iSafe - High-Security for Business-Critical Applications
The GS-4000 Series works with iSafe intelligent 3-tiers security which offers complete data security in the data
and management plane via a wide range of security features to protect users' data and administrative traffic, and
secure the network from unauthorized users.
802.1x authentication and Port security provide the ability to deny unauthorized users from accessing the
network. Limited MAC Number by Port limits the total number of devices connected to a switch port, therefore
highly reducing the risk of unknown access from mass deployed wireless networks or Hubs. Cooperating with
RADIUS, 802.1x is useful to prevent unauthorized access based on username and password (or other credentials)
and acts as powerful access control for convergent networks with mixed wired and wireless access.
The GS-4000 Series multilayer (L2/L3/L4) ACLs suite of sophisticated rule-based control mechanisms is easily
deployed, based on realistic network environments via a Web GUI or command line to prevent abnormal and
illegal access. The rules can be defined to deny packets based on source and destination MAC addresses,
IP addresses, or TCP/UDP ports.
iManage - Enterprise-class Network Management
The GS-4000 Series works with iManage intelligent network management tool kits. Compared with conventional
bounded network management, ZyXEL GS-4000 Series demonstrates its power with advanced management
capabilities; such as ZyXEL-exclusive iStacking
floors and routing domains to locate other iStacking-capable switches in the same management cluster, thus
allowing administrators to manage 24 switches with one single IP. This greatly reduces operating costs and offers
more flexible maintenance of ZyXEL Switches. IT staff can opt for the Web or command line interface to suit their
needs, and even encrypt their instructions with SSHv1/v2 and SSL/TLS. With these sophisticated functionalities,
the IT staff is empowered to build a highly secure and efficient corporate network with minimum effort.
