This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch. The XS1930 Series consists of
the following models:
• XS1930-10
• XS1930-12HP
References to PoE model(s) in this User's Guide only apply to XS1930-12HP.
The Switch is a smart managed switch supporting Multi-Gigabit ports. See Section 1.1.1 on page 18 for
more information about Multi-Gigabit. The Switch provides two SFP+ slots for uplink. By integrating static
route functions, the Switch performs wire-speed layer-3 routing in addition to layer-2 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. When the Switch is in Nebula cloud management mode, it can be
managed and provisioned by the Zyxel Nebula Control Center (NCC) (see Section 8.12 on page 112).
The following table describes the hardware features of the Switch by model.
A 10 Gigabit Ethernet port supports speeds of 10 Gbps if the connected device supports 10 Gbps and a
Cat 6a (up to 100 m) or Cat 6 cable (up to 50 m) is used.
Some network devices such as gaming computers, servers, network attached storage (NAS) devices, or
access points may have network cards that are capable of 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps connectivity.
If these devices are connected to a 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps Ethernet port, they can only transmit or receive
up to 1 Gbps as speeds of 10 Gbps cannot be attained. Moreover, if network devices with 10 Gbps
network cards are connected to a 10 Gbps Ethernet port, you must use Cat 6A or better Ethernet cables
to achieve 10 Gbps speeds.

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
The Multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports on the Switch automatically allow connections up to the speed of the
connected network device (100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps), and you just need to use a Cat 5e
or Cat 6 Ethernet cable.
Figure 1 Multi-Gigabit Application
See the following table for the cables required and distance limitation to attain the corresponding
speed.
Note: Make sure to select the correct speed for the port in Basic Setting > Port Setup.
1.1.2 Management Modes
NebulaFlex means you can set the Switch to operate in either direct 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 (enabled by default).
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
website.
See the NCC (Nebula Control Center) User’s Guide for how to configure the Switch using Nebula.
1.1.3 Mode Changing
This section describes how to change the Switch’s management mode.
Note: If you change the Switch’s management mode from standalone mode to Nebula-
managed mode, the configuration settings of the Switch will be overwritten with what
you have configured in Nebula.
If you change the Switch’s management mode from Nebula-managed mode to
standalone mode, the Switch will reset to its factory-default settings.

• On a label on the Switch or
• On its box or
• In the web configurator at Basic Setting > Cloud Management > Nebula Switch Registration.
See Section 3.3 on page 35 for more information about the CLOUD LED or Section 7.2 on page 73 for
more information about the Hybrid Mode field in the Status screen to see if the Switch goes into Nebula
cloud management mode successfully.
Note: The Switch goes into Nebula-managed mode automatically after it can access the
Nebula web portal and is successfully registered there. Its login password and settings
are then overwritten with what you have configured in the Nebula web portal.
From Nebula-managed to Standalone
To return to direct management standalone mode, just remove (unregister) the Switch from the
organization/site in the Nebula web portal. The Switch will reboot and restore the factory default
settings.

1.1.4 ZON Utility
You can view, manage, and configure the Switch and its neighboring devices using its built-in web
configurator, including the Neighbor Management feature (Section 4.4 on page 48).
In addition, Zyxel offers a proprietary software program called Zyxel One Network (ZON) Utility. It is a 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 44.
1.1.5 PoE
The Switch is a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) because it provides a source of power via 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) Plus
• IEEE 802.3bt 4PPoE (4-pair PoE)
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
The following table describes the PoE features of the Switch by model.
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.

Figure 2 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 etc.

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
1.2.3 Bridging / 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 via the Switch. You can
provide a super-fast uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet/SFP/SFP+ port on the Switch.
Figure 4 Bridging / 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. The Switch can provide high bandwidth at
much lower cost while still being able to use existing network 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.

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
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 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 114.
1.2.5.1 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 6 Shared Server Using VLAN Example
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 39.
• FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See Section 35.11.1 on page
291.
• SNMP. The Switch can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See Section 35.8 on page 286.
• Cluster Management. Cluster Management allows you to manage multiple switches through one
switch, called the cluster manager. See Chapter 39 on page 317.
• 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 44.
XS1930 Series User’s Guide
25
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your 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 Section 8.12 on page 112 or the
NCC User’s Guide for detailed information about how to access the NCC and manage your Switch
via the NCC. See the NCC User’s Guide for how to configure Nebula managed devices.
1.4 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 Switch. You could simply restore your
last configuration.
