Ways To Manage The Switch; Good Habits For Managing The Switch - ZyXEL Communications GS1920v2 Series User Manual

1.2.5.1 Tag-based VLAN Example
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain thereby increase network
performance through reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding,
moving or changing ports without any re-cabling.
Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server. In the
following figure only ports that need access to the server need to be part of VLAN 1. Ports can belong to
other VLAN groups too.

1.3 Ways to Manage the Switch

Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch.
• NCC (Zyxel Nebula Control Center). With the NCC, you can remotely manage and monitor the
Switch through a cloud-based network management system. See the NCC User's Guide for detailed
information about how to access the NCC and manage your Switch through the NCC. See the NCC
User's Guide for how to configure Nebula managed devices.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported)
web browser. See
• FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup or restore. See
67.3.1 on page
• SNMP. The Switch can be monitored and/or managed by an SNMP manager. See
page 147.
• Cluster Management. Cluster Management allows you to manage multiple switches through one
switch, called the cluster manager. See
• ZON Utility. ZON Utility is a program designed to help you deploy and perform initial setup on a
network more efficiently. See
