FEATURE | DESCRIPTION |
Port Mirroring | Port mirroring allows you to copy traffic going from one or all |
| ports to another or all ports in order that you can examine the |
| traffic from the mirror port (the port you copy the traffic to) |
| without interference. |
|
|
Link Aggregation | Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports |
| into one logical |
| ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple |
| links than to |
| |
|
|
STP (Spanning Tree | STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup |
Protocol) | links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a Switch to |
| interact with other |
| ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on |
| the network. |
|
|
Loop Guard | Use the loop guard feature to protect against network loops on |
| the edge of your network. |
|
|
IP Source Guard | Use IP source guard to filter unauthorized DHCP and ARP |
| packets in your network. |
|
|
Authentication | The Switch supports authentication services via RADIUS |
| servers. |
|
|
Device Management | Use the Web Configurator to easily configure the rich range of |
| features on the Switch. |
|
|
Firmware Upgrade | Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web |
| site and use the Web Configurator 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 | |
Restoration | the Switch later if you decide you want to revert back to an |
| earlier configuration. |
|
|
Logging | The Switch allows you to specify what information should be |
| logged and where it should be stored. It supports internal |
| logging as well as external logging via a syslog server. |
The following lists, which are not exhaustive, illustrate the standards supported in the Switch.
