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
Security
For security, the Switch allows authentication using IEEE
802.1x with an 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,
Authorization and
Accounting
The Switch supports authentication, authorization and
accounting services via 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 &
Restoration
Make a copy of the Switch’s configuration and put it back on
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 Use sFlow to monitor traffic in a network and create reports for
network performance analysis and troubleshooting.
Dying Gasp Dying gasp allows you to monitor unexpected power down or
low power of the Switch.
Error Disable Error Disable allows you to take an action (such as to shut
down a port or stop sending packets) on a port when the
Switch detects a pre-configured error.
PPPoE IA PPPoE IA allows the Switch to add more subscriber information
to packets for the PPPoE server on a per-port basis.
Private VLAN Private VLAN allows you to block traffic between ports in a
VLAN on the Switch.
