CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your Switch
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch.
1.1 Introduction
Your Switch is a stackable, layer-2, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch supporting Multi-Gigabit. See
Section 1.1.1 on page 23 for more information about Multi-Gigabit. The Switch equips with dual AC
power supply modules, and it’s ideal for SMB (Small-and-Medium-Sized Businesses) and enterprises.
You could use 10 Gigabit SFP+ slots for fiber connections to the backbone switches, and you could use
the 10 Gbps Ethernet ports for connections to other Ethernet devices requiring high-bandwidth, such as
network-attached storage (NAS), game consoles, servers, and so on.
The last four combo ports can also be used for stacking. When working in stacking mode, the Switch can
operate together with other Switches of the same model and firmware version and allows you to
remotely manage them from one switch using one single IP address.
The Switch performs full layer-2 switching features and basic layer-3 basic routing features, such as static
route (see Chapter 44 on page 432 ), and IGMP (see Chapter 25 on page 254 ).
XS3800-28 User’s Guide
22
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
Figure 1 Switch Application
1.1.1 Multi-Gigabit
A 10 Gigabit 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. The speed drops to 1G if these criteria are not met; it
drops to 100 Mbps if a Cat 5 cable is used (up to 100 m).
If a network device such as a 5G network card, gaming computer, server, Network Attached Storage
(NAS) or Access Point (AP) only supports 2.5 Gigabit or 5 Gigabit connectivity, then the maximum speed
potential of these devices is never reached.
In addition, at the time of writing, most existing cabling is Cat 5e or Cat 6, further limiting maximum
speed/distance potential.
Multi-Gigabit (IEEE 802.3bz) solves these problems by additionally supporting 2.5 Gigabit and 5 Gigabit
Ethernet connections over Cat 5e and higher Ethernet cables. Multi-Gigabit ports are also backward
compatible with 100 Mbps and 1 Gigabit ports.
XS3800-28 User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
Figure 2 Multi-Gigabit Application
See the following table for the cables required and distance limitation to attain the corresponding
speed.
Table 1 Cable Types
CABLE TRANSMISSION SPEED MAXIMUM DISTANCE BANDWIDTH CAPACITY
Category 5 100 Mbps 100 m 100 MHz
Category 5e 1 Gbps/2.5 Gbps/5Gbps 100 m 100 MHz
Category 6 5 Gbps/10 Gbps 50 m 250 MHz
Category 6a 10 Gbps 100 m 500 MHz
Category 7 10 Gbps 100 m 650 MHz
Note: Make sure to select the correct speed for the port in Basic Setting > Port Setup .
1.1.2 Stacking Mode
The Switch can work in stacking mode and directly connect to other switches. The switches then
operate together and act as a single switch or a virtual chassis. The stackable switches can be
managed from a master switch in the stack. See Section 8.8 on page 111 for more information about
stacking.
Note: To set the Switch to stacking mode, go to the Basic Setting > Stacking > Configuration
screen (see Section 8.8.3 on page 114 ).
Note: When the Switch is in stacking mode, it uses the default static IP address 192.168.1.1.

1.1.3 Management Method
With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the Switch is easy. In addition, the Switch
can also be managed via Telnet, any terminal emulator program using the Command Line Interface
(CLI), or third-party SNMP management.
1.1.4 Management Modes
NebulaFlex for ‘hybrid mode’ means you can set the Switch to operate in only one of either standalone
or cloud mode (not both at the same time). The Nebula Control Center (NCC) is an alternative cloudbased network management system that allows you to remotely manage and monitor the Switch in
cloud mode.
Note: Hybrid mode and NCC registration are reserved for future use.
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. 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.

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
See the NCC (Nebula Control Center) User’s Guide for how to configure the Switch using Nebula.
1.1.5 Mode Changing
This section describes how to change the Switch’s management mode.
Note: Hybrid mode and NCC registration are reserved for future use.
Note: When you change the Switch’s management mode from standalone mode to Nebula-
manged mode, the configuration settings of the Switch will be overwritten with what
you have configured in Nebula.
When you change the Switch’s management mode from Nebula-manged mode to
standalone mode, the Switch will reset to its factory-default settings.
From Standalone to Nebula Cloud Management
To manage your Switch via Nebula, connect the Switch to the Internet, and register it to a site and
organization at the Nebula web portal (https://nebula.zyxel.com).
See the following steps or the Switch Quick Start Guide for how to do device registration.
Go to the NCC to Register the Switch
1 Go to the Nebula web portal in one of three ways.

• In the web configurator at Basic > Cloud Management > Nebula Switch Registration.
See Section 3.3 on page 40 for more information about the CLOUD LED or Section 7.2 on page 75 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 click Unregister to remove the Switch from the
organization/site in the Nebula web portal. The Switch will reboot and restore the factory default
settings.
1.1.6 ZON Utility
With its built-in web configurator, including the Neighbor Management feature (Section 7.3 on page 77 ),
viewing, managing and configuring the Switch and its neighboring devices is easy.
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 operating system).
For more information on ZON Utility see Section 4.3 on page 46 .
The following table shows which firmware version supports ZON and Neighbor Management (Smart
Connect) for each Switch. The firmware on each Switch is identified by the firmware trunk version,
followed by a unique model code and release number in brackets. For example, 4.60(ABML.0) is a

firmware version for the Switch where 4.60 is the firmware trunk version, ABML identifies the Switch and .0
is the first release of trunk version 4.60.

1.2 Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments.
1.2.1 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 the 10 Gigabit uplink ports on the Switch.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
Figure 4 Bridging Application
1.2.2 High Performance Switching Example
The Switch is ideal for connecting two geographically dispersed networks that need high bandwidth. In
the following example, a company uses the 10 Gigabit uplink ports to connect the headquarters to a
branch office network. Within the headquarters network, a company can use trunking to group several
physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. Trunking can be used if for example, it is cheaper to
use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.

1.2.3 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application Example
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 group(s) unless such traffic first goes through
a router.
For more information on VLANs, refer to Chapter 9 on page 119 .
1.2.3.1 Tag-based VLAN Example
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain, thus increasing network
performance by reducing 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.

1.2.4 IPv6 Support
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and features. The increase in
IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 10
of writing, the Switch supports the following features.
• Static address assignment and stateless auto-configuration
• Neighbor Discovery Protocol (a protocol used to discover other IPv6 devices in a network)
• Remote Management using ping SNMP, telnet, HTTP and FTP services
• ICMPv6 to report errors encountered in packet processing and perform diagnostic functions, such as
"ping”
• IPv4/IPv6 dual stack; the Switch can run IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time
• DHCPv6 client and relay
• Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping and proxy
For more information on IPv6, refer to Appendix C on page 571 and the CLI Reference Guide.
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 may be
necessary to configure advanced features. See the CLI Reference Guide.
• FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See Section
51.11 on page 492.
• SNMP. The device can be monitored and/or managed by an SNMP manager. See Section 52.3 on
page 496.
