the VigorSwitch G1280, the link between that switch and the G1080 could be a bottleneck for the devices communicating between those two switches. With Link Aggregation configured on both switches and two 1Gb/s network links between the two switches, traffic can be shared between the two ports, effectively doubling the bandwidth of the uplink and providing resilience should one of the links fail.

Warning: You will want to read the classics after you read this book!
Format: Hardcover
This book beautifully captures what I didn’t realize was possible until I got to college: That the Lord can speak through great literature. When I was younger I largely avoided reading any fiction books because I felt guilty for not reading my Bible (but for some reason my apologetic books were ok? Lol). However, this book seeks to show (and I think accomplishes quite well) that great literature isn’t a hinderance to the Christian life but actually serves to cultivate a deep and thoroughly Christian imagination. Great literature has the capacity to convict you of your sins, to invoke worship and prayer, and to cultivate our desire to live lives of virtue. Great literature is a mirror through which you can examine your own way of life, but it also acts as a lens through which you can see with fresh eyes the world around you.
The author presents a lot of helpful practical advice in here too. Like how to know if a book is worth reading, different ways to approach reading books, as well as a thoughtful critique of the bad logic often used in Christian circles to avoid reading great literature.
“In a world that tries to convince us that we are computers or animals, that treats us like automatons or worker bees, what better protest than the reading life? If we are to be fully human, we must practice human acts— civility, creativity, contemplation, charity.”
All four of these acts are intertwined with reading great books! So let’s get to it!

A Book to Read and Read Again
Format: Hardcover
I finished this book a few days ago and have been obsessing over it in my mind ever since. Hooten Wilson (which is a delightfully fun name) is a brilliant scholar, excellent guide/teacher, and lover of Christ and the written word and all of that shows on every page.
This book is a call to look up from our screens and dive deep into the written word, both Scripture and literature. It is equal parts inspiring and practical. The robust and rich writing of the author is still easily accessible.
As one who grew up in love with books and reading, I moved to almost exclusively non-fiction in my adult years. This book inspired me to return to the beauty of fiction once again and to see the value of the written word as a way to love God, not just to gather and process information.
I will definitely be reading this one again.

Rich Academic Insight
Format: Hardcover
Near the beginning of "Reading for the Love of God," Jessica Hooten Wilson addresses why we should read fiction, responding to arguments in some Christian circles that we should only read the Bible. Other topics that she covers include the difference between using and enjoying books, how reading can help us develop greater virtue, and how we can rightly interpret books through the "trinity" of rightly balancing the text, the author's intent, and our own takeaways, instead of forcing the text to mean whatever we want. She also shares "bookmarks" between chapters about the reading lives of Augustine of Hippo, Julian of Norwich, Frederick Douglass, and Dorothy L. Sayers. These sections are thoughtful and encouraging, and the latter two are my favorite parts of the book.
There is a recommended reading list at the end that offers many wonderful selections, but I want to offer one quick warning. She includes the graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler's "Kindred" in her list for school-age readers, and although she mentions that it's more for the 10-12 age range, it is an adult book. The main character is an adult, and the graphic novel includes vivid on-page depictions of racial violence, attempted rape scenes, and a lot of talk about rape. Some older kids can handle that, but it would terrify others and was never intended for that age group.
Reading and the Bible
Hooten Wilson emphasizes that enhancing our reading skills through literature will help us better read, understand, and appreciate the Bible. She makes excellent points about how learning to read different literary genres will help with biblical interpretation, and she makes a convincing case for how practicing our interpretive skills and becoming more fluent with metaphor and other literary devices will enhance our experience with the Bible.
However, I felt that she sometimes went too far, making it sound like Bible-reading is an activity for the well-educated and well-practiced. God intended the Bible for everyone regardless of their socioeconomic class, abilities, or educational level, and even though reading the Bible badly can have negative consequences, this book focuses more on our own literary skills than the power of the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to us, convict us, and comfort us through Scripture. Hooten Wilson provides excellent next steps for people who want to deepen their relationship with the Bible, but I wished that she had articulated additional vital context around this.
Audience
This book is highly academic in content and tone, and even though I enjoyed this book and found it very enriching, it is only for serious readers. Hooten Wilson writes about highly abstract concepts in complex ways, and she often uses specialized vocabulary without explaining what she means. She also makes lots of references to monastic practices and obscure literary works that even highly bookish Christians are unlikely to be familiar with. This book shares rich scholarly perspectives, but it is not for reluctant or casual readers, especially since Hooten Wilson only acknowledges the worth of popular-level books in the special section on Dorothy L. Sayers.
It disappoints me that Christian books about reading are almost always written at such a lofty level that they are inaccessible to the people who need them most. I read hundreds of books every year, including dozens of academic ones, but I still felt that parts of the book were beyond me. If someone wants to begin getting more serious about reading, I would recommend Karen Swallow Prior's "On Reading Well" as a more accessible alternative with similar themes.
My other concern is that Hooten Wilson was always the expert in the anecdotes she shared, never the person learning something new. Only one anecdote bothered me in and of itself, and that is the chapter-opening illustration about a time when she set up an undergrad student for embarrassment to make a point during class. The other anecdotes don't involve power differentials and were perfectly fine, but taken together, they give the impression that the author needs to feel superior. I am sure this was unintentional, but I wish she had given examples of times that she lost an argument and learned something new.
Conclusion
Overall, I enjoyed "Reading for the Love of God," appreciating Hooten Wilson's unique insights and her scholarly perspective on the spiritual importance of reading. This book is deep and thoughtful, and there are a lot of important messages about reading great books to expand your mind, enhance your understanding of Scripture, and become closer to God. However, this book is so dense and academic that it is only for scholarly readers. I wish that this book could be an on-ramp for people who want to get more serious about reading, but it will probably just make them feel judged, lectured at, and so overwhelmed that they give up. This book has great value for people who inhabit the author's literary world or are so well-read that they can make the leap, but I hope that the she will consider ways to effectively reach popular audiences in the future.
