Performance

•24Gbps non-blocking switching fabric •17.8 million packet-per-second

forwarding rate

•Flexible design for both Gigabit copper and Gigabit fiber connectivity

•1488000pps forwarding rate for 1000Base- T/1000Base-S connectivity, 148800pps forwarding rate for 100Base-Tx connectivity

•Wire-speed performance

MAC and Packet Buffer

•16K MAC entries

•8Mbits packet buffer

Access Control List

•Wire speed filtering per MAC/IP/TCP/UDP

•Wire speed rate limiting per MAC/IP/TCP/UDP

•Wire speed mirroring per MAC/IP/TCP/UDP

Traffic Management and QoS

•IEEE 802.1p

•8 egress queues per port for different

types of traffic

•WFQ (Weighted Fair Queue) scheduling for different prioritization of packets

•Strict priority queuing for highest priority packets to get best service

•IEEE 802.1Q tag-based and

port-based VLAN

•256 static VLAN, up to 4K dynamic VLAN

•Support GVRP, automatic VLAN member registration

•Supports jumbo frame, up to 9K Bytes

•Supports IGMP snooping

•Congestion control on all ports

Rate Limiting

•Allow bandwidth to be shaped in steps at 1Mbps

•Rate limiting based on combination of L2/L3/L4 fields using ACL

Link Aggregation

•IEEE 802.3ad compliant

•Support LACP, static and dynamic link aggregation

•Up to 6 aggregation groups

•8 ports per group randomly selected

Redundancy for Fault Backup

•IEEE802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)(provides rapid convergence of spanning tree independent of spanning- tree timer)

•Supports ZyXEL Backup Power System (BPS) (that provides internal power source redundancy, improve fault tolerance)

User Security and Authentication

•MAC filtering per port secures access to each port

•Specific MAC forwarding per port: only specified MAC addresses can access the network (port lock)

•Limit the number of MAC address per port

•802.1x port-based security, prevent unauthorized client access to the network

•Private VLAN provides security and isolation between ports on a switch,

ensures that users can not snoop on each other’s traffic

Network Administration Security

•User name/password required for web/telnet/local console administrators

•Two level security by specific SNMP read/write community

•SSH provides network security by encrypting administration traffic (*)

Network Management

•Supports ZyXEL iStacking™, up to 24 switches can be managed by one IP

•Web-based management

•Telnet CLI

•SNMP v2c

•RS-232c Local console

•IP management: static IP or DHCP client
