In today’s rapidly changing world of cloud-based products and services, it can be dicult for large
enterprises, as well as small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to decide how to best handle
increased data and the demands of applications like VoIP, video streaming and IP surveillance. In
this environment, networks need to be simultaneously faster and more reliable, as well as easy
to set up and maintain. To help meet these challenges, ZyXEL has introduced the XS1920-12,
a 10GbE smart switch for SMB that economically upgrades any network to high-speed 10GbE
bandwidth.

Aordable 10GbE network connectivity for SMB
When attempting to meet today’s demand for more bandwidth, SMBs often face increased expenditures,
dicult deployments and other complex issues. The XS1920-12 has been designed to overcome these
challenges with ZyXEL’s new 10GbE smart switch technology, which features ten (10) copper 10GbE
connections and two (2) 10GbE SFP+ combos for 10G ber links, oering additional exibility for tricky
deployments. The XS1920-12’s small port count design makes it the ideal choice for small businesses
looking for an aordable network switch solution.
Upgrade the network with investment-protection
Upgrading with the XS1920-12 is a hassle-free operation. Backward-compatibility for Gigabit network
allows SMBs to leverage existing Cat5/Cat5e infrastructure. The XS1920-12 also future-proofs networks
with IPv6 support and 10GbE connectivity when an SMB is ready to convert to Cat6A and above cabling.
A Cat6A or above cabled network is able to use RJ45 connectors to provide higher bandwidth up to 100
m with 10GbE copper.
ZyXEL One Network experience
Aiming for relieving our customers from repetitive operations of deploying and managing a network,
ZyXEL One Network is designed to simplify the conguration, management, and troubleshooting,
allowing our customers to focus on the business priorities. ZyXEL One Network presents an easy-to-use
tool, ZyXEL One Network Utility (ZON Utility), to realize speed network setup. ZyXEL Smart Connect
allows ZyXEL networking equipment to be aware and recognize each other and further facilitating the
network maintenance via one-click remote functions such as factory reset or power cycling. ZyXEL One
Network redenes the network integration across multiple networking products from switch to Wi-Fi AP
and to Gateway.

Robust features to ensure network availability
The XS1920-12 protects users from network disruptions caused by internal errors or outside attack and ensures uninterrupted connectivity through
several key features. Loop Guard helps networks avoid service disruptions caused by switching loops, and IP Source Guard (IPSG) shields your network
from MAC spoof and ARP spoof attacks. Additionally, attacks such as BPDU, ARP and IGMP can target network facilities. However, CPU protection
guarantees that a network continues to operate, even while under attack. In addition, dual images and conguration support guarantee network
availability and reliability. These are just some of the ways that the XS1920-12 guarantees headache-free network connectivity for SMBs.
Smart management and advanced functionality
With features like L2 switching capacity, the XS1920-12 is able to function as a core switch, making it the cost-eective switching solution for SMBs. As
part of the smart switch series, the XS1920-12 allows administrators to perform simplied network management via a user-friendly Web management
interface.
Feature Highlights
10GbE Connectivity
When compared to Gigabit Ethernet switches, 10
Gigabit Ethernet switches oer increased scalability
and eciency for network infrastructure. The XS1920-
12 comes with both 10GbE RJ-45 and 10GbE combo
(RJ-45/SFP) connectivity, which allows easy and exible
upgrades and deployment of 10GbE networks.
ZyXEL One Network Utility
The XS1920-12 features the ZON utility to streamline
network management. Administrators can check
locations, assign IPs, reboot and upgrade rmware
for multiple switches through a single platform. This
eliminates the need for administrators to use direct
access or expensive and overly specic network
management tools.
Neighbor Device Discovery
As part of the ZyXEL One Network experience, the
XS1920-12 is able to discover all connected ZyXEL
networking devices, as well as other devices supporting
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) so administrators
can see what devices are connected, what ports are
being used, device IPs and even rmware versions.
IPv6
With support for comprehensive IPv6 management
features, the XS1920-12 helps businesses stay ahead of
the competition and prepare for future IPv6 networks.
Full IPv6 support features that include auto conguration,
duplicate address prevention, dual-stack and neighbor
discovery ensure a business’s network investment is
protected.
Dual Image
To provide a network with increased availability and
reliability for SMBs, the XS1920-12 features dual image to
reduce down time when rmware is being upgraded.
Web-Based Management
As with the entire smart switch series, there’s no need
for administrators to learn a complicated command line
interface to manage the XS1920-12, which is able to act as
a core switch in SMB networks. Administrators can easily
manage the device through a handy Web-based tool.
Web GUI Redirection
Administrators occasionally need to update or
recongure devices by looking up their IP address and
logging in. Now, a simple click on the displayed devices
brings administrators to the Web GUI for additional
conguration. It is no longer necessary to look up the
latest inventory list to conrm the IP address of a specic
device.
