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
802.3af PoE standard.

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.
XGS2210 Series User’s Guide
26
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
Figure 2 Backbone Application
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.
XGS2210 Series User’s Guide
27
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.

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.
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 auto-
XGS2210 Series User’s Guide

Chapter 3 Hardware Panels
negotiation 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, thus 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
• Link Aggregation: Disabled
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 SFP/SFP+ Slots
These are four slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or SFP+ modules, such as an SFP or SFP+
transceiver. The SFP+ (SFP Plus) is an enhanced version of the SFP and supports data rates of 10 Gbps. A
transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a transceiver to connect a fiber
cable to the Switch. 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 connectors.
• Type: SFP or SFP+ connection interface
• Connection speed: 1 or 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
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
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.
3.1.2.1 Transceiver Installation
Use the following steps to install a transceiver.
XGS2210 Series User’s Guide

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.
Chapter 3 Hardware Panels
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.
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.

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 49 Initial Setup Network Example: VLAN
1 Click Advanced Application > VLAN > VLAN Configuration in the navigation panel and click the Static
VLAN Setup link.
XGS2210 Series User’s Guide
72
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. Use the
default VLAN type Normal, in the VLAN Type field.
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.
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.

time memory. 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.
XGS2210 Series User’s Guide
74

8.4 Introduction to VLANs
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical
networks. Devices on a logical network belong to one group. A device can belong to more than one
group. With VLAN, a device cannot directly talk to or hear from devices that are not in the same groups;
the traffic must first go through a router.
In MTU (Multi-Tenant Unit) applications, VLAN is vital in providing isolation and security among the
subscribers. When properly configured, VLAN prevents one subscriber from accessing the network
resources of another on the same LAN, thus a user will NOT see the printers and hard disks of another
user in the same building.
VLAN also increases network performance by limiting broadcasts to a smaller and more manageable
logical broadcast domain. In traditional switched environments, all broadcast packets go to each and
every individual port. With VLAN, all broadcasts are confined to a specific broadcast domain.
XGS2210 Series User’s Guide

Note: VLAN is unidirectional; it only governs outgoing traffic.

GARP Timer: Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a Join message using
GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message. A Leave All message terminates all registrations.
GARP timers set declaration timeout values. See the chapter on VLAN setup for more background information.

Priority Queue Assignment
IEEE 802.1p defines up to eight separate traffic types by inserting a tag into a MAC-layer frame that contains bits to
define class of service. Frames without an explicit priority tag are given the default priority of the ingress port. Use
the next fields to configure the priority level-to-physical queue mapping.
Choose 802.1Q or Port Based. The VLAN Setup screen changes depending on whether you
choose 802.1Q VLAN type or Port Based VLAN type in this screen.
The Switch does not have port-based VLAN available in stacking mode (Active is enabled in
Basic Setting > Stacking > Configuration), so this field does not display in stacking mode.
Select Active to allow the Switch to handle bridging control protocols (STP, for example). You
also need to define how to treat a BPDU in the Port Setup screen.

has a single Leave All Period timer. Leave All Timer must be larger than Leave Timer.
The Switch has eight physical queues that you can map to the eight priority levels. On the Switch, traffic assigned to
higher index queues gets through faster while traffic in lower index queues is dropped if the network is congested.
Priority Level (The following descriptions are based on the traffic types defined in the IEEE 802.1d standard (which
incorporates the 802.1p).
To map a priority level to a physical queue, select a physical queue from the drop-down menu on the right.
Priority 7 Typically used for network control traffic such as router configuration messages.
Priority 6 Typically used for voice traffic that is especially sensitive to jitter (jitter is the variations in delay).
Priority 5 Typically used for video that consumes high bandwidth and is sensitive to jitter.
Priority 4 Typically used for controlled load, latency-sensitive traffic such as SNA (Systems Network
Architecture) transactions.
Priority 3 Typically used for “excellent effort” or better than best effort and would include important
business traffic that can tolerate some delay.
Priority 2 This is for “spare bandwidth”.
Priority 1 This is typically used for non-critical “background” traffic such as bulk transfers that are allowed
but that should not affect other applications and users.

8.6 IP Setup
Use the IP Setup screen to configure the default gateway device, the default domain name server and
add IP domains.
The Switch needs an IP address for it to be managed over the network. When the Switch (in Standalone
mode) fails to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, the static IP address 192.168.1.1 will be
automatically added and used as the Switch’s management IP address.
You can configure up to 32 IP domains which are used to access and manage the Switch from the ports
belonging to the pre-defined VLANs.

addresses simultaneously.
