Switch 2200 Series

The ZyXEL Gigabit Switch 2200 Series consists of three switches: the ZyXEL GS2200-24, GS2200-24P and GS2200-48.

The GS2200-24 and GS2200-24P deliver 24 port 100/1000Base-T, 100/1000Base-T PoE with 4 GbE dual-personalities. The GS2200-48 is an intelligent high-density Layer-2 managed switch with 44 100/1000Base-T ports, 4 GbE dual-personality ports and 2 GbE SFP open slots.

The 2200 Series provides high-performance and secure 100/1000 connectivity, access resiliency and security, as well as Traffic Management and QoS functionalities. Feature-rich and easy-to-use, the 2200 Series is specially designed for branch offices or SME users.

Key Benefits

High performance switch architecture for SME

The ZyXEL 2200 Series incorporates a high-performance switching architecture that provides

56/100 Gbps non-blocking switch fabric (GS2200-24/24P: 56 Gbps, GS2200-48: 100 Gbps), 41.7/74.4 million

packets per-second forwarding rate (GS2200-24/24P: 41.7 Mpps, GS2200-48: 74.4 Mpps) and wire-speed performance to connect high performance desktop devices with resources at the heart of the network. For branch offices and SME users, the 2200 Series enables the delivery of converged applications and adapts to changing business needs with flexible configurations. In addition, the ZyXEL 2200 Series is optimised for high-density Gigabit Ethernet deployments and is suitable for both the core and the edge of the network.

Secure enhanced management functionality

The ZyXEL 2200 Series is easy to use and manage the applications that are needed to support the business and increase productivity. ZyXEL iStacking™ clustering management technology can manage devices across different floors and routing domains to locate other iStacking-capable switches in the same management cluster. This allows administrators to manage 24 switches with one single IP address. This greatly reduces operating costs and offers more flexible maintenance of ZyXEL Switches. IT staff can opt for the Web or command line interface to suit their needs, and even encrypt their instructions with SSHv1/v2 and SSL. With these sophisticated functionalities, the IT staff is empowered to build a highly secure and efficient corporate network with minimum effort.

Future proof networking with minimum disruption

The ZyXEL 2200 Series provides rich features including VLANs, CoS/QoS, Port Trunking, Rapid Spanning Tree, Security (Port Security and 802.1x authentication) and network management to meet evolving SME requirements. Meanwhile, it delivers the most cost-effective Gigabit Ethernet solution to empower Gigabit converged networking for branch offices and SME users.

Intelligent PoE for cost saving (GS2200-24P only)

ZyXEL’s Intelligent PoE features provide two power supply modes:

-Classification mode: the switch reserves the maximum power (W) to each powered device (PD) according to the priority levels.

-Consumption mode: the switch manages the entire power supply, so each connected PD gets the actual power it needs.

In the Consumption Mode, ZyXEL’s Intelligent PoE will reserve the required power automatically, and you can set power feeding priorities on different ports to get the best use of power resource. This capability can increase the number of devices connected and deliver a better ROI for the business.

The GS2200-24P provides a total power budget of up to 220 W as default. With the PPS250 external PoE power supply, the GS2200-24P can provide 15.4 W per port to 24 PoE ports simultaneously.
