MAC/IP/TCP/UDP
• Wire speed mirroring per
MAC/IP/TCP/UDP
Traffic Management and QoS
• IEEE 802.1p
• 8 egress queues per port for different
types of traffic
• WFQ (Weighted Fair Queue) scheduling
for different prioritization of packets
• Strict priority queuing for highest priority
packets to get best service
• IEEE 802.1Q tag-based and
port-based VLAN
• 256 static VLAN, up to 4K dynamic VLAN

member registration
• Supports jumbo frame, up to 9K Bytes
• Supports IGMP snooping
• Congestion control on all ports
Rate Limiting
• Allow bandwidth to be shaped in steps
at 1Mbps
• Rate limiting based on combination of
L2/L3/L4 fields using ACL
Link Aggregation
• IEEE 802.3ad compliant
• Support LACP, static and dynamic
link aggregation
• Up to 6 aggregation groups
• 8 ports per group randomly selected
Redundancy for Fault Backup
• IEEE802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(RSTP)(provides rapid convergence of
spanning tree independent of spanning-
tree timer)
• Supports ZyXEL Backup Power System
(BPS) (that provides internal power source
redundancy, improve fault tolerance)
User Security and Authentication
• MAC filtering per port secures access to
each port
• Specific MAC forwarding per port: only
specified MAC addresses can access the
network (port lock)
• Limit the number of MAC address per port
• 802.1x port-based security, prevent
unauthorized client access to the network
• Private VLAN provides security and
isolation between ports on a switch,
ensures that users can not snoop on each
other’s traffic
Network Administration Security
• User name/password required for
web/telnet/local console administrators
• Two level security by specific SNMP
read/write community
• SSH provides network security by
encrypting administration traffic (*)
Network Management
• Supports ZyXEL iStacking™, up to 24
switches can be managed by one IP
• Web-based management
• Telnet CLI
• SNMP v2c
• RS-232c Local console
• IP management: static IP or DHCP client
