1.1 Introduction
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch. The XS1920 Series
consist of the following models at the time of writing:
• XS1920-12
The Switch is a 10G Ethernet web-managed switch with layer-2, layer-3, and layer-4 features.
With its built-in web configurator, including the ZyXEL One Network (ZON) Neighbor Management
feature (Section 7.3 on page 56), viewing, managing and configuring the Switch and its
neighboring devices is easy. The Switch can also be managed via third-party SNMP management.
ZyXEL One Network (ZON) Utility is a tool that lets set up and maintain network devices in a simple
and efficient way. You can download the ZON Utility at www.zyxel.com and install it on a computer.
For more information on the ZON Utility see Section 7.3 on page 56.
CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your Switch
The following table describes the port features of the 10G Switch. 100Mbps connections are not
guaranteed.
Table 1 Port Features
SWITCH MODEL PORT FEATURES
XS1920-12 • 12 10 Gbps Ethernet ports
• 2 1G/10G SFP+fiber ports
The next section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments.
1.1.1 Backbone 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
etc.
XS1920 Series User’s Guide
19
Figure 1 Backbone Application
1.1.2 Bridging Example
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 via
the Switch. You can provide a super-fast uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet/mini-GBIC
port on the Switch.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
Moreover, the Switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to
centralize multiple servers at a single location.
Figure 2 Bridging Application
1.1.3 High Performance Switching Example
The Switch is ideal for connecting two networks that need high bandwidth. In the following
example, use 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
XS1920 Series User’s Guide
20
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
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 3 High Performance Switched Workgroup Application
1.1.4 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 group. A station can belong to more than one
group. With VLAN, a station cannot directly talk to or hear from stations that are not in the same
group(s) unless such traffic first goes through a router.
For more information on VLANs, refer to Chapter 9 on page 92.
1.1.4.1 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.
Figure 4 Shared Server Using VLAN Example

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
1.2 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 33.
• FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See Section 39.3.1 on
page 340.
• SNMP. The Switch can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See Section 40.5 on page 350.
• Cluster Management. Cluster Management allows you to manage multiple switches through one
switch, called the cluster manager. See Chapter 44 on page 367.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the Switch
Do the following things regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage the Switch more
effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s 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 Sw itch. Y ou
could simply restore your last configuration. See Section 3.4 on page 30 for how to reset the
Switch.

CHAPTER 2
Hardware Installation and Connection
2.1 Installation Scenarios
This chapter shows you how to install and connect the Switch.
The Switch can be placed on a desktop or rack-mounted on a standard EIA rack. Use the rubber
feet in a desktop installation and the brackets in a rack-mounted installation.
Note: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front and
3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the Switch. This is especially important for
enclosed rack installations.
2.2 Desktop Installation Procedure
1 Make sure the Switch is clean and dry.
2 Set the Switch on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the Switch and
the connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.
3 Make sure there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow air circulation and the attachment
of cables and the power cord.
2.3 Rack Mounting
The Switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other
equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your Switch on a standard EIA rack using a rackmounting kit.
2.3.1 Rack-mounted Installation Requirements
• Two mounting brackets.
• Eight M3 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
• Four M5 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.
2.3.1.1 Precautions
• Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it contains.
XS1920 Series User’s Guide
23
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection
• Make sure the position of the Switch does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all
necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.
2.3.2 Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch
1 Position a mounting bracket on one side of the Switch, lining up the four screw holes on the br acket
with the screw holes on the side of the Switch.
Figure 5 Attaching the Mounting Brackets
2 Using a #2 Philips screwdriver, install the M3 flat head screws through the mounting bracket holes
into the Switch.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the second mounting bracket on the other side of the Switch.
4 You may now mount the Switch on a rack. Proceed to the next section.
2.3.3 Mounting the Switch on a Rack
1 Position a mounting bracket (that is already attached to the Switch) on one side of the rack, lining
up the two screw holes on the bracket with the screw holes on the side of the rack.

backbone Ethernet switches.
3.1.1 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Ports 1-10 on the Switch are 100Mbps/1Gbps/10Gbps auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet
ports with full duplex support.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed of the connected
device. Auto-1000M / Full-Duplex supports Ethernet and fiber connections at 100Mbps or
XS1920 Series User’s Guide
26
Chapter 3 Hardware Panels
1000Mbps (1Gbps) full-duplex mode. Auto-10G / Full-Duplex supports Ethernet connections at
100Mbps, 1000Mbps or 10Gbps full-duplex mode and 10Gbps only for fiber connections.
When auto-negotiation is turned on, an Ethernet port negotiates with the peer automatically to
determine the connection speed. If the peer Ethernet port does not support auto-negotiation or
turns off this feature, the Switch determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the
cable. When the Switch’s auto-negotiation is turned off, an Ethernet port uses the pre-configured
speed 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.
An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a str aight -through or crossov er
Ethernet cable.
Ports 11 and 12 are Ethernet ports paired with Ports 11 and 12 SGP/SFP+ (fiber) slots. The Switch
uses one of either the Ethernet or fiber connection with the fiber connection having priority if the
corresponding Ethernet port is also connected. This means that if Port 11 fiber slot and Port 11
Ethernet port are connected at the same time, then Ethernet port 11 will be disabled. Ethernet and
fiber ports 12 work the same way.
3.1.1.1 Default Ethernet Negotiation Settings
The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the Switch are:
• Speed: Auto
•Duplex: Full
• Flow control: Off
• Link Aggregation: Disabled
3.1.2 SFP/SFP+ Slots
Fiber ports 11 and 12 are slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (Plus) modules, such as an SFP or
SFP+ transceivers. SFP+ is an enhanced version of 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-optic 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-optic connectors.
• Type: SFP/SFP+ connection interface
• Connection speed: 1 or 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
3.1.2.1 Transceiver Installation
Use the following steps to install a mini-GBIC transceiver (SFP+ module).
1 Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down.
2 Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place.
XS1920 Series User’s Guide
