FEATURE | DESCRIPTION |
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 | |
Restoration | the Switch 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. |
|
|
sFlow | sFlow allows the Switch to monitor traffic in a network by |
| getting sample data and packet statistics from traffic, and send |
| information to an sFlow collector for analysis. |

| give a PPPoE termination server additional subscriber |
| information that the server can use to identify and authenticate |
| a PPPoE client. |

| a port or stop sending packets) on a port when the Switch |
| detects a |
| Switch to automatically undo the action after the error is gone. |
|
|
Private VLAN | You can set the Switch to prevent communications between |
| ports in a VLAN to do port isolation within a VLAN. |
|
|
Policy Routing | Policy routing lets you override the default routing behavior and |

|
|
ARP Learning | You can configure the Switch to update the ARP table with with |
| an ARP reply or a gratuitous ARP request and/or an APR |
