Overview of ZyXEL ES-1500 Series Switch
The ZyXEL ES-1500 SERIES SWITCH is a solution for workgroup and
enterprise users, and is designed for easy installation, high performance, and
seamless migration between 10Base-T, and 100Base-TX network speeds. The
switch includes 24 10/100 auto-negotiation, 2x 10/100/1000M auto-negotiation,
and 2x Giga-MiniSFP ports. They are all auto-MDI/MDIX ports and provide a
flexible, reliable, and affordable solution for an Ethernet network. Each port
delivers up to 200 Mbps or 2000Mbps throughput, which can give workstations
a larger, congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server or
backbone. The ES-1500 SERIES SWITCH features embedded advanced
management capabilities: the device can be managed via a user friendly
web-based user interface and thereby allowing the system manager to monitor
and control the system efficiently. In addition, ZyXEL ES-1500 SERIES
SWITCH can be expanded by cascading two or more switches together. The
switch is also ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into smaller,
connected subnets for improved performance, thereby enabling the bandwidth
required by today's networks for increasingly demanding applications of all
kinds. The switch is plug-and-play with no software to configure, and the
built-in universal power supply lets you easily install the switch without an
external power adapter.

Scenario
In our scenario, we have connected two SIP VoIP Phones and a PC to the
ZyXEL Extra Smart Switch. We want to make sure that all Voice over IP traffic
gets the highest priority on the Switch. Moreover, we want to make sure that
Denial of Service attacks will be blocked at this access Switch in case there
are attacks from the internal side.
