A Robust, Intelligent Layer 2 Ethernet Switch for Small Workgroups

Benefits

Powerful Compact Design for Small Workgroup Environment

The ES-2108 Managed Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch Series is designed for small workgroup environment.

Thanks to its compact 8-port design and selections of uplink options (1000Base-T, SFP, 100FX), the ES-2108

Series offers functionality and connectivity that best fit small-workgroup needs. In addition, the wall-

mountable design adds flexibility of deployment.

The ES-2108 Series comes in four models: ES-2108, ES-2108-G, ES-2108-LC and ES-2108PWR. All switches

come with a non-blocking 5.6 Gbps switching architecture for wire-speed transmission. The ES-2108 has 8

10/100Base-T ports without the uplink interface. The ES-2108-G comes with one dual personality Gigabit

uplink port. The ES-2108-LC comes with independent uplink interface of one 100FX port and one SFP slot

to ease deployment of fiber connectivity with future-proof hardware. In addition to having all the features

in ES-2108-G, ES-2108PWR includes the PoE (Power over Ethernet) to supply power to devices connected to

the 8 10/100Base-T ports simultaneously.

Excellent Network Management Capability

The ZyXEL ES-2108 Series includes rich management tools to streamline your management effort. With

ZyXEL’s exclusive iStacking™ technology, you can manage up to 24 ZyXEL switches through one IP address.

In addition, through iManage

configuration, network managers can select the one management interface they are most comfortable

with and get the job done efficiently. Moreover, you can protect your management session with SSHv1/v2

authentication and SSL encryption features. With its comprehensive features, ZyXEL’s ES-2108 Series is your

first choice for cost-effective networking.

Security on the Network Edge

Support of IEEE 802.1x authentication allows centralized user management and added security protection.

The ES-2108 Series comes with complete VLAN functions (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and port-based VLAN)

to secure your network. With 4K PVID, you have complete freedom in VLAN management. The ES-2108

Series also includes device-aware security features (MAC address, like MAC filtering, MAC freezing and MAC

forwarding) to effectively prevent access of unidentified devices. All these features offer extra protection on

the network edge.

Traffic Prioritization for Multi-Services

With 4 priority queues and WRR scheduling mechanism, ZyXEL’s ES-2108 Series is able to perform traffic prioritizing for multi-service applications. You can

also customize DSCP settings to provide an end-to-end QoS environment. In addition, you can enable IGMP snooping to optimize service quality for IP

multicasting applications. For bandwidth management, the ES-2108 Series supports bandwidth increment of 64Kbps to give different bandwidth allocations.
