The Switch is a stackable, layer-3, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch with one power slot for single power
supply. The Switch provides six 10 GbE ports for uplink. By integrating router functions, the Switch
performs wire-speed layer-3 routing in addition to layer-2 switching.
With its built-in Web Configurator, including the Zyxel One Network (ZON) Neighbor Management
feature, viewing, managing and configuring the Switch and its neighboring devices is easy. The Switch
can also be managed through Telnet, any terminal emulator program on the console port, or third-party
SNMP management.
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 computer.
All models are referred to as the "Switch" in this guide.
The Switch supports NebulaFlex for hybrid mode which can set the Switch to operate in either
standalone or Nebula cloud management mode. When the Switch is in standalone mode, it can be
configured and managed by the Web Configurator. When the Switch is in Nebula cloud management
mode, it can be managed and provisioned by the Zyxel Nebula Control Center (NCC).
The following table describes the hardware features of the Switch by model.
