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).

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.

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

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.

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

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 1038 IP addresses. At the time 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.
