CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your Switch
1.1 Introduction
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch.
The GS2220 Series consists of the following models:
• GS2220-10
• GS2220-10HP
• GS2220-28
• GS2220-28HP
• GS2220-50
• GS2220-50HP
References to PoE models in this User's Guide only apply to GS2220-10HP, GS2220-28HP and GS222050HP.
The Switch is a layer-2 Ethernet switch that only does switching.
The Switch supports NebulaFlex which can set the Switch to operate in either standalone or Nebula
cloud management mode. When the Switch is in standalone mode, it can be configured and
managed by the Web Configurator, through Telnet, any terminal emulator program using the
Command Line Interface (CLI), or through third-party SNMP management. When the Switch is in Nebula
cloud management mode, it can be managed and provisioned by the Zyxel Nebula Control Center
(NCC).
All models are referred to as the “Switch” in this guide.
The following table describes the hardware features of the Switch by model.

1.1.1 Management Method
With its built-in Web Configurator, managing and configuring the Switch is easy. In addition, the Switch
can also be managed through Telnet, any terminal emulator program using the Command Line
Interface (CLI), or third-party SNMP management.
1.1.2 Management Modes
NebulaFlex means you can set the Switch to operate in either standalone or cloud mode (but not both
at the same time).
Use the Web Configurator to configure and manage the Switch directly in standalone mode or use
Nebula Control Center (NCC) to configure and manage the Switch in cloud mode. The Nebula Control
Center (NCC) is an alternative cloud-based network management system that allows you to remotely
manage and monitor the Switch. You may also access a minimized version of the Web Configurator in
cloud mode.
Nebula Cloud Management
To have Nebula manage the Switch, you must first register it at the Nebula web portal at https://
nebula.zyxel.com, and ensure that Nebula Control Center Discovery is enabled in Basic Setting > Cloud
Management > Nebula Control Center Discovery in the Switch Web Configurator.
Note: See the Switch’s datasheet for the feature differences between standalone and
Nebula cloud management modes. You can find the Switch’s datasheet at the Zyxel

1.1.6 PoE
The Switch is a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) because it provides a source of power through its
Ethernet ports. Each device that receives power through an Ethernet port is a Powered Device (PD).
The Switch can adjust the power supplied to each PD according to the PoE standard the PD supports.
PoE standards are:
• IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) +
• IEEE 802.3bt Power over Ethernet (PoE) ++
The following table describes the PoE features of the Switch by model.

1.2 Example Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments. Note that the
Switch in the figure is just an example Switch and not your actual Switch.
1.2.1 PoE Example Application
The following example figure shows a Switch supplying PoE (Power over Ethernet) to Powered Devices
(PDs) such as an IP camera, a wireless router, an IP telephone and a general outdoor router that are not
within reach of a power outlet.
GS2220 Series User’s Guide
28
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
Figure 3 PoE Example Application
1.2.2 Backbone Example Application
The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future.
The Switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers and
servers directly to the Switch’s port or connect other switches to the Switch.
In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network,
simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers, and so on.
Figure 4 Backbone Application
GS2220 Series User’s Guide
29
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
1.2.3 Bridging or Fiber Uplink Example Application
In this example, the Switch connects different company departments (RD and Sales) to the corporate
backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All
users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers through the Switch.
You can provide a super-fast uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet or SFP port on the Switch.
Moreover, the Switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize
multiple servers at a single location.
Figure 5 Bridging or Fiber Uplink Example Application
1.2.4 High Performance Switching Example
The Switch is ideal for connecting two networks that need high bandwidth. In the following example, use
link aggregation (trunking) to connect these two networks.
Switching to higher-speed LANs such as ATM (Asynchronous Transmission Mode) is not feasible for most
people due to the expense of replacing all existing Ethernet cables and adapter cards, restructuring
your network and complex maintenance. The Switch can provide the same bandwidth as ATM at much
lower cost while still being able to use existing adapters and switches. Moreover, the current LAN
structure can be retained as all ports can freely communicate with each other.
This helps you switch to higher-speed LANs without the need for replacing all existing Ethernet cables
and adapter cards, restructuring your network and complex maintenance.

Figure 6 High Performance Switched Workgroup Application
1.2.5 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application Examples
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical
networks. Stations on a logical network belong to one or more groups. With VLAN, a station cannot
directly talk to or hear from stations that are not in the same groups unless such traffic first goes through
a router.
1.2.5.1 Tag-based VLAN Example
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain thereby increase network
performance through reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding,
moving or changing ports without any re-cabling.
Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server. In the
following figure only ports that need access to the server need to be part of VLAN 1. Ports can belong to
other VLAN groups too.
Figure 7 Shared Server Using VLAN Example
1.2.6 IPv6 Support
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and features. The increase in
IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 10
of writing, the Switch supports the following features.
• Static address assignment
• Neighbor Discovery Protocol (a protocol used to discover other IPv6 devices in a network)
• Remote Management using ping, SNMP, SSH, telnet, HTTP and FTP services

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
• ICMPv6 to report errors encountered in packet processing and perform diagnostic functions, such as
"ping”
• IPv4/IPv6 dual stack; the Switch can run IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time
• DHCPv6 client and relay
• Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping and proxy
For more information on IPv6, refer to Appendix C on page 535 and the CLI Reference Guide.
1.3 Ways to Manage the Switch
Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch.
• NCC (Zyxel Nebula Control Center). With the NCC, you can remotely manage and monitor the
Switch through a cloud-based network management system. See the NCC User’s Guide for detailed
information about how to access the NCC and manage your Switch through the NCC. See the NCC
User’s Guide for how to configure Nebula managed devices.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported)
web browser. See Chapter 4 on page 51.
• Command Line Interface. Line commands offer an alternative to the Web Configurator and in some
cases are necessary to configure advanced features. See the CLI Reference Guide.
• FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup or restore. See Section
46.9.1 on page 404.
• SNMP. The Switch can be monitored and/or managed by an SNMP manager. See Section 47.7.1 on
page 417.
• Cluster Management. Cluster Management allows you to manage multiple switches through one
switch, called the cluster manager. See Chapter 51 on page 438.
• ZON Utility. ZON Utility is a program designed to help you deploy and perform initial setup on a
network more efficiently. See Section 4.3 on page 55.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the Switch
Do the following regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage the Switch more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that is not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your
password, you will have to reset the Switch to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the Switch. You could simply restore your
last configuration.

Switch using the command line interface (CLI) through the console port.
3.1.1 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The Switch has 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet, the speed can be 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. The duplex mode can be half duplex or
full duplex.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000 Mbps)
and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device.
An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or crossover
Ethernet cable.
Four 1000Base-T Ethernet ports are paired with an SFP slot to create a dual personality interface. The
Switch uses up to one connection for each SFP and 1000Base-T Ethernet pair. The SFP slots have priority
over the Gigabit ports. This means that if an SFP slot and the corresponding GbE port are connected at
the same time, the GbE port will be disabled.
GS2220 Series User’s Guide
40
Chapter 3 Hardware Panels
Note: The dual personality ports change to fiber mode directly when inserting the fiber
module.
When auto-negotiation is turned on, an Ethernet port negotiates with the peer automatically to
determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer Ethernet port does not support autonegotiation or turns off this feature, the Switch determines the connection speed by detecting the signal
on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the Switch’s auto-negotiation is turned off, an Ethernet
port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thereby requiring
you to make sure that the settings of the peer Ethernet port are the same in order to connect.
3.1.1.1 Default Ethernet Negotiation Settings
The factory default negotiation settings for the Gigabit ports on the Switch are:
• Speed: Auto
•Duplex: Auto
• Flow control: Off
• Dual Personality Interface: Fiber module first
3.1.1.2 Auto-crossover
All ports support auto-crossover, that is auto-MDIX ports (Media Dependent Interface Crossover), so you
may use either a straight-through Ethernet cable or crossover Ethernet cable for all Gigabit port
connections. Auto-crossover ports automatically sense whether they need to function as crossover or
straight ports, so crossover cables can connect both computers and switches or hubs.
3.1.2 PoE (GS2220-10HP, GS2220-28HP and GS2220-50HP)
The Switch supports the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE)
plusPower over Ethernet (PoE) plus plus . The Switch is a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) because it
provides a source of power through its Ethernet ports. Each device that receives power through an
Ethernet port is a Powered Device (PD).
3.1.3 SFP Slots
These are slots for SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceivers. A transceiver is a single unit that
houses a transmitter and a receiver. The Switch does not come with transceivers. You must use
transceivers that comply with the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement
(MSA). See the SFF committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.
You can change transceivers while the Switch is operating. You can use different transceivers to
connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber or even copper cable connectors.
• Type: SFP connection interface
• Connection speed: 100/1000 Mbps
WARNING! To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating
fiber module’s connectors.
HANDLING! All transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent damage from
electrostatic discharge (ESD), it is recommended you attach an ESD
GS2220 Series User’s Guide

preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface when
you install or remove a transceiver.
STORAGE! All modules are dust sensitive. When not in use, always keep
the dust plug on. Avoid getting dust and other contaminant into the
optical bores, as the optics do not work correctly when obstructed with
dust.
3.1.3.1 Transceiver Installation
Use the following steps to install a transceiver.
1 Attach an ESD preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
2 Align the transceiver in front of the slot opening.
3 Make sure the latch is in the lock position (latch styles vary), then insert the transceiver into the slot with
the exposed section of PCB board facing down.
4 Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place.
5 The Switch automatically detects the installed transceiver. Check the LEDs to verify that it is functioning
properly.

3.2.1 Grounding
Grounding is a safety measure to direct excess electric charge to the ground. It prevents damage to
the Switch, and protects you from electrocution. Use the grounding screw on the rear panel and the
ground wire of the AC power supply to ground the Switch.
The grounding terminal and AC power ground where you install the Switch must follow your country’s
regulations. Qualified service personnel must ensure the building’s protective earthing terminals are
valid terminals.
Chapter 3 Hardware Panels
Installation of Ethernet cables must be separate from AC power lines. To avoid electric surge and
electromagnetic interference, use a different electrical conduit or raceway (tube/trough or enclosed
conduit for protecting electric wiring) that is 15 cm apart, or as specified by your country’s electrical
regulations.
Any device that is located outdoors and connected to this product must be properly grounded and
surge protected. To the extent permissible by your country’s applicable law, failure to follow these
guidelines could result in damage to your Switch which may not be covered by its warranty.
Note: The specification for surge or ESD protection assumes that the Switch is properly
grounded.
1 Remove the M4 ground screw from the Switch’s rear panel.
2 Secure a green or yellow ground cable (16 AWG or smaller) to the Switch's rear panel using the M4
ground screw.

device responds back with basic information including IP address, firmware version, location, system
and model name in the same broadcast domain. The information is then displayed in the ZON Utility
screen and you can perform tasks like basic configuration of the devices and batch firmware upgrade
in it. You can download the ZON Utility at www.zyxel.com and install it in a computer (Windows

5.1 Overview
This chapter shows how to set up the Switch for an example network.
The following lists the configuration steps for the initial setup:
• Create a VLAN
• Set Port VID
• Configure Switch Management IP Address
Chapter 5 Initial Setup Example
CHAPTER 5
Initial Setup Example
5.1.1 Create a VLAN
VLANs confine broadcast frames to the VLAN group in which the ports belongs. You can do this with
port-based VLAN or tagged static VLAN with fixed port members.
In this example, you want to configure port 1 as a member of VLAN 2.
Figure 56 Initial Setup Network Example: VLAN
1 Click Advanced Application > VLAN > VLAN Configuration in the navigation panel and click the Static
VLAN Setup link.
GS2220 Series User’s Guide

Chapter 5 Initial Setup Example
2 In the Static VLAN screen, select ACTIVE, enter a descriptive name in the Name field and enter 2 in the
VLAN Group ID field for the VLAN2 network.
Note: The VLAN Group ID field in this screen and the VID field in the IP Setup screen refer to the
same VLAN ID.
3 Since the VLAN2 network is connected to port 1 on the Switch, select Fixed to configure port 1 to be a
permanent member of the VLAN only.
4 To ensure that VLAN-unaware devices (such as computers and hubs) can receive frames properly, clear
the TX Tagging check box to set the Switch to remove VLAN tags before sending.
GS2220 Series User’s Guide
81
5 Click Add to save the settings to the run-time memory. Settings in the run-time memory are lost when the
Switch’s power is turned off.
5.1.2 Set Port VID
Use PVID to add a tag to incoming untagged frames received on that port so that the frames are
forwarded to the VLAN group that the tag defines.
In the example network, configure 2 as the port VID on port 1 so that any untagged frames received on
that port get sent to VLAN 2.

Settings in the run-time memory are lost when the Switch’s power is turned off.
5.1.3 Configure Switch Management IP Address
If the Switch fails to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, the Switch will use 192.168.1.1 as the
management IP address. You can configure another IP address in a different subnet for management
purposes. The following figure shows an example.
Figure 58 Initial Setup Example: Management IP Address
1 Connect your computer to any Ethernet port on the Switch. Make sure your computer is in the same
subnet as the Switch.
2 Open your web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 (the default IP address) in the address bar to access the
Web Configurator. See Section 4.2 on page 51 for more information.

6.3 How to Use DHCPv4 Relay on the Switch
This tutorial describes how to configure your Switch to forward DHCP client requests to a specific DHCP
server. The DHCP server can then assign a specific IP address based on the information in the DHCP
requests.
6.3.1 DHCP Relay Tutorial Introduction
In this example, you have configured your DHCP server (192.168.2.3) and want to have it assign a
specific IP address (say 172.16.1.18) to DHCP client A based on the system name, VLAN ID and port
number in the DHCP request. Client A connects to the Switch’s port 2 in VLAN 102.

GS2220 Series User’s Guide
92
Chapter 6 Tutorials
1 Client A is connected to the Switch’s port 2 in VLAN 102.
2 You configured the correct VLAN ID, port number and system name for DHCP relay on both the DHCP
server and the Switch.
3 You clicked the Save link on the Switch to have your settings take effect.
6.4 How to Use Auto Configuration through a DHCP Server on the Switch
Follow the steps below to set up configurations on a DHCP server, TFTP server, and the Switch, so you
can load an auto configuration file automatically from a TFTP server when you reboot the Switch.
Note that you can set up a DHCP server and TFTP server either on the same device or different devices.
Also, make sure the Switch can communicate with the TFTP server.
Note: Steps order could vary according to different programs you use.
Note: You need to set up configurations on a DHCP server and TFTP server first to use auto
configuration.
Setting up a DHCP Server
1 Set up a dynamic IP addresses pool so the DHCP server will assign an IP address to the Switch in that
range.
2 Set up a TFTP server IP address, so the Switch will know where to load the auto configuration file.
3 Set up the filename of the auto configuration file, so the Switch will know which file to load when you
reboot the Switch.
• Enter the filename of an auto configuration file. The Switch will load this auto configuration file
when rebooting with DHCP option 60 disabled.
• If you want to load the auto configuration file with DHCP option 60 enabled and a Vendor Class
Identifier assigned when you reboot the Switch, follow the instruction below. Otherwise, skip this
step.
Enter the filename of an auto configuration file. Set up a Vendor Class Identifier. To have the
