SMB Networks

Delivering Secure Convergence within the SMB Network

The ZyXEL ES-2724 is designed for SMB networks to realize multifunctional and flexible connectivity.

In addition to L2 switching, the ES-2724 offers L3 routing for specialized applications to be handled that makes the ES-2724 an one-device, cost-effective platform for a SMB to build a combined L2 switching and L3 routing network. Moreover, the ES-2724 offers prioritization of applications such as VoIP and security with QoS configured through the ES-2724 network management tools.

Secure Multi-Service Delivery Quality

To harness multiple services such as VoIP, video conferencing and video streaming in business environments, the ES-2724 is equipped with valued-added features for optimized traffic prioritization. The combination of eight priority queues and the WFQ scheduling algorithm guarantees the quality of time-sensitive applications, while different services can be assigned to specific VLANs and configured with different priorities for traffic management. The ES-2724 comes with Multi-layer ACLs that provides L2/L3/L4 indicators for enforcing policy management on traffics.

Enhanced Multi-layer Security Protection

The ES-2724 is capable of strict security protection. For example, intrusion lock deters intruders while MAC freeze, static MAC forwarding and MAC filtering provides MAC address-based protection. 802.1Q VLAN divides the network traffic into different virtual LANs to protect business-critical information. Multi-layer ACL provides L2/L3/L4 indicators for policy management and security protection. In terms of access authentication, 802.1x supported for centralized management, and 802.1x further facilitates VLAN and bandwidth allocation.

ES-2724 specifications

ZyXEL Communications is known for its innovative networking solutions, and the ES-2724 is a standout product in their line of Ethernet switches. The ZyXEL ES-2724 is a managed L2 switch that offers exceptional performance and reliability, making it an ideal choice for small to medium-sized enterprises and businesses looking to enhance their networking capabilities.

One of the primary features of the ES-2724 is its 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which enable high-speed data transfer and provide sufficient bandwidth for multiple connected devices. This makes it perfect for environments that require robust connectivity, such as office networks, educational institutions, and data centers. Additionally, the switch supports a number of advanced Layer 2 features, including VLAN, STP (Spanning Tree Protocol), and Link Aggregation, which help in optimizing network traffic and improving overall efficiency.

In terms of management capabilities, the ES-2724 provides a user-friendly web-based interface, allowing network administrators to easily configure and monitor settings. The switch supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which facilitates network management and monitoring through centralized management systems. Moreover, the ES-2724 supports QoS (Quality of Service) features, enabling prioritization of critical data traffic, which is essential for businesses using VoIP and video conferencing applications.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is another significant advantage of the ES-2724. This feature allows the switch to deliver power directly to PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without needing additional power sources, simplifying installation and reducing equipment clutter.

The ES-2724 is also designed with a focus on security. It includes various security features such as port security, DHCP snooping, and access control lists, ensuring that sensitive data is protected from unauthorized access and potential threats. This combination of performance, reliability, and security makes the ZyXEL ES-2724 a compelling choice for organizations aiming to build a robust networking infrastructure.

In summary, the ZyXEL Communications ES-2724 is a highly capable managed L2 switch that combines advanced features and technologies to meet the demands of modern networking environments. With its high-speed connectivity, user-friendly management, PoE support, and security measures, it stands out as a valuable asset for businesses seeking enhanced network performance and efficiency.
