Applications - ZyXEL Communications dimension ES-4024 User Manual

Security
System management password protection
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
Port-based VLAN
IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication
Static MAC address filtering
Limit dynamic port MAC address learning
Filtering based on source/destination IP addresses
Port Trunking
The ES-4024 adheres to the IEEE 802.3ad standard for static and dynamic port trunking.
Bandwidth Control
The ES-4024 supports rate limiting in 1Kbps increments allowing you to create different service plans
The ES-4024 supports IGMP snooping enabling group multicast traffic to be only forwarded to ports that
are members of that group; thus allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your
switch.
Traffic Classification and Prioritization
Four priority queues so you can ensure mission-critical data gets delivered on time.
Follows the IEEE 802.1p priority setting standard based on source/destination MAC/IP addresses.
Support RFC 2475 DiffServ
Support traffic priority based on the TCP/UDP ports
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)
STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a
switch to interact with other STP-compliant switches in your network to ensure that only one path exists between
any two stations on the network.

1.2 Applications

This section shows a few examples of using the ES-4024 in various network environments.
1.2.1 Backbone Application
In this application, the switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the
near future.
The switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers directly to the
switch's port or connect other switches to the ES-4024.
