Build a High Availability, Robust and
Reliable Network — Meet the Challenge
of Virtualization
The ZyXEL XGS Series of L3 switches enable enterprise and SMB businesses to deploy high
availability networks to meet the need to migrate to a virtualized and consolidated solution.
The evolution to the virtualized network meets the increasing demands in server utilization
and availability within the business today. The XGS4700 and XGS4500 Series compliments
the network infrastructure of virtualization as both Series deliver not only robust, reliable
enterprise-class L2/L3 switch features but are also designed to accomplish high-availability
routing for better utilization of network bandwidth.
The ZyXEL XGS4700 Series consists of two models: XGS-4728F and XGS4700-48F. The
XGS-4728F offers 24 dual-personality 1000BASE-T copper/SFP fiber ports, 2 built-in 12G
Gigabit CX4 stacking interfaces and 1 open slot for the optional 10G Gigabit EM-422/412
uplink module which supports up to 2 10G transceivers. The XGS4700-48F offers 48 SFP
Gigabit Ethernet ports plus 2 open slots for 2 10G Gigabit EM-422/412 uplink modules which
support up to 4 10G transceivers.
The ZyXEL XGS4500 Series consists of two models: XGS-4528F and XGS-4526. Similar to the
XGS-4728F, the XGS-4528F offers 24 Gigabit dual-personality ports along with 2 built-in 12G
Gigabit stacking interfaces and 1 open slot for the optional 10G Gigabit EM-422/412 uplink
module which supports up to 2 10G transceivers, while the XGS-4526 provides 20 Gigabit
Ethernet ports, 4 Gigabit dual-personality ports and 1 open slot for the optional 10G Gigabit
EM-422/412 uplink module which supports up to 2 10G transceivers.
Benefits
High-performance IPv6 and IPv4 routing
The ZyXEL XGS4700/XGS4500 Series provides businesses with a smooth migration path from IPv4
based networks to a full IPv6 infrastructure, providing investment protection for future network
upgrades when a larger installation of connected devices is required. The XGS4700/XGS4500 Series
utilizes the latest design technology to provide wire speed communication and full-dynamic IP
routing features such as RIP, RIPv2 and OSPF as well as special features such as equal-cost,
multi-path routing (ECMP) which load balances network traffic across multiple paths through the
network that have the same costing. Packets can be delivered to the same device through different
routing paths by designating the equal costs. Businesses can adopt basic static routing technology
such as RIP and RIPv2 for small network routing applications or advanced routing protocols such
as OSPF and ECMP for load balancing. These protocols are a critical part in the creation of fully
resilient scalable networks.
