CHAPTER 1

Getting to Know Your Switch

1.1 Introduction

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch.
The XGS2210 Series consists of the following models:
• XGS2210-28
• XGS2210-28HP
• XGS2210-52
• XGS2210-52HP
References to PoE models in this User's Guide only applies to XGS2210-28HP and XGS2210-52HP.
The Switch is a stackable, layer-2, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch with one power slot for single power supply. The Switch provides four SFP+ slots for uplink. By integrating router functions, the Switch performs wire-speed layer-3 routing in addition to layer-2 switching.
With its built-in Web Configurator, including the Zyxel One Network (ZON) Neighbor Management feature, viewing, managing and configuring the Switch and its neighboring devices is easy. The Switch can also be managed through Telnet, any terminal emulator program on the console port, or third-party SNMP management.
In addition, Zyxel offers a proprietary software program called Zyxel One Network (ZON) Utility, it is a utility tool that assists you to set up and maintain network devices in a more simple and efficient way. You can download the ZON Utility at www.zyxel.com and install it on a PC.
All models are referred to as the “Switch” in this guide.
The following table describes the port features of the Switch by model.
Table 1 Models and Port Features
SWITCH MODEL PORT FEATURES
XGS2210-28 and XGS2210-28HP • 24 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports
•4 SFP+ interfaces
XGS2210-52 and XGS2210-52HP • 48 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports
•4 SFP+ interfaces
The XGS2210-28HP and XGS2210-52HP come with a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) feature. The XGS2210­28HP and XGS2210-52HP support the IEEE 802.3at High Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard and IEEE

IEEE 802.3af PoE
IEEE 802.3 at High Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power management mode – Classification
Power management mode – Consumption
Total PoE budget – 375 watts (see Section 8.8 on page 106 for details)
For example, if an IP camera requires 25 watts power on average, then the Switch can supply PoE to up to 15 IP cameras.
In addition, Zyxel offers a proprietary software program called Zyxel One Network (ZON) Utility, it is a utility tool that assists you to set up and maintain network devices in a more simple and efficient way. You can download the ZON Utility at www.zyxel.com and install it on a PC (Windows operation system). For more information on ZON Utility see Section 4.3 on page 47.
1.1.2 Web Configurator Networked AV Mode
Aside from the Web Configurator in Standard mode, you can switch to Networked AV mode that is specifically designed to simplify configuration and management of the Switch for AVoIP (Audio-Video over Internet Protocol) application. In AV over IP, the AV transmitter is the transmitter, the AV receiver is the receiver, and the matrix switch is a standard IP Switch. See Section 4.4 on page 51 for details on using the Setup Wizard screen for configuring the Switch’s Networked AV mode’s basic and advanced settings.

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 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.

1.2.2 Bridging 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 3 Bridging Application
1.2.3 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.

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
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.
Figure 4 High Performance Switched Workgroup Application
1.2.4 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.
1.2.4.1 Tag-based VLAN Example
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain thus 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.

1.3 Ways to Manage the Switch

Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported) web browser. See Chapter 4 on page 43.
• 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
49.9.1 on page 468.
• SNMP. The Switch can be monitored and/or managed by an SNMP manager. See Section 50.7.1 on
page 481.
• Cluster Management. Cluster Management allows you to manage multiple switches through one switch, called the cluster manager. See Chapter 54 on page 502.
• 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 47.

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.

Hardware Installation and
This chapter shows you how to install and connect the Switch.
The Switch can be:
• Placed on a desktop.
• Rack-mounted on a standard EIA rack.

2.1 Safety Precautions

CHAPTER 2
Connection
Please observe the following before using the Switch:
• It is recommended to ask an authorized technician to attach the Switch on a desk or to the rack or wall. Use the proper screws to prevent damage to the Switch. See the Installation Requirements sections in this chapter to know the types of screws and screwdrivers for each mounting method.
• Make sure there is at least 2 cm of clearance on the top and bottom of the Switch, and at least 5 cm of clearance on all four sides of the Switch. This allows air circulation for cooling.
• Do NOT block the ventilation holes nor store cables or power cords on the Switch. Allow clearance for the ventilation holes to prevent your Switch from overheating. This is especially crucial when your Switch does not have fans. Overheating could affect the performance of your Switch, or even damage it.
• The surface of the Switch could be hot when it is functioning. Do NOT put your hands on it. You may get burned. This could happen especially when you are using a fanless Switch.
• The Switches with fans are not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.
To start using the Switch, simply connect the power cables and turn it on.

2.2 Freestanding Installation Procedure

1 Make sure the Switch is clean and dry.
2 Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
3 Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These rubber feet help protect the
Switch from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking.
