Benefits

Empower Gigabit Converged Network

ZyXEL GS-2724 is designed for SMB/SME network to realize multifunctional, Gigabit backbone

connectivity. Not only L2 switching, L3 routing can be handled as well, which makes the GS-2724 a cost-

effective platform for SMB/SME to form a L2/L3 network with just single device. Moreover, wire-speed

gigabit switching architecture as well as impressive performance in VoIP, QoS & security that makes the

GS-2724 a wise investment of building up a future-proof network for your business.

Secure Multi-Services Delivery Quality

To harness the multi-services like VoIP, Video-conferencing & Video streaming in business environment,

the GS-2724 equips with valued-added features to optimize traffic prioritization. Cooperation of eight

priority queues and WRR/SPQ scheduling algorithm can secure quality of time-sensitive applications.

Moreover, different services can be assigned to specific VLAN and configured with different priority for

traffic management. The GS-2724 comes with Multi-layer ACL provides L2/L3/L4 indicators for conducting

policy management on traffic.

24-port Managed L3 Gigabit Switch

Enhance Multi-layer Security Protection

The GS-2724 demonstrates strict security protection. Intrusion lock can prevent intruder. MAC freeze,

static MAC forwarding and MAC filtering can conduct protection based on MAC address. 802.1Q VLAN

can isolate traffic into different virtual LANs to protect business-critical information. Multi-layer ACL

provides L2/L3/L4 indicators for policy management on security protection. Furthermore, 802.1x can

further facilitate the assignment of VLAN and bandwidth.
