FEATURE

DESCRIPTION

IP Source Guard

Use IP source guard to filter unauthorized ARP packets in your network.

 

 

Link Aggregation

Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one

 

logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if for example, it

 

is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-

 

speed, but more costly, single-port link.

 

 

Port Authentication and

For security, the Switch allows authentication using IEEE 802.1x with an

Security

external RADIUS server and port security that allows only packets with

 

dynamically learned MAC addresses and/or configured static MAC

 

addresses to pass through a port on the Switch.

 

 

Authentication and

The Switch supports authentication and accounting services via

Accounting

RADIUS and TACACS+ AAA servers.

 

 

Device Management

Use the web configurator or commands to easily configure the rich range

 

of features on the Switch.

 

 

Port Cloning

Use the port cloning feature to copy the settings you configure on one

 

port to another port or ports.

 

 

Syslog

The Switch can generate syslog messages and send it to a syslog

 

server.

 

 

Firmware Upgrade

Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web site and

 

use the web configurator, CLI or an FTP/TFTP tool to put it on the

 

Switch.

 

Note: Only upload firmware for your specific model!

 

 

 

Configuration Backup &

Make a copy of the Switch’s configuration and put it back on the Switch

Restoration

later if you decide you want to revert back to an earlier configuration.

 

 

 

Cluster Management

Cluster management (also known as iStacking) allows you to manage

 

switches through one switch, called the cluster manager. The switches

 

must be directly connected and be in the same VLAN group so as to be

 

able to communicate with one another.
